Naman’s advice to students:
“Never let negativity enter your mind! Many would say that a course is hard. Just remember that a course is hard or easy only based on your mentality. If you mentally consider that a course is brutal, it will be brutal, but if you have the mindset that ‘This course is challenging, but I will be able to crack it,’ you will, as our brain is capable of achieving that goal.”
