"Even if we can get it to the fullest extent and we become pure devotees that is not enough. The real achievement, the real objective of our involvement in Krishna consciousness is to distribute it to others and that is what is going to please Krishna and Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. That is the objective Srila Prabhupada established for ISKCON."

Following is answer to your question from whatever I heard from GNP and my councillor.
Prabhuji as per your question, HG Radheshyam Prabhu says that studies as important as bhakti. So we should study at your best. SP-"everyone in my iskcon is first class".HH Bcs - "You should be first in your class”. Therefore please do your study as arjuna fought for krsna's desire. Also in case of preaching, a devotee is very intelligent. You can preach to your classmates and students from your neighbourhood and tutions.Since kc movement is especially for youth. Also you may adopt some regulations in order to regulate your life and take out time for both preaching and studies. For example rising at 3 am in morning, taking 6 hours of sleep, avoiding day sleep, prajalpa,etc. this will save your time also you will find lesser difficulties in your preaching and studies. This will also maintain your consciousness krsna conscious. Also as you know, PURITY IS FORCE that means for preaching we should also poses some battery or power. That we will get by the association of pure devotees, regular chanting, SP books’ reading and following four regulative principles. Also please read my one blog,”SP instruction for preaching to the intelligent class of men.”
Are you satisfied? Let me know otherwise I can send you more material. I felt a great pleasure by serving you.
Your useless and insignificant servant,
kartik
