TIPS AND TRICKS ON HOW TO PASS UGC NET EXAM WITH NEW PATTERN

Hello friends.

The  pattern of UGC NET exam has changed and here I am presenting you an article with tips and tricks on how to pass the UGC NET exam  easily.

Change number 1: Paper 1 will have only 50 questions and all are compulsory questions.

Till last year, there used to be 60 questions and out of which 50 questions were to be answered.

The advantage of having 60 questions is that you can easily leave those 10 questions which are doubtful.

But now you got to answer them all with the changed pattern.

So you got to hone and sharpen your reasoning, comprehension, divergent thinking and general awareness. The key here is solving as many questions as possible.

Change number 2: There is no individual cutoff for each paper as it used to be in the previous years.

There will be an aggregate cutoff of 40% marks of all three papers for general category and 35% aggregate cutoff marks for all other categories.

It is indeed a welcome step as even if a candidate does not perform well in any one of the papers, he/she has a greater chance of performing really well in other two papers and try  to fill the mark gap created by that one paper. It is indeed a win-win situation.

There are two approaches to become successful in the changed pattern.

Approach 1: Give equal importance to all three papers and you will be sure enough to succeed easily.

This approach will work if you have good knowledge in general paper 1 and good amount of knowledge in paper 2 and paper 3.

Approach 2: Give utmost importance to any 2 of the 3 papers. It is mandatory that you study thoroughly any 2 of the 2 papers and even if you have average knowledge in the other paper, then even this strategy will suffice to be in the rankers list.

For example,

Study thoroughly Paper 1 and Paper 2 and average knowledge in paper 3

(Or)

Study thoroughly Paper 2 and Paper 3 and average knowledge in Paper 1

(Or)

Study thoroughly Paper 1 and Paper 3 and average knowledge in Paper 2

It depends upon the candidates because some will be really good in paper 1 and some will be extremely good in their respective subjects(paper 2 and 3). So its upto you to decide.

Approach 2 is applicable if you really have less amount of time.

But I would recommend Approach 1 right now as almost three months time is there before you write the  exam and it is more sufficient to cover the entire stuff easily.

But the biggest point to be noted is that just by getting the cumulative aggregate cut off marks, passing the exam is not guaranteed. You have to be in the top 6% of cut off list decided by UGC depending upon the marks secured by other candidates. Now the question arises is it possible to be within the top 6% to be declared qualified.

The answer is yes if you dedicate yourself for the exam by solving previous year questions and practicing a lot of model questions. Smart work is the key for success.

I will soon be posting more tips and tricks to pass the exam.

Stay tuned and share it with your friends.

Wishing you good luck and  great success ahead.
