1. Focus on the basics

Spend at least 100 hours in perfecting your resume, as well as the profile in the placement brochure and on your college website. Create multiple versions of your CV for different roles that you are interested in.

Invite comments on it from friends, both students and working professionals. Exercise your judgement and decide which inputs are worth incorporating. Get written references and recommendations from ex-employers if you have prior work experience. Clean up your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts to remove unseemly pictures and distracting content. Practise for written tests and group discussions if these are part of the standard placement process on your campus.

2. Customise content

Next, go through the placement committee rules for your batch and analyse how these affect your choices. Whenever a new vacancy is announced, understand the job description thoroughly before submitting a customised resume.

Conduct detailed research on the firm that is advertising, its hiring record for previous years, and the nature of interviews it conducts. Go through its website and related news articles. Speak to the employees of the firm, especially the alumni who were hired the previous year. Make it a point to attend its pre-placement talk on your campus and ask questions to clarify your doubts.

3. Build the foundation

Since your resume gets you shortlisted for an interview, mastering it becomes the first step in your preparation. Be ready to answer standard questions on each sentence in your CV. You should be able to describe your major achie vements and projects in two minutes, or analyse it over an hour as the interviewer chooses. Next, download at least a hundred typical interview questions—tell me about yourself; why should we hire you?; what makes you a good consultant or salesman?—from the Internet.

All campus interview questions can be classified into six buckets, namely work experience, education, technical skills, problemsolving skills, personal goals and behaviour.

Prepare in a way that you are able to confidently handle a two-hour interview in any category. The first three sets are the easiest and relate to what you already know. Problem-solving skills may include case interviews or application-oriented questions, which require you to practise beforehand.

The last two types are typically open-ended questions that help employers get a complete picture of you as a person. There are no right or wrong answers to personal preferences or behavioural questions that test your responses to hypothetical situations. The replies reflect your maturity, value system and emotional stability— key components of successful professionals.

4. Sell like a professional

The best prepared answers will get you nowhere if you are unable to present them well. The first step to good communication is to learn how to listen.

Understand what the interviewer really wants to know and do not interrupt him while he is speaking. Seek clarification if you are not sure about the question. During your preparation, practise speaking slowly, clearly and with a neutral accent. Rehearse and perfect your delivery in front of a mirror or a video camera. Thereafter, involve your friends and family to conduct mock interviews for you.

Analyse their criticism to understand what works in conveying the right message. Eliminate unconscious fillers from your speech like 'uhhs' and 'umms', which reflect poor verbal skills. Remember that non-verbal communication, including your appearance, body movement, tone and volume of your voice contribute significantly to the overall impact of your words. Show enthusiasm in your attitude, be willing to admit mistakes and do not use colloquial or insulting words in the interview.

5. Control the interview

An ideal interview is the one where the interviewer asks questions on your areas of strength. The best candidates are able to create such situations by controlling the interview process. This requires considerable planning and practise. To do so, make sure that your response to each question contains a hook that makes the interviewer curious and encourages him to ask a follow-up question for which you are wellprepared.

For instance, a statement like, 'my biggest strength is my ability to resolve conflicts in a team' will invariablylead to the question, 'can you share a couple of examples?'

Use this technique during mock interviews to finetune your strategy. If the interviewer is going off track, ask a job-related question like, 'is knowledge of taxation the most important component of this job?' Listen to the reply and respond with examples that demonstrate your expertise in taxation.

6. Get a better deal

Once you get a job offer, should you negotiate and, if yes, how? If you are desperate for a job, negotiation is usually a bad idea since you have poor bargaining power and the employer may choose someone else.

Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani on Sunday said her ministry was working on a new National Education Policy (NEP) which would be formed by December this year.

"Central government is guided by 'education for all' policy. We are working in this direction and NEP would be formed by December this year," Smriti said on the sidelines of a convocation ceremony at a girls college here.

She said suggestions in this regard have been invited from the education ministers of all the states.

"They have been asked to send their suggestions by November so that a universal education policy could be made for the whole country," she said.

Meanwhile, she rejected the speculation that she was dropped from BJP's national executive executive because of her differences with party chief Amit Shah.

Telangana government on Tuesday stated there are no hurdles to conduct recruitments to about 85,000 government jobs. However, the government didn’t provide a clear timeline as to when the recruitments will begin. Irrigation minister T. Harish Rao said the Chief Minister has already promised that all recruitments would be completed within a year. However, dissatisfied with the “government’s callousness towards the issue,” Opposition parties walked out of the Assembly on Tuesday.

