Speaking to the Free Press Journal about the event’s purpose, he explained, “The goal was to speak to the students before their upcoming exams, talk to them in general about how not to get worried, not to stress about marks and results all the time, and how to be sure of themselves and their abilities.”

Drawing from his personal experience, Mr. Birla shared practical study strategies “From what I remember, there are things like picking a favourite spot in your house to study, somewhere with the least disturbance and noise. It’s an area where you feel comfortable and don’t feel distracted.” He emphasised the importance of systematic preparation, suggesting students should “cover all the chapters, revise the key points at the end of every chapter, and then make your own notes for each chapter that will act as final points to read before the exam.”

When asked about his life mantra, Mr. Birla shared Warren Buffet’s philosophy, “Think of the top thing you want to do in life and forget about the last fifteen things. Focus only on the top five.” He added, “If you try to do ten things, you may be okay or above average in all ten, but you won’t be great in any of them. I prefer to concentrate on two or three things and give my undivided attention to making all of them perfect.”

Dr. Namrata Lavu Parab, Senior Manager, Academics at Birla Open Minds Education Pvt Ltd, took an hour with students on effective time management strategies in exams.

The session concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where the students could clear their doubts about the upcoming examinations.
