How to write answers in UGC/CSIR NET-JRF Examination?

How to write answers in UGC/CSIR NET-JRF Examination?

Posted: 05 Aug 2011 09:09 PM PDT

Here are some of the tips and techniques to score well in UGC NET examination. Follow them at the best. Good Luck.

 
 

1. Writing skills matter a lot in the NET Examination. Most of the candidates appearing for the NET examination have a lot of knowledge, but lack writing skills. You should be able to present all the information/knowledge in a coherent and logical manner, as expected by the examiner. For example: Quoting with facts and substantiating your answer with related concepts and emphasizing your point of view.


2. Preparations for NET examination should be done intensively.


3.After deciding the questions one should sort out the NET question papers according to the syllabus topics. If one analyses these questions, after sometime the questions are repeated in one form or the other.


4. Prepare a standard answer to the question papers of the previous years. This will also make your task easy at the UGC examination.


5. Do Not miss the concepts. Questions asked are of the Masters level examination. Sometimes the questions are 'conceptual' in nature, aimed at testing the comprehension levels of the basic concepts.

 
6. Get a list of standard textbooks from the successful candidates, or other sources and also selective good notes. The right choice of reading material is important and crucial. You should not read all types of books as told by others.


7. Always target for writing section even while preparing for objective questions. As there is much in common for study and there is little time for preparation for the wriiten part II examination.


8. While studying for the subjects, keep in mind that there is no scope for selective studies in UGC. The whole syllabus must be covered thoroughly. Equal stress and weight should be given all the sections of the syllabus.


9. Note that in the ultimate analysis both subjects carry exactly the same amount of maximum marks.


10. For subjects like Mathematics and Statistics and Geography maps etc, practice is very important. One should also practice other subjects and should not treat the same examination, as an "experience gathering" exercise to get a chance for writing mains is a great thing, which you may not get again.


11. Go through the unsolved papers of the previous papers and solve them to stimulate the atmosphere of the examination.

12. Stick to the time frame. Speed is the very essence of this examination. Hence, time management assumes crucial importance.


13. For developing the writing skills, keep writing model answers while preparing for the NET examination. This helps get into the habit of writing under time pressure in the Mains examination.


14. Never be over confident with your writing skills. It is too subjective and behavioral.


15. Develop and follow your own style of writing. Try not to be repetitive and maintain a flow in the style of your writing.

16. Never try to imitate others in the style of writing.


17. Sequential and systematic style of answering comes after a lot of practice and analysis of standard answers.


18. Try to stimulate the actual examination hours to judge the performance and to plug any loopholes.


19. Try not to exceed the word limit, as far as possible. Sticking to the word limit that will save time. Besides, the number of marks you achieve are not going to increase even if you exceed the word limit. It's the quality that matters not the quantity.


20. Revision of subjects is very important. The reason is that you have been preparing for months or years together. It is a human tendency to forget something after some time.


21. Donot bother yourselves if you are unable to revise everything before examination. Write it legibly as it will simplify the evaluator's task and he can read the answers easily.

 
22. Highlight the important points which are important.


23. Follow paragraph writing rather than essay form. A new point should start with a new paragraph.


24. If the question needs answer in point format give it a bullet format.


25. Keep sufficient space between two lines.


26. Try to maintain uniformity in your writing throughout the paper.


27. Under time pressure, the script should not go from bad to worse in the later stages of the answer sheets. This may irritate the evaluator.


28. Don't count words after every answer. If you have practiced well you should reflexively know the approximate limit you made.


29. Give space and divide it by a dividing line between two questions.

 
 

30. Above all be patient and believe in God.

I wish to all my citizons of India a Very Happy Independece Day in advance


Dear Friends,

Our MOTHER-LAND is completing 63 years of her freedom form the shameful and painful slavery of British Rule. She had lost his many loving sons and daughters during the struggle of freedom. She had to lose many organs of the body for being cured from the disease of Slavery. She had to go through the operations of partition for this cure and she had got many more pains of sorrow. Please try to feel her feelings when her sons themselves were chocking her in to the pieces. It’s time to slue her wounds by making her truly cured from the new diseases of Poverty, Corruption, Illiteracy, Unemployment, Pollution, terrorism, Population increase, etc.

We have to take the oath on the 64th Independence Day of India, that although as an individual we have no constitutional power to take major steps to shoot out these problems directly but, we shall try to decrease these problems on our own level, at least we should not get involved in such activities that promote these social problems. We shall put our all efforts to be an ideal citizen. I think we can do many small things which can change the scenario, no doubt not very fast but, slowly it would be changed because we are the people who gathered and make the nation. If all people correct themselves individually, slowly the difference would be appeared automatically.

I would suggest some steps given below which can be adopt very easily and could make a big difference:

1. Give your half an hour for thinking about your nation in place of yourself.

2. Always be honest toward your duties at your workplace as well as at your home.

3. Do not use domestic LPG as fuel in your four wheelers.

4. Do not get evolved in electricity theft in any way.

5. Be honest, work hard with brilliance for becoming reach, in place of using unfair means for creating wealth. Do not get involved in any activity which could promote curroption. Remember corruption is very much dangerous for the growth of our nation.

6. Avoid using wood in furniture or home / office decoration. You can also use the steel furniture of good quality in place of wooden furniture. By doing this you can decrease the demand of wood, thus you can participate in environment protection.

7. Help in population control by family planning (We two ours one). It is our social responsibility as an educated person. If we give birth to two or more babies, what can we expect from illiterates or backward people? This nation is ours, this land is ours, these resources of our land are ours that is why we have to use these all in well managed manner, and otherwise our generation will have to suffer for all our mistakes. Kindly think about it.

8. Always remember the quality human resource is main key to development of any nation, so avoid enjoying liquor, smoking and other bad hobbits which could be harmful to your health and prove yourself as a quality human resource of our nation.

9. Do believe in "The Nation First" accept religion as secondary. The best religions are "The Nationality" and "The Humanity".

10. Contribute in spreading the light of education among the illiterates through any mean which suits to you.

11. Give your active participation to move upward to those who are backward to you.
Let the nation feel proud of us
