Sakshi Education: Hardwork is the Key to success

Hardwork is the Key to success

Before the commencement of the examinations the student has to complete the assignment work entrusted by the subject teacher. In core subjects of the concerned branch, the student must put effort to solve some exercise problems. Then only he/she can score well in the examinations. About 30 to 40% weightage will be given to problems in the question paper and he/she has to obtain minimum marks set by the particular university in the theory exams to get through the subject.

The student has to be very careful in problem solving as, in the examination paper 30 to 40% component will be from problems and remaining 60 to 70% from theory portion. Another simple way one has to follow to score good percentage of marks is to practise all the questions given in the previous (3 or 4) examination papers pertaining to each subject whether insisted by the teacher or not. Then the student thoroughly knows in what format the questions appear in the examination and also by this process the student will come to know how to manage with the time during examination hours. Without hard work the student cannot attempt the examination comfortably. Though the student possesses high IQ (Intelligence Quotient) hard work adds much value to his/her preparation.

In the initial stage of his/her course work, i.e. Ist and IInd year, the student has to strive a lot to get acquainted to appear for the exam. The student will be in full track by the time he comes into IIIrd and IVth year of his course work. This is a bit tough for the first year and second year students.

In the first year, it is a beginning of the professional course. Almost all subjects in the first year are basic sciences except one subject (Engineering Graphics). In the first year, mostly the scheme and syllabii is same for all branches of engineering.

Coming to the second year, the student has to put a little effort in the preparation for the exams as huge barrier has to be crossed in the transition from the first year to the second year of the study. In the later years of the course, the same trend will be continued. In the first and second years, he/she has to lay strong basement or foundation.

Especially, the students who join in the branches like ECE, EEE, lot of effort has to be put on mathematics also and they should not ignore mathematics at any stage because, core subjects in the above branches are mostly based on mathematics background. These students have to give equal importance to the subjects related to mathematics on par with subjects of their domain area. On overall observation by the experts, "Mathematics is the backbone to any branch of Engineering". Without proper knowledge in mathematics, certain things cannot be solved in engineering subjects eg. differential equations, integrations, s-transforms, Fourier transforms, z-transforms, numerical methods etc..

Regarding practicals, i.e. laboratory examinations, the student has to complete all his record work as guided by the concerned teacher. He/she has to prepare to do any experiment given in the practical exams from the list of experiments mentioned in the syllabus.

Regarding internal (sessional) marks, the student has to be regular in his/her class work and he/she has to appear for internal exams conducted at regular intervals. Those marks will help him/her to boost his/her percentage. He/she has to maintain minimum attendance 80 to 85% as stipulated by the particular university. Otherwise he/she shall be detained to appear for the examinations. One has to be very careful in this aspect as nowadays everything is on-line process. The evaluation of attendance is also on-line process updated either daily or weekly by the concerned officers.

Coming to the third year, the student's concentration will be diverted in appearing for GRE and other competitive examinations. During the final year, he/she will be busy appearing for interviews related to placements. But the student should never neglect the course subjects as the undergraduate degree is the basic requirement either to go for employment or for higher studies. So, the student has to come out of his institution with undergraduate degree in his hands either with "Distinction" or with minimum "First Class". To achieve this target he/she has to spare minimum 3 to 4 hours per day during regular days and 4 to 6 hours per day during examination preparation of his/her studies. To do this, a lot of sincerity and discipline are needed. The student has to take these two as his/her ground rules. Then only he/she can reach the top of the ladder and can grab many opportunities in their life. Then only, they can prove themselves as successful engineers.