The matter pertaining to recruitments was once again raised during the Question Hour on Tuesday morning. Earlier, when the matter was raised, the government had said that recruitments can’t be taken up until the Kamalanathan committee submits its reports regarding staff allocations between Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh.

However, under pressure from the Opposition on Tuesday, finance minister Etela Rajender conceded, “There are 1,07,744 vacant posts out of which about 15,000 posts are related to the Kamalanathan committee. About 85,000 posts are district, zonal and multi-zonal posts. There is no hurdle for recruitments to these posts.”

Replying to MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi’s queries on Urdu medium exams and 12 per cent reservations for Muslims, Mr Rajender said, “Urdu exam issue is under consideration of the government. The four per cent reservation for Muslims will continue but if there is a recommendation from the appointed committee, we will implement the same.” He also said the government was planning to take up recruitments on a regular basis annually or biannually.

However, the government was criticised by the Opposition for not spelling out when the recruitments would be taken up. Leader of Opposition K. Jana Reddy said, “You admitted that recruitments in 85 per cent posts can be initiated immediately. But till date even a few thousand posts have not been filled by the government.”

According to professors, making the teaching and learning process digitally advanced and connecting the institution and its students with virtual measures, is one of the first steps in making their campuses digitally-enabled.

Students of Thadomal Shahani Engineering College (TSEC), Bandra, have developed a software called ‘ Quiddle’, which deals with online storage of admission data, attendance, results, e-books and information related to placements.

“Our college encourages projects made by students who volunteer to learn and create a virtual campus. We are planning to incorporate these projects in our college,” said GT Thampi, principal, TSEC, Bandra

At KC College, Churchgate, a mobile application has been developed, for students from the management studies, on which data about the departments concerned, exam time tables, lecture timings and event updates are available.

Also, few colleges, including Jai Hind College, KC College and St. Xavier’s College have developed ‘Language lab’, an audio or audio-visual installation used as an aid in language teaching. The lab helps in converting any given text into Indian as well as foreign languages.

Colleges, including Somaiya College of Engineering, Vidyavihar, have digitised their libraries and are creating virtual open sources for students, which include e-books, college projects and e-lectures for students.

Last week, a state-level workshop for librarians of educational institutions on building institutional repository was organised at SP Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPIJMR), Andheri.

“Academic librarians can use the technology, which can be helpful to make their collection stronger and enable students to access it,” said Madhavi Wadkar, librarian, SPJIMR.

City college students said that despite talent among Indian students, foreign universities are ahead of Indian universities because of better digital presence in their campus.

Madhwa Galgali, MA psychology student of Mumbai University said, “If we want to compete with students from foreign universities, it is important that we should have better digital infrastructure.”

Despite the UGC order, it is estimated that more than 350 universities are yet to provide details of their broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity to the agency.

Recently announced, two-year increase in the age limit of 54 years for all-India services including Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Forest Service (IFS) will be made applicable, this year onwards.

Job vacancies to be notified this year onwards will follow the new age.  According to DoPT, "For example, for the select list of 2015, the upper age limit for consideration will be 56 years with crucial date for determination of age as January 1, 2015". However, these rules will not be applicable for selected list of previous year candidates. Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) looks after the selection of candidates to IAS, IPS and IFS from state services.

The move to increase the age limit had come following a representation from some state services officers to Supreme Court challenging the 54 years age criterion. They had put forward the notion to increase the maximum age bar as the retirement age in the central government has been increased from 58 years to 60 years. The Centre had thereupon sought views from the state governments, cadre controlling authorities, i.e. Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate, state civil services, non-state civil services, state police and forest service officers and their associations on the issue.

Dubai: One of India’s oldest education groups, which runs more than 500 educational institutions, has announced its entry into the UAE with the launch of a new school in Dubai.

The 184-year-old CMI Group opened the doors to its latest initiative, AMLED School, located behind Al Khail Mall, in the Al Khail area of Dubai.

The new school will offer the CBSE curriculum from kindergarten to Grade 5 in the 2015-2016 academic year.

The Kerala-based CMI has created a legacy in education, providing education from pre-primary to post-doctoral levels, including medicine, engineering, management, arts, and social sciences.

The group’s most sought after institutions include Christ University (Bengaluru), Rajagiri Higher Secondary School and Rajagiri Public School (both in Kalamassery), to name a few.

