TIPS TO SUCCEESS IN STUDIES:

• Always remember that academics come FIRST.
• It does NOT require you to sit and study ALL the time to perform well.
• Be attentive in class, note down the important things. Get back and refer books, discuss with your friends and make sure that the concepts are clearly understood and 75% of your academic work is done.
• Do all your assignments in time and another 10-15% of the work is done.
• Rest 10-15% will be include preparations for your sessionals and end-semester exams.
• You shall still have ample amount of time left. Make use of the time for your extra curricular activities.
• Do listen to your seniors. But remember that NOT all that the seniors say is right.
• Never have prejudice about a course or a professor, building a judgment based on what your seniors or your peers say.
• Its not just the marks you score in the exams that is important but knowledge that you gain and how you apply it is what matters the most.
• Do NOT follow the herd. choose a course Whether it is to or a hobby
• Do seek advice from others, bur remember that YOU are always the best judge of your abilities. So decide how much time to spend on course works and how much to the rest.
• Do not panic if you score low marks. Instead find out where you went wrong and correct yourself
• Speak to your class in charges/faculty advisor/concerned /Professors when you are in trouble.
• Be focused. Make the right use of all the facilities especially LAN. With great power comes great responsibility and dont misuse.
• If you see your friends staying up all night watching movies/playing computer games, it is up to you to say no to it, and wake up fresh next day for classes. Saying no to things you consider as wrong will not harm your relationships with others. Learn to differentiate between the good and the bad. Accept the good, reject the bad.
• Learn to take notes in class. Teachers usually do not go by textbooks exclusively and will illustrate concepts through examples or ideas which may be seen in a textbook. It will be necessary for you to know what is being taught, if you are concerned about learning.
• Do not postpone Homework to the last day. Nor should you attempt doing homework during a class on the day it is due.
• Do not panic if you have difficulty comprehending the teacher during the first weeks of your stay. Make a note of the point. Often you can ask a question in class (May not be possible in a large class) so that the teacher knows that you need an explanation. In any case, check on the point with your friends later in the day.
• Do not carry a mobile device to the class. For that matter, you should also not take anything with you which can divert your attention in class (E.g., Newspaper, Storybook).
• The best way to build relationships with faculty is to ask doubts in the class. Do not hesitate to ask doubts wherever your concepts are not clear, however silly it might appear. If you are not confident about asking in front of the whole class, at least ask after the class. If you find anything of special interest to you, do not forget to discuss it in greater detail with your professor after the class. That way even the professor will know that you are indeed interested. Also, if you perform well in academics, it will certainly help strengthen your relationships with the faculty, but it cannot be the sole reason. Try to build relationships with faculty outside your department as well. You will be assigned to a faculty advisor in your department. You can discuss any problems/issues with him/her. It is always better to have friendly relationships with as many faculty as possible.
