Hi MSSS Aspirants!!
Greetings!!
As we all are aware that we have chosen the lucrative double edged Work Integrated Learning Program (WILP), Master of Science in Software Systems (MSSS), while being an active contributor to the IT industry. Also, at the same time, it is doubly difficult to remain diligent to the study plan and maintain a regular and slow & steady study routine, not being cocooned in the sacrosanct environs of a College and under constant guidance of the Professors and Peers.
So to keep up with the time, running like a bullet train and days converting into months, I have a few suggestions for the upkeep of a healthy study routine without disturbing the usual work routine.
1. Each semester includes 4 subjects. First and foremost, buy the books in the beginning of the the semester. Books provide mobility and enables take-out-and-study irrespective of locale and timings. Do not forget to keep a couple of blank pages in the middle of each of the books which can double as book-mark as well as notes. Carry a book each day while travelling to the work-place. Utilize the time spend in the local-train and bus to study and complete a couple of pages and if time permits (traffic-jams) a chapter all-together. While returning back, revise the same, as the mind will not be as fresh and agile as it was in the morning! Am I not right ;)
2. Buy/Download the PDF versions of the same books and keep a copy of the same in the office Laptop/Desktop! In the mornings and after Lunch hours, make a habit of working out a few problem-statements/Numericals at the back of the chapters! Also use these PDF versions while travelling to home-town or business-travel as it is not advisable to carry the hefty books to these locations!!
3. As it was said that when Arjun (Mahabharat) was told to shoot an arrow in the eye of the Birdie, he successfully did so only because he was focussed and all the other objects surrounding him were out of the context in his thinking. The same applies here too!! While making time for study, keep the objects of house-hold and work-place out of context.
4. Slow and steady wins the race! Be the tortoise and not the rabbit. Instead of planning to study only in the weekends, please make the work-days the warm-up sessions for the weekends!
5. Prioritise the syllabus over the entire content of the books and study-material. Prepare for the syllabus first and if then time permits, increase the knowledge-base by covering the rest of the topics, not in the syllabus!
Best Wishes!!
