Hello,

See the question of a student doing exceptionally well depends on  how well he/she is using the time and this is irrespective of the increasing competition which is moreover out of your control.

So, focusing on inner self and doing what matters the most that is judicious use of time is paramount. Yes,there's no denial that this lockdown is impacting people in a lot of way because of restrictions, but then the student has to decide what matters for him,if the studies and future ahead matters, they will do everything to keep themselves motivated and will not lose sight of their vision.
