Some students vanish socially when opting for such fields but this should not be the case. Candidates should know how to optimize their time properly so that they do not have to compromise either their life or education. 

Balancing life and studies

A student plays several roles like partner, worker, friend, classmate, etc, and maintaining a balance is quite a difficult task.

To complete these various roles a student needs to be adept in a variety of factors.
