What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at Gujarat University?

One of my friends studied at Gujarat University. According to him, it offers you good academics and placements. Some tips that you can keep in mind while just beginning to lead your college life are mentioned below:

Consistency:

• There are going to be changed in your life as you move from school to college. You need to make a schedule, plan your goals and track your everyday tasks. 
• The key to achieving your goals is to be consistent and keep a track of it daily.

Choose your circle:

• It is not about having too many friends but be sure to have a tight circle where your growth is not hindered. 
• You can have many acquaintances that will build a good network for you. 

Groom yourself:

• A college is a place where you get ample opportunities to participate in different events, clubs, panels, and like. 
• It will act as a good chance for you to learn some skills and even communicate with many like minds as yourself. 

Study smart: 

• It is not always about marks but certainly, they matter. 
• If the placements depend on your CGPA score then you should take care of it. 
• You do not have to study for the sake of exams but gain knowledge on your subject too so that you can prove your expertise. 
• It will be one of the many things that will help you choose your career.

Lastly, you will have to make it a habit to make running notes while in class. It will help you with your writing practice that will prove to be useful in the exams. Students nowadays use devices a lot so their typing speed is usually better than their writing speed and it becomes an obstacle in the exam. You need to manage your time well so you do not have to skip the questions.
