Five Tips to Save Money While on a College Budget

175Wed, 05 Oct 2022 06:17:24 +0530 Track2Training

The process of figuring out how to save money while attending college is a prudent decision to make. There are a few things students can do to improve their financial health and limit the amount of debt they acquire while pursuing their education without having to cut out the use of a professional essay writing service. While the thought of amassing a significant amount of debt is enough to deter many people from ever attending college, it is not impossible to do so.

Here are some recommendations for cutting costs throughout a person’s time as a student.

1. Use Student Discounts

One of the most significant advantages of being a student is a student ID card. This card not only entitles students to discounts at a wide variety of retail outlets, restaurants, and cultural organizations, but it may also offer them significant savings on technology-related items. If students know how to maximize the use of their discounts, they may save a substantial amount of money.

2. Take On Side Jobs

Taking up one or two additional jobs in addition to education is a great way to save money while in college. Even though students will probably be reading textbooks most of the time, they can probably afford to work an additional 15-20 hours per week to supplement their income and help pay for a custom essay writing service.

Here are some ideas for students to try.

Clients from all around the world employ virtual assistants online to help them manage their daily lives. Primarily, this is responding to emails, making travel arrangements, and setting up schedules—all tasks that may be performed around a student’s schedule.

Another money-making opportunity involves doing what you do for your classes anyway. Students who weren’t exceptionally attentive during lectures at the semester’s conclusion find themselves needing lecture notes. By selling lecture notes to them directly or through an educational platform, students have the chance to earn a little money.

3. Share Living Space

Living in a shared home or apartment, as opposed to living alone while attending college, is among the most effective ways to cut costs and save money. Students may save a large amount of money each month by paying a portion of the rent with a group of people rather than paying it all by themselves. Additionally, they will be able to divide the costs of any shared furnishings and the energy bills, resulting in a monthly savings of even more money each month.

4. Restore Possessions Rather than Replace

Taking care of things they currently own is an excellent way for students to cut costs and save money. Put a little more work into restoring things so students can keep using them for a longer period of time rather than tossing them out as soon as they show any evidence of wear and tear. Because of this, students won’t needlessly spend money on new products when the ones they already have are perfectly good and still functional.

5. Follow a Minimalist Lifestyle

When it comes to lowering educational expenses and increasing overall savings, less is more. In addition to this, adopting a minimalist mentality might work wonders for a student’s financial situation. To give it a simpler explanation, living a minimalist lifestyle implies having fewer possessions overall.

Students with a minimalist mindset don’t get sucked into the traps of a materialistic culture that attempts to convince them that they need to own more belongings to be happy. Instead, they only purchase the really necessary items, and they don’t buy anything else.

It is far more likely that students will spend less money if they shop with more focus since they will become aware of the fact that many of the goods they thought they “needed” are not actually necessary in any way.

FULL ACADEMIC FEES?

175Wed, 05 Aug 2020 11:17:40 +0530 Shanaia Colaco

Corona!Corona!Corona! Well, you know who else is taking full advantage during this pandemic? Of course our government. First I thought the increase in petrol and diesel prices was due to people not abiding by the rules and taking this pandemic lightly and the government has taken a wise step by increasing the prices. And yes! I was wrong…not surprising, right?

-The Education system especially globally is also responsible for making the poor people poorer and the rich people richer. Providing education should be free right? But the government does charge fees. There’s nothing wrong here but during this pandemic instead of getting together and doing everything that they can in the field of education, they charge full fees? Har cheez ki haad hoti hai(everything has its limits).

-Not only the students are being forced to pay full fees but also the teachers are getting 50% or less salary. Why is this happening?

-During this pandemic, more than 10 crore people will be unemployed, out of 5 every 2 employees are facing a cut in the salary(this was found out in a survey) 5. 31% are confident they’ll find a new job soon

How will you manage finances after a job loss?

E-learning: A boon or bane?

1815Mon, 15 Jun 2020 23:18:50 +0530 Ekanika

E-learning, which literally means, ‘electronic’ learning has received a sudden market-boost since the coronavirus outbreak. Digitalisation has been ongoing for quite some time, but the pandemic seems to have heralded it.

The digital coaching institutes which were earlier restricted to a few brand names, have now grown into a vast network. Many regular educational institutions have switched to e-learning temporarily. But is online learning reliable as a permanent source of knowledge? Are we ready to modernise our system, or is e-learning not a substitute for traditional classrooms?

Let’s find out.

