Overcome the challenges of 1st year of Hostel Life

Overcome the challenges of 1st year of Hostel Life | IIT prof's tips

When students first leave home and start hostel life, they face a number of challenges.
In this video, I address three such important challenges:
* How to adjust to the new strange routine of hostel life?
* How to live and avoid comparing yourself with the super-achievers?
* How to deal with the loss of privacy?
I hope this video will help the freshers to get accustomed quickly to this new style of life, and build their career in a frame of mind.
This video is part of a KZfaq playlist where I give various general advice to students at different levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD):

HIGHLIGHT 1)Through trial and errors ,find personalised routine. 2)There will always be someone better or worse . 3)Checkout the progress daywise instead of comparing with others. 4)Slowly get accustomed to people.

Think about 10 years ahead. Try and find people on LinkedIn who passed 10 years ago. You still see all of them have regular jobs. Love the subject as in engineering, read journals, forever be a student. But please understand apart from IT not many true engineering jobs in core. So it's ok find the next best things and read your favourite subjects in free time. Don't forget to search for people

Sir I'm first year Bs-Ms student of IISER Kolkata...It's been one month here in IISER...I am scared and depressed about my academic efforts. I thoroughly follow the lectures and take my notes ..do the assignment and study what I suppose to . But after doing all this after such hectic 9 to 6 classes sacrificing co-curricular activities, I can't meet my expectations in the exams...while my batch mates after doing all the fun and other stuffs get better grades...I am feeling left-out ...can u tell what am I probably doing wrong and what I suppose to do now 😔?

@Prof_JC Жыл бұрын

I did the exact same mistake as you did in my 1st year. Please do not sacrifice all non-academic activities. Play a little, talk with your batchmates, and try to have a little fun. You will be surprised how much pressure gets offloaded from your brain just by having a little chat with some friends. If you just study all day long, your performance is bound to suffer.

Sir I really thank you for all your wonderful advises 😊 I see you as a student friendly and very loving❤️ teacher But some teachers give warnings to students(specially freshers )like ``After this you wont be smiling again``and' 'you need to be rusticated soon ' just on small mistakes like coming late to class, not arranging documents properly etc.. I know that being a teacher it is your responsibility to mantain proper discipline among students for that you need to be a bit strict but should it be to such a extent that it creates hatred inside a student. We even saw a example of this in famous movie "3 idiots" the guy who made drone and hoe he was treated by the principal As that's the reality that many students even use abusive languages for profs,teachers behind their back But Definitely 😊 all teachers are not like that they are very loving and caring I want to know jc sir views on that Also have you met such teachers Again thanking you for your amazing content and efforts you do for us 😊 😃

Sir, Very Good Morning to you . Now I'm in IITG. And this video is really insightful. I'm facing issues with my time table. Quizzes, labs, classes, tutorials all seems very hectic and I also understand only 50-60% of lectures in classes and not able to complete these lectures by slides or books on the same day and even after two days. Some lectures are looking really bad like professor doesn't give us time to read that slide. Sir How to cope up with this situation as our quizzes are coming this week. Again thank you sir for this video..

@Prof_JC Жыл бұрын

I have addressed this issue somewhat in my most recent video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idN-o8-Im5O4dqs.html ... However, there is no simple solution to the situation when the prof is finishing the slides at a furious pace. Actually, I had discussed the problem with using slides with someone who has done research on effective teaching methods: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrSjhdt1ur28h2w.html (But you watching this video is not going to change the prof's method!) The only thing you can do is to request the prof to share the slides with you beforehand so you can somehow keep pace in class later.
