Today, we often come across students committing suicide out of failure, depression or tension of exams. What do you have to say about this? Did you use any special techniques for stress management?

They should look at people who failed many times but never gave up and finally the achieved which millions of people couldn’t imagine about great example is scientist is Benjamin Franklin and many more to manage stress what is imp is to do regular work than to keep everything for last minute study, this will help you avoid stress during exams.
