Parents Guidance and Support: Parents' guidance and support are what the students need the most right now. Students are tensed about their future as there is no certainty and the fresh dates for the entrance exams are not out. Parents should play a proactive role in ensuring that neither is their child pressured nor wastes away the time. Parents can have a discussion with their children related to their future interests. They can also check on their preparation and help them to stay focused and positive.

Group Study Sessions Over Video Call/ Phone Call: Group study sessions are effective and during Quarantine, students can decide a time for a video call to discuss doubts and important topics. This will not only clear their doubts but will also help fight anxiety. Through such sessions, important topics can be discussed or quiz can be conducted among friends.

Relax: And last but not least do not forget to relax. Self-study requires one to take breaks and not to get stressed out. So while studying make sure you take adequate breaks so that the mind is energized and fresh. A healthy mind makes it easier to grasp. Also, do regular exercise and yoga as it will help you concentrate better.