The UAE has an extremely high number of CMI institutions’ alumni and Varghese Puthusserry, Principal of AMLED School, said there was a huge demand from ex-students living and working in the region for a school that could impart similar education standards to their children.

The group plans to launch new schools in 2017 in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, in addition to a new location in Dubai.

Dr Mathew Vattathara, Director of AMLED School, said that the new school was a launch-pad for the group’s ambitious plans for the UAE. “CMI Rajagiri is keen to spread its educational footprint across the world and the UAE emerged as a natural choice due to the high number of Indian expatriates in the country.”

A student at Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, Saxena traces her desire to work towards female youth empowerment back to a summer trip to India in July 2009, when she was just 10 years old.

It was a short rickshaw stop with her aunt at one of Lucknow’s all-girl orphanages that transformed her understanding of youth educational opportunities forever.

Recounting the experience, she said, “As I made my way through the dilapidated building of the orphanage, I found scores of young girls, clustered on the floor, scribbling into workbooks and homework sheets. I knelt down beside a pre-teen. ‘Why don’t you study at your desk? You will be able to focus better,’ I suggested.

“She laughed, looking up at me, ‘This isn’t America, didi [sister]. Considering that they don’t have enough money to pay our college tuitions, I don’t think buying us desks is a top priority.’”

Once she returned to the U.S., Saxena found herself wondering why girls in India don’t have the option to pursue higher education.

Upon speaking to the girls and orphanage staff, she learned about the lack of resources and financial support available to fund the students’ college education. The orphanage was forced to “give them out for marriage” when they turned 18.

In 2013, Saxena returned to the same all-girls orphanage and organized a three-week educational summer program for the girls, tutoring them in everything from conversational English to basic trigonometry. The sophomore noticed a significant collective improvement in the students over a short period of time.

Realizing her work didn’t need to be restricted to one orphanage or summer programs, she went on to found Literacy Spree.

Some of the participating universities that have agreed to accept ERA Uni-GAUGE scores include:

Karpagam University,

KL University at Guntur,

M S Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences,

Manav Rachna University at Faridabad,

Periyar Maniammai University,

Reva University,

Saveetha University,

Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya (SCSVM) University, and

Sri Devraj Urs University at Kolar.

According to the ERA Foundation CEO B N Subramanya and Sanjay Kulkarni, many more universities will soon be joining the Uni-GAUGE platform shortly. However, the participating universities will have complete autonomy on their admission process. Uni-GAUGE has a computer-aided assessment platform. It will help universities to access greater number of students across India, make use of a technology-enabled entrance test and separate their entrance evaluation and admission processes.

Students who have cleared their Class 12 board exams (or an equivalent examination recognised by the State or Central government) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics (depending on whether they are targeting medical and dental courses or engineering courses and English as a compulsory subject, can apply for the Era Uni-Gauge EMeD 2015 exam.

1. Pay careful attention to detail. In physics, chemistry and mathematics, all the topics should be covered and selective study should be avoided since the questions are of an objective type, as well as being large in number.

2. Be aware that the JEE syllabus of class 11th and 12th is up to 45% and 55% of the IIT JEE question papers.

3. Study these physics topics extensively: Fluids, Waves and Sound, Electromagnetic Induction, Capacitors and Electrostatics, Mechanics, Optics and Modern Physics.

4. Study these topics for chemistry: Co-ordination, Chemical equilibrium in Physical Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Thermodynamics, Quantitative Analysis, Chemical bonding in Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.

5. Study these topics for mathematics: Complex numbers, Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola in Co-ordinate Geometry, Probability, Limits, Vectors, Matrices in Algebra, Functions, differentiability, Definite Integral in calculus and Application of Derivatives. 

6. Prepare yourselves mentally for IIT-JEE. "The success is to be achieved", keeping this in mind the aspirants must accept themselves as deserving candidates for JEE success because during preparation confidence plays an important role.

7. Do continuous effort. IIT-JEE preparation requires continuous effort. Each subject must be given proper and regular time. Instead of preparing one subject for some days then other subjects, all the three subjects (Physics, Chemistry and (Mathematics) must be given time each day. It also helps in breaking monotony.

* Start your IIT JEE preparation with Class XII textbooks that you have. You can also refer to NCERT books that are prepared by many subject experts and are quite economical too.

