A session was conducted on Study Skills and Time Management on 24th June 2023. Ms. Smita Pradhan, counsellor conducted the session for the identified gifted students. 15 students attended it.

• Objective : Since it was observed that many gifted students are under achievers or face the issue where it is potential VS ability for them. This leads to the pressure that gets built up and many of them are in a state of self doubt. Being gifted once they know the smart ways of handling their syllabus, it can increase their confidence, competence, and self-esteem. It can also reduce anxiety about tests and deadlines. By developing effective study skills, one can help learn techniques to study in a smarter way leaving more time for other things in your life.