Schools offer twin development commitment: Academic and Characteristic. While e-learning modifies the pedagogy and makes learning more visual and digitally enabled, the students somehow miss out on social interactions and collaborative activities. It doesn’t seem to be very convincing on the characteristic development front of a student. Yet, it has an edge over traditional classrooms. How?

Let’s break this down into boons and banes of online learning.

Boons

Anything you need to learn is a search away-

The beauty of digital learning is that anyone can learn anything, at any place. There are no boundaries or restrictions. Every curiosity of yours has an answer.

Less resource input and economically feasible –

For online learning, a physical set up of a classroom is not required. This makes the platform open for any teacher or even an ordinary person who wishes to teach. With less input cost, the cost of education ultimately lowers.

Certificate and skill courses for better employment opportunities-

Digitally you can pursue any course of your interest at any time, regardless of your age. When qualifications become a barrier in your professional life, you can always have a chance to enhance them digitally, even when it’s not possible physically.

Flexible study timings-

Flexible timings make e-learning accessible for everyone according to their routine, which ensures seamless learning.

Real-time interactive classes-

Live classes assure a healthy interaction between the tutor and the learner. Any query or confusion could be put up by the student without any embarrassment or fear.

Reduced school crimes-

Crimes we often hear about like sexual harassment, physical harassment, bullying, body shaming by seniors, teachers or classmates would be reduced to their minimal.

With no physical interaction, it would be almost impossible for these crimes to emerge if the student has the right cyber knowledge.

Banes

Social ineffectiveness – When classrooms enter a room and are confined to a mobile screen, the student doesn’t get to interact with anyone physically. Gradually when they move out, they’d realise how the world is more nerve racking than their bedrooms. Social infectiveness would be a major impediment in not only their professional life but also in regular living.

Unskilled scholars- As weird as it sounds, if we enforce a digital system permanently, we’d soon be producing dumb-scholars, with no team working skills, extra curricular abilities, patience and communication skills. That would be like hatching a scholar chick out of his/her house who is in fact a grown up chicken and needs to live like one.

Unpunctuality and lethargy- With everything served in their rooms and no one to keep a surveillance on, the learners would be rather lethargic and slothful. Their work would be left incomplete and if they do it, it would be done at the eleventh hour. They’d lose the value of knowledge if everything is readily available.

Taking notes or making notes

0313Sat, 13 Jun 2020 18:03:26 +0530 arpitakarmakar030615

Do you remember when we were kids our parents always instruct us one stuff write down all the tasks that teacher taught during class. That written down task is called Notes. During school, college, and even in professional life notes taking a very important part. Especially when we are student notes are like our life Savior before the exam. I think approx Every student faced this situation one time in life 1 Or 2days before the exam we tried to read books, but there are so many things written, we don’t have enough time to read at that time we take the help of notes. For me, notes are like searching for keywords.

1.We take note when we attending lectures, classes, or meetings, we are listening about so many topics, matter. If we write down some important points issues from the lectures it helps us to identify the key ideas, the structure of the presentations.

2.organized notes also make it easier for us to link classroom learning to textbook readings.

4. Engage our minds. Note-taking keeps our body active and involved and helps us avoid feelings of drowsiness or distraction.

***Farhan, Rancho, Raju should take notes 😆😆😆😆***

Note-making is very important as it involves us in the learning process. And whenever we read something we have to write down important points as we cannot hold them on the mind.
Making notes allows us to reduce the information into a manageable size.
when we make notes we try to describe the thing with our own words, it’s helpful to think and understand the subject.

Taking notes and making notes both are equally important in the process of learning

So listen, understand, write, and grow your knowledge.

Commercialization of Education

0310Wed, 10 Jun 2020 23:03:21 +0530 Harshita

Back in the 90s, getting 60 percent on your boards meant having a party in the whole neighborhood; it was a celebration. Today, even 95 percent is not enough to secure your admission in the college and course of your choice. So, what changed during all these years? Not the NCERTs for sure.

India is fast becoming a country where education is just another commodity. With everyone obsessing over education and paying any amount of money to get the best, the real essence of education has been devalued. It is no longer a noble cause; it is a mere means for people to earn a profit, to scam others into paying for a basic necessity.

To educate someone means to impart that person the knowledge so that he or she can survive in society. But the commercialization of education has turned almost every institution into a business or a money-making factory, charging huge amounts for all the facilities that they provide. And the sad part of it all is that these facilities aren’t even required most of the time.

