FROM FRESHERS TO FUTURE PROS

Mastering the college journey in India.

- Dr Supreena Narayanan

Living the college life in India is like walking on a tightrope. Indian students, with a dynamic education system, fierce peer pressure, and changing societal norms, have peculiar struggles and possibilities. College was never all about academics; it is an entirely human experience that defines careers, friendships, and identities. This ultimate guide will help you conquer college life, from freshers through to finishing with a career-ready CV. Here is how to make the best of these growing up years, Indian style.

Settling In The Campus

The first day of college, for most people, is an exhilarating mix of excitement and some nervousness. You step out of the familiar environment of school, and suddenly you have the freedom to do what you want. With Indian campuses busily progressing from less-featured and quaint setups to sprawling university assets, it is imperative to have an open-minded approach when you enter the new environment.

Build Fresh Connections: The best way to get by in university is to make new friends. Go to orientation sessions and look into clubs, sports teams, or societies that you want to be a part of. You can make lifelong friends in college and learn from people with different perspectives.

Take Help from Seniors: This is something we do in Indian colleges. They have a good idea of what the courses are like, how campus life is, and even internships. Creating a relationship with those ahead of you gives you wisdom and emotional support from behind the scenes.

Become Independent: College life is a whole fresh start from school. You have to manage your time, finances, and decisions on your own. Take hold of these new opportunities, but also take them as a chance to learn your academic and personal limits.
