Twelve hours relaxation with adequate sleep is the success mantra to overcome the exam blues," advised a counsellor who eventually is the Deputy Commissioner of Bokaro!
Rai Mahimapat Ray shared his experiences with students of Ramrudra School, Chas on Thursday where he reached by trekking about 11 kms on his bicycle. Rai on Thursday morning rushed to the school to teach and motivate the students.
Rai, who has recently took charges as Bokaro DC, expressed his desire to teach the students when he was the chief guest of the inaugural session of a Science Exhibition at the school. Spearing time from his duty Rai took two classes of 9 and 10 standard students, satisfactorily replied to the students' queries. As expected, most of the students asked him how to clinch the Civil Services.
Given a success clue to the student, Rai urged to the students do not take exam as a burden. "Preparing for exams is basically an exercise in repetition. The more we read, the more we absorb. The more we write, the stronger our memory. Reading, writing, and memorising over and over again are the only means to perform better in exams," he said.
"It’s found that starting with the examination tension arises among students along with their parents, especially with mothers each and every year. First make a habit to be relaxed during the examination. Most of the students cut down on their sleep and food, and get into a desperate mode of study. These are likely to be dangerous. The human brain functions best when the mind is calm and the body is healthy," he went on.
Besides motivational lesson, Rai also taught History, English and other subjects to the students. Rai had ranked 77th in UPSC exam in 2011 and was also teaching earlier at a university.
