Director of Samarth Group of Colleges Akhilkumar Halagatti has urged students to plan properly and well in advance for a better career and success in life.
He was speaking at The Hindu Assistance and Guidance Session with the theme, “Score Even More”, organised by The Hindu in association with Samarth Group of Colleges at BioTech Hall of BVB College of Engineering and Technology here on Sunday.
CIGMA was the knowledge partner for the event, which received an overwhelming response with the hall remaining jam-packed till the end.
Different abilities
“Just like a fish cannot climb a tree, every student has different abilities. And the need is to identify one’s strength and weaknesses and subsequently, plan accordingly so that one finds a better career option that suits one’s abilities and also passion,” Mr. Halagatti said.
He told parents to get themselves updated on the variety of new avenues available for their children and also about various competitive examinations that their children were required to appear to pursue different courses.
‘Enjoy studying’
Teaching memory techniques to students, Chief Executive Officer of CIGMA India Ameen-e-Mudassar told students: “Don’t study for exams, Enjoy studying for exams.”
Sharing 20 most important things to be followed by a student in the last 40 days before the examinations, he said that inner motivation, aided by a burning desire and direction, leads to success.
Fun-filled interaction
Engaging students for close to two hours through fun-filled interaction and memory tests and memory techniques, Mr. Ameen-e-Mudassar explained to them why it was also important for them to spend time with family members and good friends.
Several students and parents who took part in the event thanked The Hindu for organising the event and guiding students at an important juncture in their education. A few students said that they now had learnt how to enjoy studies even during the exam stress.
