College life is a whole new world so you need to follow the advice of seniors to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes they did. Here are some tips you can follow that will help you set your priorities right

• Attend the classes and pay attention right from the first day. One cannot underestimate the knowledge you gain by attending the classes and the time you end up saving. Make sure to get a high CGPA in the first year as it’s easy.
• Follow the 75% attendance rule religiously and only skip classes that are not very important and won’t get you detained.
• Socialize with your peers and seniors instead of starting holed up in your room. Discuss everything with your roommates and develop strong bonds with them. 
• NIT Kurukshetra is a ragging-free campus so you can approach your seniors easily for assistance.
• Explore your non-academic passions too. A number of clubs promote dancing, singing, instrumental music, sports, yoga, dramatics, etc. Be a part of at least one and pursue your passion.
• Participate in organizing fests as it will help inculcate managerial skills. Particulate in the college fests and showcase your talents. They are a great platform for learning and building confidence.
• Involve in some sort of physical activity every day to maintain good physical health.

Hope the above tips will help you!
