The Indian Student Dashboard helps students assess how different parts of student life feel right now. It supports diagnosis without judgment and highlights areas where small design experiments may help.
- Rate Studies, Career Exploration, Family & Relationships, Health & Energy, and Fun & Hobbies from 0 to 100.
- Use the ratings to identify imbalances, not to judge yourself.
- Low Career Exploration alongside high Studies may show a need to protect time for curiosity.
- The dashboard makes areas needing attention visible.
Rate the following areas from 0 to 100 based on how they feel right now. The goal is diagnosis, not judgment. Large imbalances suggest where to focus small design experiments.
Studies / Academics: How engaged and effective do you feel in your current studies? Are you mostly going through the motions?
Career Exploration: How much are you actively learning about possible futures beyond the standard options?
Family & Relationships: How open and supportive are conversations at home about your future?
Health & Energy: Sleep, physical activity, and overall mental energy levels.
Fun & Hobbies: Are you doing anything regularly just for enjoyment, without a clear academic or career purpose?
A student who rates Studies at 80 but Career Exploration at 20 may need to deliberately protect time for curiosity, even during examination preparation. The dashboard makes imbalances visible so they can be addressed.
