This study was aimed at constructing and trying out of science Dingnostic test for the trainees of primary teachers training colleges.
The researcher had tried to know the effect of variables like sex, caste and stream of PTC traines. A self constricted science

was analyzed with to help of statistical methods take mean SD, error and t - value and conclusions were found out. The survey method
was used. The sample was selected stratified sampling method.
