Students have an issue, they feel that they are without fault and yet lack self-confidence. <\/p>
When a student gets questioned in class or some other place, if the answer is familiar enough, the problem comes when they can't answer because there exists a fear that what will happen if the answer is wrong. <\/p>
Also if student fail to take initiative, to volunteer even when they want to but every time someone steps up before themselves could convince and opportunity slips away, <\/p>
What should they do?<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Do hard things. Doing hard things breeds confidence.<\/p>
->Waking up at 5 am is hard. <\/p>
->Running first thing in the morning is hard.<\/p>
->Working on your business alone on a Saturday night is hard.<\/p>
->Quitting your job to pursue what makes you happier is hard.<\/p>
->Moving to a new place to find better friends is hard. <\/p>
->Deciding what you want to do with your life is hard. If you do these things, you will begin to develop self-esteem. <\/p>
Self-Esteem:- <\/i><\/b><\/p>
->Esteem is respect and admiration. <\/p>
->Self-esteem is respect and admiration for you. <\/p>
That\u2019s right; It means some think about themselves as awesome and not in some cruel way. We all know people like that and they are no fun.<\/p>
Most often, behind the aspect and underneath the layers, they are simply seeking acceptance. So, people need to start by getting their own approval without being dependent on someone.<\/p>
Understand that you have value.<\/p>
For a personal, True confidence is to know completely that they are able to rely on their strengths but not depending on others.<\/span><\/p>And also knowing they are in control of themselves,<\/p>Knowing about executing what you decided. <\/p>How to build confidence fast?<\/i><\/b><\/p>Start by doing hard things because it\u2019s the best way to build.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496848671847","data":"5938196ef2da8"}]

TOEFL and IELTS are both exams that test a students' general proficiency in English. Students are often in a dilemna as to attempt which exam. So here are a few factors that might help you in making the choice.<\/p>
1.Duration: The TOEFL exam will be for a duration of about 4 hours approximately. The IELTS exam on the other hand will roughly take you about 3 hours. Another thing to remember is that TOEFL is attempted fully on a single day. IELTS on the other hand will be usually divided into two slots which have to be attempted on different dates.<\/p>
As can be seen for the TOEFL exam you need a greater attention span as well as patience.<\/p>
2.Cost: A TOEFL exam has a fees of 170 USD in India. The IELTS exam is also priced similarly at around 170-175 USD.<\/p>
3.Scoring: In TOEFL you receive a score of 0-120. For IELTS, you have score bands of 0-9 where 9 is the highest band score possible.<\/p>
4.Acceptance:More universities recognize the TOEFL scores when compared to IELTS scores. Although this distinction has almost become obsolete, there are some universities which specifically ask for a TOEFL or IELTS score report.<\/p>
5.Content: Although both the exams consist of 4 sections-Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing, IELTS offers an academic option as well as a general test. Students are generally expected to attempt the academic test when applying for universities. The general test is usually for immigrants or people seeking employment.<\/p>
6.Format:There are slight nuances in the models of questions asked. For example ,in TOEFL exam as a part of integrated tasks you have to listen to a conversation or lecture. There is no such requirement for an integrated tasks in IELTS but you may be asked to incorporate information derived from a graphic or a short passage into your answer. <\/p>
Also for the TOEFL exam's listening section,one would just have to record his\/her answer. On the other hand for IELTS, this section will actually be conducted by an actual person who will ask you questions.<\/p>
Also in the writing section, for TOEFL, you are expected to type the answer whereas for IELTS, you have to write it.<\/p>
7.Dialects:TOEFL exam is generally based on American English as it is conducted by ETS(Education and Testing services). The IELTS exam is based on British English as it is conducted by the British Council. However it must be remembered that there is not much distinction between the two and also the fact that the evaluators are more concerned with your fluency and content rather than the dialect that you choose.<\/p>
So I hope that you can now make a wise choice. All the best...<\/p>

