Suggestions received on the portal

&ldquo;I can suggest some important tips like first, know the syllabus clearly. Second, solve questions, third, prepare note for each subject, fourth, plan your timetable and study; fifth, know your strengths and weakness; sixth, revise well. Seventh, last but not the least, keep yourself fit. Take ample rest and do not panic&rdquo;. -Madhusmita Moharana

&ldquo;Meditation should be promoted for concentration, mental peace, mental stability and conceptual clarity&rdquo;. -Vishnu Singh Bareth

&ldquo;i) Daily one hour of yoga. ii) Daily play outdoor games. iii) Teachers / parents need to understand to not pressurise and say 10th and 12th will decide your college / career not to scare them iv) Not to mug up any subject, understand meaning in mother tongue.&rdquo; -Ankur Parikh
