Study Plan for the NERIST Entrance Exam

Students must possess a definite study plan. They must follow this always. Spending a little extra time with subjects they find difficult will help them understand the topics better. Apart from this they can also enrol themselves in coaching centres. Practising on model papers will be a good idea. They will get more confident at the exam time. Besides this, they will also learn how to manage their time. Students must understand how to manage their time as this will not only help them in their studies but also in their future. They also have the option to study by themselves. They can seek a calm place and study. They can also take some rest every hour or so. Studying constantly will lead to boredom. Apart from this, it will also increase stress. Take rest; relax a little and then study again. They will find that relaxing a little will do wonders for them to carry on their work.
