• Would have developed willpower & determination through tough times
faced at home & school/college like exams & other pressure/deadline ori-
ented tasks.

some extra curricular activities, which would have aided personality
growth in fields other than the prescribed curriculum.
• Would have a reasonable interest in knowing about important National &
International events & social issues & have an independent opinion on
them.
Reasons for deficiencies in QLQs
It would be apparent from the discussion that the above should be a very
normal profile of a candidate. Such a candidate would be selectable. Nothing
extra ordinary is required!
Unfortunately, a large number of candidates do not develop these qualities
because their growth lacks balance. This mis balance is caused by undue fo-
cus on marks and wastage of considerable time in attending extra tuition
classes.
How to develop OLQs
If you have led a normal life of a student as discussed above, then there is no
problem. You would be have adequate OLQs.
