Tips for HSC Completed Students

In this section, I will share a few tips, and these tips will come in handy in the near future.

• Participate in different social and cultural work. If possible, collect a certificate of participation. Try to share your experience in English and Bengali magazines regarding involvement in these programs. To get a stipend in a developed country, these experiences will assist you.
• If you want to study abroad, make a plan for that. How will you complete your IELTS, what is your expected score, which country you would like to ask for a scholarship, all these questions are part of this plan. If you don’t have a proper plan, you will not be able to obtain a good result in IELTS.
• Keep yourself busy in both indoor and outdoor games like cricket, football, chess, badminton, carom, cycling, and many more. Thus you will remain fit and healthy.
