Five tips by PM Modi to tackle exam anxiety: -
Smile More, Score More: - PM Narendra Modi expressed that the students should not panic during the exams and they must relax and prepare effectively for the exams. On the other hand, students should not study just for the sake of getting marks, rather focus on studying in order to gain knowledge. He further added that marks would follow if the ambition and mission of students are in sync.
Compete Yourself: - Students must note that exams are meant for only a year and not a lifetime. Exams are primarily considered as a benchmark of success in life. Therefore, students need to compete with themselves rather than competing with others.
Create Festive Environment: - He urged the parents to create a ‘festive environment' and happiness at home with regard to studies. Parents need to play a significant role in accepting their wards ‘the way they are' and mentor them to be a part of the society.
