What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NIT Jamshedpur?

One of my friends was an alumnus of this institute, in the batch of Civil Engineering (2009-2013). He once told me about some facts which I have listed below so that the students could find this beneficial.

• It is better not to listen to the senior students, who usually tell you to follow your dream and passion by neglecting the semester GPA. Yes, you must indeed follow your dream, but this idea is the worst ever. So, it will be best to keep a distance from such seniors.
• You should always keep in mind that CGPA matters a lot, so if anyone gives any time advice about the Education System of India, then it is better to ignore such advice.
• Well, the campus life is very cool in NIT Jamshedpur. So, you could utilize this by enhancing your communication skills (Both Verbal and written). Besides, you must look after their aptitude skills also.
• However, college life is completely associated with making new friends.

Thus, the most important thing is that never ask for any type of advice from the immediate senior students, as they especially give clueless guidance to confuse the juniors.
