Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Con = साथ + science/sense: conscientious वह है जो अपने senses साथ रखे और अपने कर्तव्य की पूरी समझ से काम करे। माहौल गरम हो तब भी वह शांत रहकर काम ठीक से पूरा करता है। अपने senses साथ रखो — conscientious।

Read it as con (with) + science/sense: a conscientious person keeps his senses with him and works with full knowledge of his duty. Even when everyone around is upset, he stays calm and finishes the job properly. 'Apne senses saath rakho' (keep your senses with you) — conscientious.

Exam note

Synonyms: diligent, sedulous, assiduous, industrious, meticulous; antonyms: careless, negligent, cursory। Conscience (अंतरात्मा) और conscious (सचेत) को अलग रखिए।