* Beware of using too many reference books. Askiitians has a list of important IIT JEE preparation books that you can use for reference. Use the ones that cover maximum syllabus and suit your learning style. * It can help you to score more by indexing topics in order of priority or weightage they carry in JEE Main and Class XII board exams. * Grill yourself into the basics until all your fundamentals are very clear as JEE Main is specifically designed to test how well students have grasped the topics and how they apply them to a given set of problems. * Revise, practice using previous year papers of IIT JEE, check solutions from solved papers, seek help where needed and revise and practice again. * Last minute IIT study tips often suggest students to try the IIT JEE paper of last three years. * Time management is an important factor in JEE Main. So, while solving model JEE question papers, keep an eye on your watch too. If solving a* question is taking too much time, move on.

How to prepare for JEE Advanced?

Students are shortlisted for IITs based on their marks in Class XII board exams as well as JEE Main. While JEE Advance is based on CBSE syllabus, there are a few topics in Mathematics and Physics that you do not need to cover for IIT JEE preparation

Mathematics topics you do not need to cover: Mathematical Induction, Statistics, Linear Inequality and Mathematical Reasoning.

Physics topics you do not need to cover: Magnetism & Matter, Electromagnetic Waves, Electronic Devices (Solids and Semiconductors), and Principles of Communication Systems.

To crack JEE Advance, students need a strong understanding of concepts and skills to solve numericals that need good aptitude and have lengthy calculations.

Students should solve short-answer questions, subjective-type problems and questions based on assertion reasoning to develop deep understanding of the subject as well as multiple-choice type questions to build up speed and accuracy.

Important topics you should cover for JEE Advanced are:

Physics: Mechanics and Electrodynamics are the two most important topics but one should also devote time to Heat, Thermodynamics, Optics and Modern Physics.

Chemistry: General principles of Organic Chemistry are easy to understand. Numericals of Physical Chemistry are scoring. Inorganic Chemistry has many facts and figures and requires constant revision.

Mathematics: Master inter-relationship between various topics. Coordinate Geometry and Vectors can help one to solve problems related to complex numbers. Permutation and Combinations help you to solve problems of Probability. Trigonometry and Calculus again help one to solve all types of problems.

How to study for IIT JEE 2015

Before worrying about how to prepare for IIT JEE 2015, you must prepare for your Class XII board exams well. You can also buy a set of NCERT books to begin with and make sure that you really understand all the concepts clearly.

The second step is to practice JEE papers, analyze your strengths and weaknesses topic-wise, and work on them accordingly.

Askiitians offers a facility where you can opt for an IIT JEE test series and get a detailed topic-wise report of where you have gained sufficient mastery and where you need to pay more attention. This report also includes recommendations on how to study for IIT JEE 2014.

IIT JEE preparation plan for you

A customized plan for IIT exam preparation can go a long way in scoring good marks. Askiitian experts can help students to make an IIT JEE preparation plan that considers your daily schedule, preferred study timings, subjects and topics where you need to pay more attention and devote more time, and number of days before the exam you have for preparation and revision.

You can design your study plan by keeping these points in mind too. Don’t forget to allot some time for recreation and exercise too. And at least six hours of sleep!

How to prepare for IIT JEE at home?

Resources and tools are important for any student to learn something. So, if you want to study at home, you should get appropriate books for IIT preparation.  Besides mastering school books, you need to go through reference books and solve as many JEE model papers as you can.

IIT preparation material that you use must have a set of previous IIT JEE papers as well as AIEEE papers. These papers are incredibly important to learn where you actually stand in terms of your IIT preparation. You can also learn time management by solving these papers.

Never hesitate to approach teachers, subject experts or knowledgeable people within your reach to clear doubts. There is no such thing as a ‘stupid question’ when it comes to preparation for IIT.

So if you want to become a successful student, don't get discouraged, don't give up, just work to develop each of the study habits below and you're see your grades go up, your knowledge increase and your ability to learn and assimilate information improve.

