Some Advises
Believe on yourself, whatever your result, CGPA is, you can always move forward, you can surely get
highest Grade from this Course.
Don’t Hesitate to ask question (inside or outside the classroom)
Try to maintain practice of keeping Note and save them
Be Serious from the very first
Try to get the maximum from first 3 Class test , you will be struck in Lab Test, Quiz, Project etc. at
the last part of Term..
Try to engage in some research work from this Level
