Mukti Udaan (PROPELLER) successfully organised an online “Confidence Enhancement” session on 22 January for its Udaan students preparing for the Higher Secondary Examination, including JEE and NEET aspirants. The session aimed to motivate students and strengthen their mental preparedness ahead of the examinations.
Mukti Udaan is an educational support initiative of Mukti that works with academically motivated students from under-resourced backgrounds, providing structured academic guidance, mentoring, and emotional support to help them pursue higher education and competitive examinations such as JEE and NEET.
The programme was conducted by Ms Saswati Mukherjee and Mr Sidhhartha Mouli, with the support of a dedicated group of mentors from TSS students. TSS is a sponsored educational programme of Mukti that supports students through their academic journeys. Many successful TSS beneficiaries are now part of the Mukti Udaan programme, where they actively mentor and guide younger aspirants, sharing their experiences and learnings.
The session began with an engaging and motivational PowerPoint presentation grounded in psychological insights. The presentation focused on managing exam-related stress, building self-belief, maintaining consistency in preparation, and cultivating a positive mindset during the examination period.
One of the key highlights of the session was the sharing of personal experiences by TSS students. They spoke openly about their academic journeys, challenges, failures, and the strategies they used to overcome fear and self-doubt while preparing for higher secondary examinations. Their real-life experiences made the session relatable and deeply inspiring for the aspirants.
The interactive format encouraged students to reflect on their preparation, raise questions, and gain clarity on handling pressure and managing time effectively during exams. Mentors offered practical guidance along with emotional support, helping to boost confidence and morale among participants.
Overall, the session proved to be impactful and motivating. It reinforced the importance of mental resilience alongside academic preparation and left students feeling more confident, focused, and optimistic about their upcoming examinations. Through initiatives like this, Mukti Udaan continues to demonstrate its commitment to holistic student development and sustained peer-led support.
