What causes stress and how to deal with it!!!

What causes it?
In the case of exam results time it may be: Pressure from parents and relatives to do well The need to get high grades to get on track for the career you really want (be it medicine, journalism or mechanics) Uncertainty on what to do next - "There are so many options, what if I make the wrong choice?" The whole process of everything changing in your life - friends and yourself maybe moving away, your daily and weekly structure will be totally different The thing to remember is that while all of these fears and concerns are completely natural (all your mates are probably feeling exactly the same whether they let on or not) if you are getting yourself really worked up you need to try and relax.
How do I deal with it?
If you are suffering from stress try some of the following ways to calm down and chill out: Try to make time for yourself away from work to wind down. For example relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to soothing music and shutting out the world for a while. Take time for your mind and body to relax. Methods can include reading, meditation and yoga. Take time to exercise. Regular and frequent exercise is a good stress reducer. Eat well, skipping meals will deplete your energy and leave you drained. Talk to your family and friends. Make time to see your mates, it will help you unwind and let you unburden any problems.

  2. The syllabi of the IIT-JEE is nearly the same as that of CBSE Board exams. The only difference lies in the approach. In IIT-JEE, stress is laid on a deep understanding of concepts and therefore a student is required to solve problems based on thorough understanding of the subject, while in the CBSE Board exams, stress is given on reproducing the facts. The best method of managing both is to be regular in classes and ensuring proper time management.
