SUGGESTIONS FOR ASPIRANTS
Advising the students on preparation, Shubham said that there is no shortcut to success. If you want to be a long race horse, then just work hard, but in a smart way. If you feel hopeless, give yourself some time and take a break.
“Set a goal to be successful. You should clearly know your goal. Sometimes success slips when you are at multipurposes. There are many job opportunities, especially for those studying statistics. There are possibilities in the government as well as the private sector. Family members also should not put the burden of their expectations on you. They should let you choose what you want,” he said.
