Ladders in preparing for the Exam

According to the above mentioned units and exam topics candidates are recommended to plan their study time accordingly.  Careful attention and sufficient time must be given to each subject. Dividing the syllabus into small fragments will give candidates a chance to get themselves familiar with different topics.  Over exertion on any topic or subject is a strict no. If they do, they will find it hard to cope with other subjects and topics. It will adversely affect their concentration as well.

Choosing a place conducive for study is also very important; it should be free of all disturbance and hindrance. While studying or preparing for the entrance test, candidate’s attention and concentration should not divert to other things. Group study if done can be of great help. It gives a chance of brain storming and clearing doubts.

Along with the above methods and techniques, candidates should also monitor each other’s progress and keep a time frame for each topic. This activity will make them familiar with their strength and weaknesses, which they can improve.

    Hi Ankita ,
    The best part about hotel management is that students from all streams can pursue the career in hospitality as long as they are passionate about it.
    We live in a time where no profession or career is male or female dominated , hospitality industry gives equal opportunity to both FE(males), Like i said as long as you are passionate about hospitality you can expect to reach the peaks. all the best . Vasim
