Ashish Kumar AIR 8 CSE 2023

All the best guys. 😊 Just remember, you have come till here, have faith that you will go ahead too. Stay calm in the exam hall. Don’t talk much in between papers. No discussions. You have studied a lot, believe in yourself that it will help you in the best possible way.

These are very tough times for us all as a fraternity. My heart goes out to the people in grief, I can feel their pain. Having lived in ORN gives me chills every time I think of the incidents. Unfortunately, the fear of mishap which we had while attending classes in a batch of 500-600 students in a basement back in 2018 came true and we lost precious lives in a totally avoidable incident. We have to come out stronger in tough times and support those in distress around us. This should not have happened. Period. When parents send their children for studies, they sacrifice a lot, each and every moment they are worried about their children’s safety and well-being. My mother has cried many times hearing these incidents, as she was the one who forced me not to go back to ORN when I came back after 4 months’ stay. In the absence of parents, it is us who have to look out for each other, help ones in need of assistance. In these turbulent times, it is imperative that we hold each other and create a congenial environment at our rooms. When both my roommates went for classes and library, I was left alone at room and yearned to just talk to someone. Let us be there for each other and come out stronger than ever as a team. I know I have not been able to contribute to this channel, maybe I am the least active of all people here. Here is my mail id: ashishsinghal283@gmail.com. You can reach out to me for anything be it study related or any other problems in life or just vent out. Believe me, in 5 attempts, I have faced almost everything which you might be going through. Take care of yourself and the ones around you. Together we succeed in life. Keep your spirits high.

Hello everyone, Just one suggestion: Most important thing which is required for exam is CONFIDENCE. Believe in your instincts, sub conscious mind often gives right answers. You have studied enough to clear this paper - just believe this. A tip to gain confidence now - take all the main standard subject books and turn pages cover to cover, around 10 or more pages per minute. Your mind will gain a sense of closure and confidence of having studied everything. If possible, do not study tomorrow, let your mind absorb everything tonight by proper sleep and give best output in the exam. You have reached this far, have faith that you will go ahead too. All the best for best efforts in the exam. May success be with you.

For your reference: Sociology has improved from 225 (2021)to 295. GS from 379 (2021)to 455.

Look at CSAT, one question would have changed everything for worse. I highly advise to take CSAT seriously.⚠️ PS: I scored 150 in 2021 CSAT - that is all the more reason to prepare CSAT diligently.
