Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 26: Ignite IAS Academy, one of Hyderabad's premier institutes for integrated IAS coaching, organized an empowering session titled "Exam Pe Charcha" featuring Sri Charan Lakkaraju, Founder & CEO of Student Tribe and a Forbes 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur. The event aimed to equip students with practical strategies to overcome exam stress, face life's challenges, and build resilience while pursuing academic excellence.

The auditorium at Ignite IAS was filled with eager students, all looking for ways to navigate the pressures of upcoming exams. Sri Charan Lakkaraju, known for his dynamic speaking style and relatable insights, encouraged students to shift their mindset about exams.
"Exams are not meant to break you; they're designed to shape you. It's not just about what you write on paper but about the clarity, focus, and discipline you develop along the way," he emphasized.
Tackling Exam Stress with Practical Solutions
During the session, Charan shared five key strategies to help students stay calm, focused, and motivated:
* Shift Your Mindset: "View exams as an opportunity to showcase what you've learned, not as a judgment of your worth."
* Structured Study Plans: Break down the syllabus into smaller, achievable goals and stick to a schedule that includes regular breaks.
* Mindfulness Practices: Simple exercises like deep breathing, meditation, and light physical activity can significantly reduce anxiety.
* Healthy Habits: Adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, and staying hydrated can boost cognitive performance and energy levels.
* Emotional Support: Students were reminded that seeking guidance from teachers, peers, or counselors is a strength, not a weakness.
Sri Charan Lakkaraju also encouraged students to embrace self-compassion, saying: "One exam cannot decide your future. What matters is your resilience and the ability to keep moving forward."
