People have already suffered a lot due to the outbreak of this pandemic virus. It's been tough on students who were eagerly waiting for their exams after hard work of two or more years but had to face postponement of the exams.

• Write down your goal: You need to constantly ask yourself why you're seeking admission into the IIT? You can undoubtedly achieve anything if you answer this question. You must write down your goal and paste it near your study table. Whenever you feel low, pick that paper up and consider why you chose this path. This will immensely help boost your energy and provide you with the much-needed motivation in these tough times.
• Reward yourself: This is one of the most excellent strategies to encourage yourself and build up motivation. The rules are simple - achieve the set target for the day and reward yourself for the same. For example, choose any concept from any subject and take a test on the same concept. Once you're done with it, go out for a walk, order some of your fav food or listen to your preferred music. That's it! The only condition is to complete your task.
• Review regularly: This is the thumb rule for JEE Advanced exam preparation. How would this help in giving motivation? It's so important to track your progress and review it. When you aim for a specific goal, it's crucial to check your progress, and your journey has different checkpoints. When you start examining your progress regularly, you'll realize that you've come a long way from the point where you started. This gives satisfaction and keeps you motivated in the right direction.

• Attract positivity: A positive environment not only helps you grow but also helps you stay motivated. Keep yourself surrounded by positive people in friends, family, cousins, mentors, etc. They are the biggest motivators in your life and help you punch above your weight even when you are down and out. Optimism and positivity motivate like anything, and it's a must for a JEE Advanced aspirant aiming for a seat in the IIT.

• Keep yourself self-motivated: Do you need external motivation? The answer is yes. What about internal motivation? It's more important than any external motivation. The best way to keep motivated is to keep yourself self-motivated.