1. Don't try cram all your studying into one session. Successful students typically space their work out over shorter periods of time and rarely try to cram all of their studying into just one or two sessions. If you want to become a successful student then you need to learn to be consistent in your studies and to have regular, yet shorter, study periods. 2. Plan when you're going to study. Successful students schedule specific times throughout the week when they are going to complete their studying -- and then they stick with their schedule. Students who study sporadically and whimsically typically do not perform as well as students who have a set study schedule. 3. Study at the same time. Not only is it important that you plan when you're going to study but that you also create a consistent, daily study routine. When you study at the same time each day and each week you're studying will become a regular part of your life. You'll be mentally and emotionally more prepared for each study session and each study session will become more productive. 4. Each study time should have a specific goal. Simplifying studying without direction is not effective. You need to know exactly what you need to accomplish during each study session. Before you start studying set a study session goal that supports your overall academic goal (i.e. memorize 30 vocabulary words in order to ace the vocabulary section on an upcoming Spanish test.) 5. Never procrastinate your planned study session. Its very easy, and common, to put off your study session because of lack of interest in the subject, because you have other things you need to get done first or just because the assignment is hard. Successful students DO NOT procrastinate studying. If you procrastinate your study session, your studying will become much less effective and you may get everything accomplished that you need to. Procrastination also leads to rushing, and rushing is the number one cause of errors. 6. Start with the most difficult subject first. As your most difficult assignment or subject will require the most effort and mental energy you should start with it first. Once you've completed the most difficult work it will be much easy to complete the rest of your work. Believe it or not, starting with the most difficult work will greatly improve the effectiveness of your study sessions and your academic performance. 7. Always review your notes before starting an assignment. Obviously, before you can review your notes you must first have notes. Always make sure to take good notes in class. Before you start each study session and before you start a particular assignment review your notes thoroughly to make sure you know how to complete the assignment correctly. 8. Make sure you're not disturbed whiles you're studying When you're disturbed while you're studying you

Loose your train of thought and 

You get distracted -- both of which will lead to very ineffective studying. Before you start studying find a place where you won't be disturbed.

9. Use study groups effectively

Ever heard the phrase "two heads are better than one"? Well this can be especially true when it comes to studying. Working in groups enables you to

Get help from other students when you're struggling to understand a concept

Complete assignments more quickly, and 

Teach others whereby helping both the other student and yourselves to internalize the subject matter. 

However, study groups can become very ineffective if they're not structured and if groups members come unprepared. Effective students use study groups effectively.

10. Review your notes, school work and other class materials over the weekend.

Successful students review what they've learned during the week over the weekend. This way they're well prepared to continue learning new concepts at the beginning of each week that build upon previous coursework and knowledge acquired the previous week.

Know the syllabus clearly: Follow your class lessons properly to cover your syllabus in a systematic manner. The class lessons are probably the first introduction of the topics to you. After coming home, revise whatever is taught in the class, as the topics will be still fresh in mind. In case of confusion, clarify with your teacher the next day.

Solve questions: Try and solve the questions at the end of each topic and also the last ten years' papers. If you are stuck, make sure you have it resolved by the next day at the maximum. Take help from teachers and seniors, as needed.

Maintain separate notebooks for each subject: Jot down important notes and formulae that you come across during your studies. This will help before the exams as you can just grab the subject notebook and revise the portions you want.

Highlight important points: Highlight important points and formulae on textbooks and reference books to locate them easily. Revise the points as and when you get time.

Plan your studies: Chalk out a time table for board exam preparation and allocate ample time for each subject. Choose the time that you think is best for study. It can be early in the morning or late at night. Do not allow distractions to mar your studies. Select a study space that you feel is most suitable and convenient.

Know your strengths and weaknesses: Hone your strengths but do not ignore your weaknesses. Concentrate more to improve on them. Take guidance from your teachers.

Revise Well: Do not study anything new or from a new book right before exams, as you may get confused. Revise what you have studied and glance at important notes and formulae. Make note of important formulae and keep them handy so that you can take a look at them as an when you want. Make a weekly revision plan once you have completed the entire syllabus.

Keep fit: Eat healthy and take ample rest. Make sure you are also spending some time playing and re-energizing yourself.

Subject-wise tips

Physics

Get a grip on the fundamental concepts of the subject.

A major part of the exam contains direct formulae- and theorem-based questions. Therefore, revise them thoroughly to solve questions accurately.

Use the formulae and theorems extensively in solving various problems from last years’ papers and model papers.

Chemistry

The good news is this is a high-scoring subject, and also requires lesser time for preparation.

Speed and accuracy in solving different problems can be acquired through in-depth study of the subject and extensive practice.

Study the name reactions; make charts of formulae along with names and revise them as and when possible.

Biology

As the subject includes lots of diagrams, give special attention to important diagrams and their theory. Make sure you remember the important terms and their respective functions.