Today, every nook and corner has a new coaching institute being run by someone who is not even a professional of the field they are teaching or tutoring students in. As a result, most of the students going from schools to colleges are not using any prior knowledge from their formative years. Furthermore, the students passing out of colleges are not ready to be employed right away. Yet they are being employed, many even as teachers. A teacher is a pillar of a child’s future, but what will happen if the teacher himself fails to build a strong foundation for his student’s life?

Another important parameter for quality education is having the right infrastructure. The environment of the place where you send your child to study matters a lot. As a student, it is important to keep in mind that nurture plays a huge role in the development of our minds and the correct environment is the first step towards nurturing the feeling of learning in our minds. Schools and colleges are spending way more on advertising their institutions and finding prospective customers in the name of students rather than spending that same money on improving the infrastructure and the facilities available for the students. The parents are falling prey to these lucrative ads, readily paying a huge amount of money to get their ward into the said institution, without even realizing that their hard-earned money will be used to catch other prey. Basically, they are being cheated in the name of education.

Instead of being the solution to a problem, education itself is becoming more of a problem. Even though the education industry is rising, it is lagging behind in fulfilling its social responsibility towards the society.

The education system has to improve, thereby improving the meaning of education. Providing education should no longer equate to just paying the fees. The youth has to be provided with quality education and the whole society has to work together to convey this message to the world.

206Sat, 06 Jun 2020 18:20:28 +0530 Divyanshi Chaudhary 1 Comment

The Do’s and DONT’s To become an “IAS OFFICER”

Union public service commission India’s central agency , abbreviated as UPSC ,conducts civil services examination annually and recruits selected candidates for as much as 24 posts .Getting into the Indian civil services is a major hallucination for lakhs of aspirants .Those already on the expedition along with them who choose to be an IAS officer some day are all in the same boat .

Upsc preparation is a well structured combination of hard work in the right direction and a tackling strategy contemporaneously. However, great deal of doubts along with girdled exaggerating myths can leave you enervated and astray.

Strategy Is Figuring out what not to do

The right kind of strategy is all you need to witness your aspirations .Let’s have a look into the do’s and don’t you need to follow if you are a serious aspiration. By the end of the article you will be able to take an analysis on your overall preparation additional to the road map directed !

SAY YES TO THESE DO’S TODAY

1) Syllabus , Question paper and mock test is must

Regular evaluations will help you keep a track of your weakness and progress at the same time .Indulge in quality discussions.
In an exam like the civil service mains, studying the syllabus is not the only important thing to do, How you write the exam is what counts the most. No matter how much you study prior to the exam, how skilfully you are writing the answers within three hours is what makes one topper and another failure. Hence having regular practice of essay/answer writing is highly necessary. Evaluate yourself before UPSC evaluates.

2) Prepare A Schedule / effective plan

Draw out a timetable for yourself, and the time table should be a realistic one.Do not make a timetable which needs more than 8 -10 hours of your day to dedicate to your IAS preparations depending on your capacity. Once you have decided on the amount of time you will put in everyday and what topics you will cover when, make sure you follow it everyday.

4) Revise more than you learn

Be wise ! Revise

When you plan your studies, make sure you have enough time on your agenda for a minimum of two revisions. Both general studies, as well as CSAT syllabus, should be reviewed twice – a week before the examination.Without revision,you cannot succeed in this exam.

Not solving sufficient practice papers and previous papers could affect their performance, too.Also, lack of consistent preparation, regular practice, and revision may impact their preparation process adversely.Spending time reading too many books may lead to confusionThough UPSC aspirants tend to consult various study material and books to prepare for different topics, going through too many books may create confusion and should be avoided.
UPSC syllabus is vast and candidates may need to refer multiple sources to cover it.
However, consulting too many books could be a waste of time. Instead, they should choose the right material/books and revise well.

4311Mon, 11 Nov 2019 17:43:57 +0530 Track2Training

You spend the time together, help each other, and learn how to deal with various life situations. One of the main purposes of education is to make you a part of society. Don’t stay all day long in your residence. Attend clubs, activities, and surround yourself with people. Find someone who shares your worldviews, passions, and hobbies. Diversify your grey weekdays.

Moreover, in most of the universities, participation in clubs and sports gives benefits in studying. And as we know, obtaining a new profession is that’s you’ve come for. The student’s life is the golden time. You don’t need to work; you have no serious responsibilities and duties. Your only worry is to pass exams and become the pride of your parents. However, many people successfully combine work with studying. But it requires a lot of effort. Sooner or later, you’ll need to sacrifice something.