Most of us won't look twice at a manual scavenger, due to various reasons, social, economical, discriminatory, and even dehumanising. You just feel you're lucky that you don't have to do the job that they have to do, and frankly you should indeed be glad for that, the workers who depend on manual scavenging are often uneducated and support their family through various small jobs, including lowering themselves into sewers and putting their health at risk every now and then, just so our plumbing system works. In exchange, they make less than Rs. 500 per descent, they get insulted for doing the job nobody else would do, their children are discriminated against, and there are a few people that want to deny them their reservation rights, but that is a story for another time. <\/p>
Officially, Manual scavenging is illegal, but sadly there have been very little provisions to actually stop the need of manual scavenging to exist in the first place, and the scavengers themselves, with no other craft to turn to since nobody would hire them and the fact that they lack education, often find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, between a choice of going without a job or going back into scavenging. A choice I sincerely hope none of you reading this will ever have to face in your lives. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496833616566","data":"5937debad7faf"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496833618732","data":"

Every Classroom hold innumerable memories for us. We saw all kinds of people , but the most intresting ones of the lot were the back benchers and most silence people's are first benchers . Everyone would wonder what these last bench students s did, and why the teachers were always suspicious of them. Being a back bencher,I think it\u2019s because they couldn\u2019t handle the craziness of the back benchers and they cannot answer the questions raised by the backbenchers.<\/p>
Some crazy things that are done by the back benchers :<\/p>
Starting with how they get up and get ready , they get up just 10 minutes before our classes start running . At last they come to the class the reason explained by back benchers are very funny they use silly reasons simply 'bike puncture , bus late '. The reasons really make us laugh!<\/p>
You instinctively went to the back, even if the front seats were empty, sometimes they are forced to sit in the first benches.<\/p>
Sitting in backbenches and secretly listen to music at the back.<\/p>
Backbenchers almost always work on another subject\u2019s homework during a class timings like assignments.<\/p>
Only back benchers have the guts to fall asleep because the teacher couldn\u2019t see you.<\/p>
Only back benchers had the liberty to eat when classes are going on.<\/p>
All the teachers collectively thought that only backbenchers a were the naughty ones and have a good character.<\/p>
Comming to cheating in examination it was really a good adventure in opening slips and writing the answers .<\/p>
When a question is raised to the back benchers the answers given by them are really very comic that are not even related to the topic going on .<\/p>
They don't even have any idea about the syllabus and subjects of that semester .<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496824333382","data":"5937ba62a36b5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496824349533","data":"
Life of a first bencher: <\/p>
Starting from how they get up early in the morning and attend classes.They get up early in the Morning and they get hurry and tensed Weather they may miss a few minutes of class and they that may result in the decrease of the percentage .<\/p>
More over every class has a small group of the people who fight for reserving their seats in the first bench of the classroom.<\/p>
There is no bond in between those small group of people . They really fear and suffer for every simple problem. They get jealous very easily if other people answer a question raised in the middle of class . Internally they die if there friends get more marks .<\/p>
This jealously separates them from enjoying everything . They don't even spend time with friends in talking about their life style . They don't reveal their plans that how they study and how they move forward in the life. <\/p>
When teachers show more concentration on other people they suffer a lot . Simply they are leading a very hard life . They don't know what they are missing in name of enjoyment . <\/p>
These people never bunk classes .even needed they attend special classes even . <\/p>
They may get percentages but they don't how the society is growing .<\/p>
Great lines said by Dr.APJ Abdul Kaplan-The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom.\u201d <\/p>
They may know how to solve a problem in exam but they don't know how to solve a problem in the real life .local fights everything's bond between back benchers very strong . <\/p>
Simply a back bencher life is completely different from the first bencher.no one can enjoy their life as a backbencher .<\/p>
Thank you <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496825632830","data":"5937bf74484cf"}]
\"It was after watching Andala Rakshasi, that I decided to make films. The unconventional screenplay of that movie is what inspired me to start my journey is a film-maker,\" says Dileep Vaddadi, a 25 year old MBBS graduate, who directed the now trending short film Miduna. The short film, produced independently by Dileep, has an entire cast of students from Vizag and is a simple love story set in Vizag, with an unconventional screenplay. In just three days of its release on YouTube, the short film has garnered almost 55000 views.<\/p>