Biology involves learning and memorising difficult terminology. Write such terms repeatedly so as to get acquainted with them.

Get thorough with the important definitions as the subject is mostly theory.

Mathematics

Mathematics is a high-scoring subject once you are clear with the concepts. Do not fear it; instead, start practicing. You will see that you will slowly develop interest.

Calculations can be lengthy and time-consuming. Practice a lot to acquire both speed and accuracy, as it is the one and only trick to attain a high score in the subject.

Beware of the silly mistakes that you often make.

Jot down important formulae and tables that you need to memorise. Keep them handy so that you can glance at them whenever you want.

Practice common square root and cube root problems so that you can quickly solve the questions during the exam.

History

This subject contains facts as recorded by historians. So, the only mantra is to read, memorise and remember important events, names, periods and dates of different historical occurrences.

Study, revise and answer questions from time to time.

Geography

Practice map-pointing a lot.

Problems on latitude and longitude, among others, are quite high-scoring. Practice extensively to master them.

On Your Exam Day

Reach the examination hall a little earlier. Ensure that you have the important documents such as admit card, pen, pencil, etc., with you. Locate your seat and settle down comfortably, keeping everything in place.

Read the questions carefully, as any silly mistake of understanding the question can be damaging.

After you get the question paper, spend five minutes to glance through it. It is better to solve those questions that you are more confident with, instead of wasting time with the difficult ones.

Do not waste time if you get stuck with a question. Move forward with the others. Once the easier and moderate ones are done with, attempt the relatively tougher ones if you have the time.

Revise the paper carefully, provided time permits.

Some Recommended Books

CBSE Books

PAPER PATTERN:

There are 25 questions in total along with proper marks distribution for each section as stated under. The below is the pattern followed in the CBSE Class 12th Accountancy 2013 Paper.

Section A (60 marks): It consists of 18 questions each of individual markings for each question. This is a compulsory section. Section B (20 marks): It consists of 7 questions each of individual markings for each question. Section C (20 marks): It consists of 7 questions each of individual markings for each question.

An option for opting between Section B and C is provided. Students can opt for either of the two sections.

TIPS:

Revise all the notes, descriptions and formula’s learned by you all through the year. Memorize only the crisp definitions along with its explanation.

Attempt questions on Company Accounts, Cash Flow Statements and Partnership first as they carry 60 % weightage of the paper.

Care is needed while calculating these numerical, as a small mistake of figures can lead to loss of marks.

In case of journals, draw a proper format and then write the narrations for better understanding. Also follow the illustration given and deduce a method for Ratio Analysis.

Find for new questions on the similar context from Previous Year Question paper, Sample paper and other Model test paper.

Always time yourself while answering the sample papers as it will help you manage time during the exam.

As it is the Last Moment try to revise a topic for not more than 2 times; as revising a topic which you understand less might take the toll of time for your other topics.

Try and finish chapters which you find easy to understand as it will boost your confidence.

Practice the syllabus as prescribed by the CBSE from NCERT Books. CBSE board exam question papers are completely based on the syllabus provided.

Extra Questions are available through refresher books like CS Grewal for Double Entry Book Keeping. Refer them only after when you are finished with your syllabus.

Let us see some measures by adopting which, a student can increase his marks in the board exam.:>>>>

Try to study on a regular basis and do not leave it too late for completing your syllabus

Complete your project, activity and other practical work as early as possible, so that you can get proper time to complete your syllabus on time

Give special emphasis on those subjects in which you are weaker

Special attention should be given on revising those chapters which you have already completed

In subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, solve 5-10 question daily to attain constancy in your preparation

Try to finish easier chapters in which you are more comfortable. It will boost your confidence

Do NOT study at late night. It is not going to help your body. Instead sleep as early as possible and wake up early in the morning. In morning you will find it easier in learning your chapters

Do NOT take undue pressure or stress on your mind. It is only going to harm you

Read NCERT books regularly. CBSE board exam question papers are completely based on this book.

Do not neglect the diagrams of Biology book or they can tease you in the examination

Take balanced diet and try to remain healthy

Take regular breaks during your study

Try to complete your syllabus till January and dedicate February in doing revision work of various subjects. CBSE generally conducts board exam in the month of March.

Leave those chapters which you are unable to memorise. It’s better to become master of one chapter than becoming slave of all. Wasting much time on a single chapter in last days is not wise. In board exam, each chapter generally carries 4-5 marks on an average.
