Every year, thousands of students from Class 10 to Class 12 give their best for board exams. They wake up early, attend school, go for tuitions, complete homework, and still feel stressed, confused, and underconfident.
Phir ek sawal aata hai: “Itni mehnat ke baad bhi marks kyun nahi aa rahe?” As a teacher and counsellor with 7+ years of classroom and student counselling experience, Dev Sir has seen this pattern again and again.
Aur yahin se shuru hota hai sabse bada jhooth (biggest lie).
The Biggest Lie Students Are Told
“Agar tum zyada ghante padhoge, toh achhe marks automatically aa jayenge.”
This sounds logical. But yeh poori sachchai nahi hai. In reality:
Marks are NOT a reward for hours.
Marks are a result of clarity, consistency, and correct strategy.
Unfortunately, schools, relatives, and even society keep repeating this lie — without realising its impact.
Why This Lie Is Extremely Dangerous
Jab students is lie ko sach maan lete hain, toh problems shuru hoti hain:
1) Guilt Without Reason
Students feel guilty all the time: “Maine aaj 6 ghante hi padha…” “Main topper jaisa nahi hoon…” Even when they are trying sincerely.
2) Quantity Over Quality
Students focus on syllabus complete karna, chapters tick karna — instead of concept samajhna and mistakes analyse karna.
3) Self-Doubt Develop Hota Hai
Sabse dangerous part: Hard-working students start believing they are weak or average. Once confidence gir gaya, performance automatically gir jaati hai.
Reality: Boards Me Actually Kya Kaam Karta Hai?
Boards me success ka formula simple hai, but log ignore kar dete hain:
- Concept > Content — Agar concept clear hai, twist questions bhi handle ho jaate hain.
- Revision > New Study — Roz thoda-thoda revise = confidence up, fear down.
- Right Guidance > Extra Hours — Wrong direction me 10 hours = waste, right direction me 3 hours = effective.
This is where experienced guidance makes the real difference.
Dev Sir’s Classroom Observation (Very Important)
After teaching hundreds of students, one thing is crystal clear:
“Toppers zyada padhai nahi karte — wo zyada sahi padhai karte hain.”
They know what to study, what to skip, when to revise, and how examiners think. Ye clarity sirf self-study se nahi aati — right mentorship se aati hai.
A Message for Parents (Please Read Carefully)
Parents often ask: “Mera bachcha padh raha hai, phir bhi result kyun nahi aa raha?” Answer is not pressure. Answer is direction.
Comparisons, constant reminders, and fear-based motivation damage confidence. Instead:
- Ask: “Aaj kya samjha?”
- Not: “Kitne ghante padha?”
This small change creates a huge mental shift.
Class 8–10 Students: Yeh Time Sabse Important Hai
Many parents think: “Board toh Class 10 ya 12 me hai, abhi time hai.” Reality: Class 8–10 is the foundation stage.
Jo confusion yahan clear nahi hota:
- Class 11 me explode karta hai
- Class 12 me panic ban jaata hai
Early guidance = stress-free boards + better career decisions.
Final Truth (Please Remember This)
Boards me success ka relation ghanton se nahi, samajh aur strategy se hota hai.
If a student understands concepts, revises smartly, and gets correct guidance — marks follow naturally.
Need Personal Guidance?
Every student is different. Every child needs a different approach. That’s why Dev Sir provides personal academic and career counselling for students of Classes 8–12 — to help them study smarter, not harder.
Right guidance today prevents regret tomorrow.
