Since a sense of order is necessary for instance assiduous study, everyone needs to strictly adhere to the common time table.
Timetable brings order into one’s life, helps ineffective time management and promotes a fair sense of predictability and planning. In a house of study, since we have live with others, a common order has to be strictly followed by all the students. Arbitrary life style cannot promote hard and industriousness.
