Achievers’ take
Shreya Singh
I used books for smart study and didn’t refer question banks. I didn’t go for everything. I was internee from January this year and my exam was in May. So, I was studying even at my job. I think this achievement is due to the combined effort of entire LNCT Group.
The group provides an atmosphere and culture that helps students not only to study and excel in university exams but also to become a better person to face the outside world. I will like to share that there is a toppers group board near reception of college. Whenever I use to see it, I would say to myself that I want to see my name there. And today, my name is there. Our college not only understands student’s needs but also the changing trends of corporate world.
Anshuman Mishra
I watched all videos related to NPTEL exam preparation. It covered all the key points. We submitted all assignments very seriously and if we had any doubt, we consulted our faculty. I would like to tell the students present here that they must dream but divide their dream in small parts and study stepwise. It we study step by step, we will definitely get success.
Swaraj Kumar Bhatnagar
I started preparation from acronym videos at my home after college. It provided weekly lectures and videos as well as weekly assignments and quizzes. Our results are an outcome of two month’s hard work. My message to students is that they should solve assignment questions carefully. They should also solve programming assignments themselves. It is important to understand the concept and then to implement it.
Nitin Pathak
I watched videos related to my course many times over to clear certain points. I also submitted all assignments. If I faced any problem, I used to search its solution on internet. I also solved assignments through different websites related to the topics I used to revise all assignments a day before exam and it benefited me a lot. It also helped in maintaining the flow of study.
Prateek Twiari
I won bronze in throwball. I used to study at night and play during daytime. During exam I took a break from practice and focussed only on studies. Later I focussed on sports tournament or camps. I started playing throw ball with friends at Arera colony and then got success in selection trials. I received immense support from our sports officer at LNCT, Pankaj Jain sir . He motivates us a lot. I want to make career in sports and bring gold for the country. I am also doing a certification course in Linux operating system.
Arpit Sharaf
There is no substitute for hard work. You have to work hard to achieve your goal. I used to play baseball since childhood. I find myself lucky that I could continue it till college due to huge support of our coach Pankaj Jain sir who is an international baseball umpire. He guides us very well. I have participated in many national and international level tournaments. I earned a bronze medal in baseball tournament, held in Malaysia in October last.