\"The story is simple, it's a typical tollywood love triangle but the music and the screenplay are what add to the appeal of the film,\" says Dileep, who also made two other short films earlier this year, adding, \"I worship Hanu Raghavapudi, the director of Andala Rakshasi and Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha, for his unique screenplay and that reflected a lot in this film.\"<\/p>
The movie, is about a girl named Miduna (played by Harika Varma) and a love triangle between two guys (played by Shiva and Chaitu). \"I drew inspiration from various experiences I've had in life and seen in my life to make this short film,\" explains Dileep (the one in the yellow shirt in the picture below), who is now planning on pursuing his post graduation in surgery.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496830038636","data":"5937d0ad2f556"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496830065688","data":"
Costing over Rs. 30000 to make, this film was shot in and around Vizag, with students from Gayathri Vidya Parishad and SIITAM playing various roles in this. \"Everyone involved is a student, except the sound engineer. In fact, I also learnt aspects of cinematography this time as I did a little of it in addition to acting and composing music for this,\" says Shiva, who had previously acted in another unreleased short film.<\/p>
And for Chaitu and Harika, both third year BBA students from GVP and SIITAM respectively, this was a unique experience as this gave them both an opportunity to showcase their acting skills. Having worked in two other short films before this, Chaitu, who plays the lead, says \"This film reaffirmed my interest in pursuing acting as I had to take up BBA because my family didn't want me to join acting school. After my BBA is done, I will definitely take up acting in a proper way.\"<\/p>
Harika Varma collaborated with Dileep earlier and says, \"I was never into acting but because I was always into compering at events in college, my friends always used to tell me to try acting. That's how I ended up acting in Dileep's earlier production, Flashback. I had a great time with him and now I collaborated with him again for this.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1496832250238","data":"S3tqcoYWC44"}]
Okay, so EAMCET is done and all students who got through the exam are now whiling away the last proper vacation of their lives and at the same time, are concerned about what college they will get into. We solved that problem by www.eamcetrank.com and now, we give students this cheat-sheet of what to watch out for while joining an engineering college.<\/p>
1. Labs and other Infrastructure:<\/b><\/p>
While every college has a lab, the quality of infrastructure in the labs matters a lot, whether the equipment is updated or not, whether there are proper safety systems in place or not. So do visit the college first and check out the labs to see for yourself what kind of quality exists there.<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496747146521","data":"
2. Library <\/b> <\/p>
It's a popular myth that engineering students don't usually go to libraries but trust us, college library can become your best friend in times of need. Most colleges have extensive collection of technical and non-technical books and it is worth a visit to the college library before joining to know what kind of books they have on hand; as most of the time, some of the books available in the college library aren't usually available elsewhere.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496747169215","data":"
3. Alumni <\/b> <\/p>
The reason students prefer some colleges over the others is because of the alumni, who went on to achieve greater heights in life based on the skills they acquired in college. Checking out alumni from the college website, contacting them and interacting with them about the benefits of that college actually helps.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496747191164","data":"
4. Placement opportunities <\/b><\/p>
Colleges go to great lengths to ensure their students get placed but some colleges specifically partner up with giants like google, Microsoft, etc, to provide the best opportunities to students right after college. So checking the college website for previous placement records and placement partners is a good option and is something every student should do before joining the college.<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496747228932","data":"
5. Sports, Activities and Clubs:<\/b><\/p>
College is a place for overall growth of an individual and a place for all round personality development. So check out what kind of clubs and activities the college has. Regardless of whether the activities are technical or non-technical, being involved in them promotes problem-solving and leadership skills at the very least. So whether it is a drama club or a literary club or something technical like IEEE, check them out beforehand and join them once you join that college. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496747264578","data":"
St. Peter's Engineering College, Medchal perfectly embodies the above qualities, with its students, infrastructure and their incredible sporting teams.

TOEFL is an acronym which stands for Test Of English As a Foreign Language. It is an exam conducted by ETS(Educational Testing Services) and tests your proficiency in English.

\"I was always interested in poetry, having been raised by a journalist father.
