First and foremost a case study needs to be read carefully and the situation needs to be understood well. A proper analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is important.

It is not mandatory as such, but including diagrams wherever possible makes the paper look more presentable and it allows the examiner to gauge the level of understanding of the student about the topic in a glance.
10)Any specific study pattern adopted i.e. timetable / how many hours per subject per day etc.?
A schedule was prepared and proper time was allotted for each subject.

Self determination, control and being focused plays an important role during exams, taking short breaks and relaxing in between study time is very essential.

I would make the education system more practical and such that it would cater to the modern changing times and help the students to gain a global perspective.
13) Many students prepare sincerely but constantly live under fear that they are not from big college / not from English medium and eventually lose confidence. What message would you like to these students?
All that matters is making up one’s mind to achieve ones goals. One should constantly strive to overcome obstacles and rise above all odds, focusing primarily on the goal and leaving the rest which is secondary.
14) Through this struggle and success, what have you learned? What is the wisdom of life and competition?
Management is not all about reading books but creating a change in society with a positive outlook.
