Students should make a time-table and accordingly follow the routine for better results. Of the 24 hours, a possible division could be 14:4:6, which suggests that students should devote 14 hours in a day for studies, four hours for ancillary works, and the rest 6 hours is for a good sleep between 10 PM to 4 AM or 11 PM to 5 AM, apart from the break hours.
"Even during our times, before the exams, we used to study for at least 14-15 hours a day. And the nap time and night sleep combined was somewhere around 4-5 hours, as per the schedule we had set. This (matric exam) is considered a student's first big step, so they should take the exams seriously. Hard work is the need of the hour and that is what will help them in moving forward in life," said the minister.
