Mysuru: Every time students sit in the examination hall, they feel anxious and nervous and the pressure is so overwhelming that they tend to forget what they have learnt, said Dr. N. N. Prahallada, former Faculty, Regional Institute of Education (RIE), NCERT, Mysuru, while addressing Class X and XII students of De Paul International Residential School, Mysuru, on the topic “Tips for writing examination” in De Paul auditorium.
