Some helpful tips for first-year students at IIT Roorkee are
Make your friends wisely after judging people enough as they are an important part of your college life
Don’t take the 1st-year lightly. Work the best you can and explore everything to find your passion.
Join at least 2 clubs to ensure maximum exposure. Pay attention to the advice of only 4th year students.
Develop good relations with everybody in general as all your batchmates are going to be successful people one day and you need to have strong connections.
Don’t stay holed up in your room, go and explore the world outside after classes. You can go to sports, library research labs, etc. Try not to spend your evening inside your room.
Gain self-confidence and manage your own matters well whether it is going to the bank, canteen, mess, or even to a professor.
It’s okay to study at the last minute provided that you were regular to classes and had maintained notes and reviewed them regularly. A good CGPA of around 8 will fetch you good opportunities during placements.
Take care of your physical as well as mental health because health is wealth, especially for a student.
Don’t adopt bad habits that might hinder your learning process.
Lastly, stay away from negative people and negativity in general. Don’t let anyone crush your confidence level.
All these will help you grow as a person and focus on much more than just academics.
