Competitive exams like NEET & IIT – JEE are some of the toughest exams in our country, especially due to their vast syllabus, huge competition & the high stakes involved. And it is absolutely normal to feel stressed & anxious but one needs to understand that they are not alone in this journey. As a student one has to complete the whole syllabus within a limited time frame that too while attending & being involved in schools. And of course, a slight amount of stress is absolutely normal & even vital to keep one motivated & focused throughout the journey.
With so many years of hard work & dedication for exams, students compromise their sleep, family parties, outings with friends, social media etc. just to stay focused on their goals. But with this, they don’t realize that they are compromising their mental health which leads to depression and sometimes students even take very severe steps such as suicide. As of now only in Kota 22 students have taken their life within 8 months of this year, so one need to understand the importance of being mentally healthy & positive.
Why is it important to be mentally fit?
Students need to understand that a mind that is surrounded by anxiety, stress, peer pressure, confusion & fear cannot focus well. And focus is the ultimate key to clear NEET & IIT-JEE. So if you want to perform well in your exams then you need to be mentally positive for sure.
Here are some of the ways to ensure you stay mentally healthy during this challenging period –
- Take regular breaks – Exams like NEET & JEE require multiple hours of study, but studying continuously drains your mind & a drained mind yields no productivity. Therefore it is suggested to take small breaks in between your study time. Say for example after studying for 2 hours one should take a 5-10 minutes break to refresh their mind.
- Ensure proper sleep – A proper sleep of 7-8 hours is a must for each & every one. A good sleep is important for memory retention & improving concentration.
- Push the negativity away – While on your journey you will face too many challenges & you will also meet different types of people who will always try to demotivate you. So instead of focusing on them, one should always try to maintain distance from those kind of people. There will be days when you will feel low, during those times don’t keep yourself bottled, reach out to your friends, family members & anyone who eases you And always remember one thing, every aspirant faces challenges but your perspective & positivity can determine your outcome.
- Follow a healthy lifestyle – All of us have time to waste on our mobile phones (especially on social media ) but we start giving excuses when someone talks about doing yoga or So one needs to understand that it is recommended for students to do yoga, meditation or any other physical activity as they keep your mind calm, improve your concentration level & help to handle pressure in a much positive way.
- Pre-Plan your daily schedule – Planning is very important for achieving any goal in life & if you are aiming for exams such as NEET/ JEE then you need to plan your schedule in advance. Planning not only improves your productivity but it also helps you in checking your progress as well. But just planning without proper execution is nothing more than a waste of time, so one needs to stick to his/her planned schedule if one wants to achieve something in your life.
- Always set achievable/realistic goals – Rather than setting an unachievable or unrealistic goal one should always try to set achievable/realistic goals. You should also break down your syllabus into smaller parts so that one can cover them easily & it also helps in making the revision easier. You should also keep on revisiting your notes again and again as revision is the key to success.
- Always choose the best mentor- We all know how difficult & stressful it is to get a seat in a reputed medical college or an IIT/NIT. So during these stressful times, one requires a lot of assistance & guidance from teachers, family, friends and institutes. So choosing a reputed & good institute is very – very important as they have the power to make or break your future.
