Competitive exams are a major source of stress for students, as they often determine career paths, academic opportunities, and future prospects. The pressure to perform, long preparation hours, and fear of failure can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and reduced focus.
Managing this stress requires time management, realistic goal-setting, regular breaks, and healthy coping strategies such as exercise, meditation, and peer support. Consistent preparation and self-care are just as important as hard work for achieving success.
