Here are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at IIT Delhi

• Try to work harder than the bare minimum and don’t limit yourself to specific tasks only
• Attend your classes regularly. This will help you prepare for your exams with minimal effort.
• Maintain your CGPA well despite your seniors' advice that CG does not matter. In reality, it does matter especially to secure good roles and packages. Moreover, foreign universities consider your CG when selecting for higher education
• Alongside your academics, make sure you pursue your hobby or anything that gives you a break from your studies
• Explore every nook and corner of your college and interact with almost everybody. Avail of every opportunity that comes your way.

• Have a balanced diet and try to hit the gym
• Stay away from distractions and bad habits
• Interact with people with different personalities and mindsets to broaden your network
