Dr Venkatesh Babu, Consultant Psychologist, Fortis Hospitals, Bangalore, said, “It’s that time of the year when both students and parents feel the heat of exam pressure. While competitive spirit to some extent may be healthy, but sometimes the balance tips, leaving both parents and their wards anxious and stressed. We wanted to help students combat exam anxiety and pressure through an interactive session. We also shared few tips and techniques with students to enhance their memory and concentration during exams. We hope this session will help them overcome exam fear and anxiety and they will come out with flying colours”.

This will help them develop a healthy attitude towards exams and also help them to study in a better and smarter way”.
