To make a refreshment/relief/rest/recreation break during studies more productive, do not multi-task therein, but keep it trusted, timed, tabled, tasteful..

Listen to songs like 'Ratta Maar', 'Jame Raho' and 'Party With The Bhootnath' just to remind yourself, that you are not alone..

Follow the leader (or frontrunner) in your sources of Knowledge if you absolutely must.. In that, let quality take precedence over quantity in terms of credibility, scale and relevance..

Love studies, or hate studies, but you just, simply cannot ignore studies.. Put your dibs on that favourite subject, and study all other subjects with the same depth and focus..

If rote learning (repeating again and again in speech or writing) can help you, do not worry about its relevance, or even of its efficacy in others' opinion.. A little bit of cramming does no harm..

When you come across a difficult, unknown word, try to look up its meaning in the dictionary at that very minute.. That is why it is advisable that you keep a pocket dictionary (such as of Sahni brand) with your books and notebooks in your bag, always.. The handy dictionary also makes you work on pronunciations, so it's a must-have.. (Suggesting this out of experience)..

A psychometric test is a must, before you embark on some major decision, such as opting for a career-stream or understanding the goals-feasibility.. Google it up..

Make sure you pick the low-hanging fruits first, in any subject, and before every exam.. What you can manage to memorise easily and/or can get done with less of practice, has to be handled with priority.. Then, your confidence needed to tackle the tougher subjects and more complicated concepts is already high, and you find out your core-competencies as well.. Try this & see..

Keep your intake of grapes (black/green), heavy, hard-to-digest food low during examinations.. Because, my sister (yes, it happens) slept off during a supposedly crucial night-out after she ate green grapes like no one (!) was watching.. Grapes are what is the precursor of alcohol F.Y.I.P. .. Just eat some less-sugar, low-fat stuff before appearing for that high-stakes exam..

Earn while you learn.." Simple, easy-to-follow advice and it is actually very helpful.. It''s more like a revision of basics and you get pocket-money..

Always prefer forMals while it is possible in college.. A formal, not necessarily boring, attire helps in keeping your concentration and focus high while studying.. Again, this is a first-hand account of the way I perceived the 'WHO', 'WHOSE', 'HOW', 'WHEN'during student-life.. You can always go for casuals on weekends, specific days or celebrations and while hanging out..

To become good at something or get better at something, you first have to be bad at it and to not be glad about it..

A day in the life of a student should typically include some due, designated time for leisure / recreation / pursuit of hobbies.. #BeingStudent #StudentPrivilege

Keep the area of study airy, neat and clean, well-lit and, away from too much distracting items, if possible.. You can't expect a student to deliver a good performance if he/she is uncomfortable or too comfortable in the studies space.. Believe in "means are as important as ends"..

Learn sifting, scanning and skimming techniques, particularly helpful in Reading Comprehension and in exams with negative-marking or sectional cut-off/time-limit/both..

There is (according to me) no harm in exploring second-hand textbooks (and guides, previous years' exam papers) market, if you would like to broaden your scope of learning and get more preparation material in less money.. Be smart, use resources well, and don't forget to sell or resell what you are done extracting from..

Tomorrow never comes.. Not only in the film ''Stree'', but in anyones life.. Crush that tough, tricky concept today, R.N.. Unless you are among those who are fine with clearing the grade, you should never postpone what you know would take time or practice..

A study (independent study by me) on group-studies shows that no one studies in that mode of study.. You can compare (and share) the notes, if that works for you..

You should strive to be Jack of all trades (I mean, subjects) and master of at least one, starting early in academic career.. You would also zero in on your stream of choice in that process, slowly but steadily..

ust take your diet and nutrition needs (Recommended Dietary Allowance) seriously, find what works better for your body and mind, in terms of food intake, exercise, hydration frequency, and stick to it religiously.. It is fine if you don't eat soaked fig (Anjeer) or almonds, but focus on what majorly affects your ability to learn, memorise and not on that health-drink, which could make you sharper-stronger-taller as an additive to milk.. Holy cow, hail cow, help cow.. If you are lactose-intolerant, then go vegan, but nourish your system..

on't bank on power supply, finish that assignment NOW.. Else, you would have your patience tested instead of your potential.. (Been there, done that in no-power or low-voltage/voltage-fluctuation times..) Grew up in Indore, and now, it boasts of being the country's 1st city to have both , IIM as well as IIT (top engineering & management colleges brand, respectively, in India)

If you don't buy an alarm clock, then don't buy bluetooth speakers or home-theatre system without parents'/guardians' express nod..

Using and sharing lecture audio- recordings is one of the coolest ways to learn better.. Alternatively, you could click snaps of explanation of your doubts, or of answer-keys and such..

Try to learn Shorthand at an early stage of education, if you struggle with notes-taking during class.. Shorthand is not meant only for scribes or people in the writing profession, but comes handy for students in any age-group.. Another advantage is that you can write in a way that you only can decipher it.. ut yeah, please don't write in shorthand in tests/exam.. Also Try to improve your hand-eye coordination in writing or jotting down what inevitably has to be noted/submitted on paper in own handwriting..

To make the most of coaching centre experience, always 1. Try to be front-bencher2. Try to grasp and note in a balanced, tactical way3. Try to have some snacks like Laahi Chiwda (Laahi is super-rich in anti-oxidants), roasted channa (high-protein), makhana or lotus seeds (they are super nutritious) or simply a handful of packed food for that salty craving and to feel like a real, human, natural person..

Treat your teacher like a trainer, an instructor, a coach.. As they say, education can only amplify and bring out what's already present in you..

Make a time-table for homework/assignment and self-study and revision.. Keep it realistic.. Stick to it religiously.. And, prepare for your big day (Exam!) in a time-bound, accountable manner..

Every student could do with following more of these useful tips for getting their academic and professional goals right..
