HYDERABAD: It is that time of the year when students suffer from exams, not fever. Exams to most is a make-or-break litmus test. Irrespective of whether the student is burning midnight oil or not, the fact is that most of them become victims of stress-related issues as they are worried that they could lose out in the battle for academic excellence to their peers. Consequently, they become vulnerable on the day of reckoning, which is a tragic reality.
Recently Page Junior College in Hyderabad conducted a workshop to help students deal with stress. Recently, Nalanda Educational Institutions conducted an interactive session for its annual exam-bound students on ‘Stress Management’ in its premises. It was attended by over 200 students and guardians on Friday. A pep talk by Master Spirit Life coach and best-selling author Sheila Ram Mohan, who is also a popular NLP-K practitioner, cleared the apprehensions of students.
