Actions: Attend classes regularly, participate in discussions, study effectively, and seek help from professors or peers when needed.

* '''Mind Mapping''': Use mind maps to visually organize information. This can help with retention and understanding complex topics.

* '''Gamified Learning''': Incorporate game elements into study routines, such as quizzes or flashcards. This can make learning more engaging and fun.

* '''Digital Tools''': Explore apps like Notion or Trello for organizing notes and tasks. These tools can help streamline your workflow.

* '''Active Recall Techniques''': Instead of passively reviewing notes, try to recall information from memory. This can significantly improve retention.

* '''Interleaved Practice''': Mix different subjects or types of problems in a single study session. This approach can enhance problem-solving skills.

* '''Peer Teaching''': Form study groups where each member teaches a topic. Explaining concepts to others reinforces your understanding.

* '''Time Blocking''': Schedule specific blocks of time for different subjects or tasks, reducing procrastination and improving focus.

* '''Reflection Journals''': Keep a journal to reflect on what you've learned and how you can improve. This encourages self-awareness and growth.

* '''Meditation and Mindfulness''': Incorporate mindfulness practices to reduce stress and improve concentration, leading to better academic performance.

* '''Create a Reward System''': Set up a system where you reward yourself for achieving study goals. This can boost motivation and make studying more enjoyable.

='''Strategy 2: Enhancing awareness among students about I&E'''=

*'''Remote Work Tools:''' Develop tools that enhance productivity and collaboration for remote teams, like virtual office spaces or project management software.

~~'''Ignite'''~~ Students who start their project can get their ignition for their project where they find the components required, functioning of equipment and applications of the components to be used that they require. '''Inspire'''

Success and failure stories are present to make the students get their inspiration from the era the chooses to be an entrepreneur.

If any student has a doubt or question or any idea to be implemented can drop it here

Today the world became so handy due to social media. To have a very fast awareness regarding I&E we can get through this. On an average, every student has one account on at least one social networking sites.So through this awareness regarding I&E can be easily brought to limelight using social media.

=='''Strategy 3: Implementing practical sessions for students'''==

'''Conducting Workshops  '''

Students are the future.  Although they have learning capacity they lack practical skills.  Students learn basics in academics whereas they can implement that knowledge when they are provided with practical sessions.  Apart from academics, there is so much to learn which can be known when they attend classes outside the classroom which is our workshop.  Workshops not only provide extra knowledge, they also help students implement that knowledge.  Many colleges have been conducting workshops to help students meet the knowledge to survive in industries.  On the survey, it has been shown that details of workshops are not provided with students regularly.  Presently, the awareness regarding workshops is provided using the traditional way of communication.  It is neither fast nor effective.  Hence there is a need for providing students with the whole information at a place. Creating website is the best solution as it provides the student with the knowledge of workshops around him in a single place.  Students themselves should conduct workshops or practical sessions among them as it is the best way of sharing knowledge.  As a student may or may not know the thing that other know this helps students to share knowledge fastly and efficiently.

'''Introducing online lectures  '''

'''Introducing classes that are out of curriculum  '''

The main focus of present education system is to provide basic to the some of the subjects that help the student to attend his interview.  If the same system persists everyone learns the same stuff as it shows no difference between one another.  To learn such stuff the classes that are not in curriculum need to be conducted.  It not only helps in identifying student uniquely but also makes him ready with the advanced subjects in his mind so that he can implement it and explore new things regarding it.  One day it may make him as a scientist.

'''Showing the work in past  '''

Most of the ideas in this world come from copying.  Many scientists who made great inventions followed some other scientists.  That is many of them enhanced the work done by others.  Edison found the bulb.  But the same idea is enhanced in different ways to produce different kinds of light facilitating devices.  The computer was invented but it is the source for many devices that we are in love with now.  That is why there is a need for every student to have an idea of past works and their prototypes as it not only makes think him but also motivates him.  ~~'''Publishing research documents  '''~~ Research is not only the process of finding mistakes in current trends but it also helps in creating new ideas.  In this approach ideas of students are encouraged and shared among different scholars.  They enhance them and republish them.  With this iterative process, the ideas are enhanced.  This is the best platform for every student to utilize.  ~~'''Introducing Internship culture  '''~~ The internship is the best option for every student to do as it helps students work in industries not only for money but also to gain some experience.  It is the best opportunity as the student can work on industries without any previous experience.  It makes him fit to work in industries as he completes his education.  ~~'''Industrial tours '''~~ Industrial tours help students to explore every nook and corner in industry.  It helps students to observe business tricks,  requirements of surviving in industry,  Precautions to be done to solve the problems faced while working in some industry.  ~~='''Strategy 4: To improve the trust in student Ideas'''=~~

== '''Strategy 4: To improve the trust in student Ideas''' ==

Trust is the glue of life. It is essential for all communications and to build strong relationships. To win the trust of management, the students initially have to add weight to their assumptions. For this problem, the solution is implementing the ‘Thinker club’.

='''Strategy 9: Leader ship circle'''=

5)Conducting study and review sessions

On average, a teaching assistant is required to work about 20 hours per week; a commitment that is certainly manageable, especially as the work helps to prepare fot their future career. Just remember, it's very easy to find working well beyond the planned 20 hours each week. Class prep takes time. Student questions absorb more time. During busy times of the semester, like midterms and finals, they might find themselves putting in many hours--so much so that teaching can threaten to interfere with their own education. Balancing their needs with those of their students is a challenge. If they plan to pursue an academic career, testing the waters as a teaching assistant can prove to be an invaluable learning experience where they can gain some practical on-the-job skills. Even if their career path will take you beyond the ivory tower, the position can still be excellent way to pay their way through grad school, develop leadership skills and get some great experience

5)Assessment and Record Keeping

~~'''Mentorship '''~~

The knowledge, advice, and resources a mentor shares depend on the format and goals of a specific mentoring relationship. A mentor may share with a mentee, information about his or her own career path, as well as provide guidance, motivation, emotional support, and role modelling. A mentor may help with exploring careers, setting goals, developing contacts, and identifying resources. The mentor role may change as the needs of the mentee change. Some mentoring relationships are part of structured programs that have specific expectations and guidelines: others are more informal.

The concept of mentoring is simple, but successful implementation can be challenging.A document on disability issues posted by the American Psychological Association lists characteristics of effective mentoring to include, the ability and willingness to

~~1) Value the mentee as a person.~~

~~2) Develop mutual trust and respect.~~

~~3) Maintain confidentiality.~~

~~4) Listen both to what is being said and how it is being said.~~

~~5) Help the mentee solve his or her own problem, rather than give direction.~~

~~6) Focus on the mentee's development and resist the urge to produce a clone.~~
