• · The individual just has to submit his details along with his idea.
• ·         If a team, a team representative submits his/her details and uses this excel sheet to submit the details of the team members along with their idea.

How to be a balanced Student.

S

ome students say, " I just want to get good grades and then graduate with very high points ". My answer, a simple and emphatic No!. Why, that's not how balanced students think. Balanced students are very good in class and also engage in extra-curricular activities. They join student competitions, sports,etc. They gain scholarships. Did I just say that? yes, I did.

First of all, information about scholarships are virtually everywhere. You find them on the internet, on school notice boards, hear friends talk about them.
