Hyderabad: Welfare minister Adluri Laxman Kumar on Tuesday advised Intermediate students across Telangana to face their examinations with confidence as the tests begin statewide on Wednesday.
“An examination is not the end of your future…it is the beginning of a new start. If you set aside fear and cultivate self-confidence, success will follow you,” he said.
Describing the examinations as an important milestone, he urged students to remain calm and manage their time well inside the hall. “Self-confidence is your greatest weapon,” the minister told them.
He advised against last-minute cramming, stressing the importance of revision and composure. “Pressure should not dominate your thoughts. Opportunity should,” he said, adding parents play an equally vital role. “The encouragement you give is their greatest strength. Remember that their mental health is more important than results.”
The minister conveyed special wishes to students studying in SC Gurukuls, ST Gurukuls and colleges run under the Scheduled Castes development department. Under TGSWREIS, 14,267 first-year and 13,928 second-year students are appearing. Under TGTWREI, 7,468 first-year and 7,155 second-year students are taking the tests.
Colleges under SCDD have 4,643 first-year and 3,399 second-year students, totalling 8,042. Tribal Ashram Schools have 100 Intermediate students taking the examinations this year.
Expressing hope that every student secures strong results, he said, “The government stands with you. Your success will be a matter of pride not only for your family but for the state as well. Move forward with courage and achieve success.”
