Problems faced by Students in Today’s Competitive Environment

A flower does not think of competing

With a flower next to it,

It just blooms!

This article is in concerned with the stress and burden on the students in today’s competitive world and the various problems they encounter in career selections even though they are sufficiently qualified. It’s true that competition motivates us and keeps us driven towards our goals however, the race of education to keep scoring well, no guarantee of jobs and employment, lack of support from parents and friends, taunts from relatives are some of the side effects of today’s competitive world.

The stress and burden on the shoulders of the students is touching sky levels. With the increase in opportunities for students, there has been a hike in the competition among them. Due to the increase in competition, the peer pressure on a child has also increased manifolds. The students now need to put their souls into studying in order to keep themselves ahead in the rat race of education. The increase in number of examinations by school administrations, rise in difficulty levels of theses competitive exams and various such factors seem like a bog where students are just sinking with no way out.

Another major factor restricting the students from achieving their dreams in life is reservation, reservations in various educational sectors, job placements, and other fields are causing all the hard work of students to go waste in a dump. Reservation, an initiative by government to uplift the lower sections of society, is a positive step towards nation building and upliftment of weaker sections of the society. However, it becomes a blocking stone in the path for those who are deprived of such privileges i.e. riches and the middle class section. It is no hidden fact that reservation has become a joke now. This is a hindrance for the deserving ones.

Furthermore, parents and relatives do not help the student either. Constant comparison among friends and cousins is not a tool to motivate us rather it just hurts our self-confidence more and more. Parents forcing certain dreams of their own on their children do not help the situation as well. Students study well in a free environment where they know they are allowed to fail a couple of time so as to learn. Constant stress to score well and stay ahead in the rat race does no good to students.

I believe every student is different. They have different interests, passions, level of understanding, points of view. Some excel in Science, Mathematics, History, Sports, Music, Writing. There are so many fields for one to excel and make a living out of it. Yet even in 21st century the students are required to take one common examination in order to pass a class. And the students are judged on the basis of it. How is this fair?

Parents, teachers, friends and family ought to understand a child’s mental state who is struggling to shine in today’s competitive world. The government must reduce the reservation and regulate it well and provide it to those people who really need it. This will ensure that everyone gets a fair chance in life and no hard work goes to waste.

A Rose can never be a Sunflower

A Sunflower can never be a Rose

All flowers are beautiful in their own way!

Tips for Moot Court Competition

Moot court competitions are one of the most enjoyable aspects of law school extracurricular activities. The concept of moot court competitions is straightforward: they are intended to simulate a court hearing. Through moot courts, the law school provides students with a taste of what it is like to be in a courtroom. Even though it is a requirement in the final year, most law schools hold inter and intramoot court competitions throughout the year to help students improve their mooting skills.  The student usually receives a factsheet, which provides a brief understanding of the dispute in question between two or more parties who are assigned to either the Plaintiff or Defendant’s side of the dispute. The fact sheet is usually provided to the students.   These teams are tasked with creating a fact sheet that includes two speakers and a couple of researchers, among other things. Within the time limit, the students must conduct research into their cases, develop arguments, and prepare responses to the dispute in the form of petitions and affidavits in opposition. Then, on the big day, the participants must defend their positions in front of a panel of judges, who will score them based on a variety of factors including their overall performance. It could be anything from researching to drafting to making an oral presentation.   Let us talk about how to prepare for moot court presentations in greater detail.  Understand the laws that apply to you.  As a law student, you must be familiar with the relevant statutes. You are not permitted to enter the moot court without having completed any prior research or preparation. As a result, you should always begin with the facts of your case. If you’ve been given any sample briefs, make sure to read them thoroughly.  The goal is to:   state the most persuasive arguments for your side;   clarify any points that were not made clear in the written material;   address any weaknesses in your case;   and be familiar with the counterarguments to your opponent’s arguments.  Recognize the relevant facts of the situation.  Each and every page of the case should be familiar and understandable to you. At all times during the debate, you should present yourself as the expert on the facts and be able to answer any questions from the panel.   Consider taking your time when framing your arguments.  Keep in mind that your arguments should be natural and organic in nature. Your oral submissions will be judged on how well you frame your arguments. It must be constructed with a great deal of patience and consideration.  …
