A very important piece of information that i want to share with you all is that for the last two years the NET Exam has been conducted by the Central Board of Education that is CBSE and not the Union Grant Commission UGC as it used to do earlier. Thus, all the aspirant of this very exam kindly look forward to the website www.cbsenet.nic.in for any details and notifications related. NET Exam is basically an eligibility test for the candidates who aspire to excel their careers in Academic field and particularly aspiring for Lectureship, Research Programs and Scholarship. This exam is conducted twice in a year in the month of June and December one is eligible to attempt this exam after the post graduation. The syllabus includes the whole content of the Master’s subject, there are three Papers to be given for this exam Paper 1st is General and Teaching Aptitude, Paper 2nd and 3rd includes the whole syllabus from the Masters’. The exam is Objective in nature thus it requires an attentive preparation, now I would like to tell you how to prepare for the NET exam at its best. Let me divide it in two categories at first are those who are attempting this exam for the very first time. And second those who have already given it but could not qualify. Following are the things to remember while preparing for the exam, but most importantly remember that this if you prepare you confidently and with full awareness then it is not at all tough to crack this exam and rest is the wish of God. •If you are planning to give this exam for the first time, there is no need to worry and get nervous all you have to do is to thoroughly brush your syllabus of M.A main subject. Try to do a Power Reading of the content at first without trying to understand each and every word just try to store the information into your mind. Power reading makes you familiar with the content and when later you try to understand the concepts it gives you a feeling of being already known to the subject. Now, as soon as you finish up the power reading, in your second go try to understand the concepts in detail and make them clearer in your mind. For the first timers it is very important to thoroughly understand the concepts and content of the syllabus. Besides, extensive reading one should also prepare from the multiple choice questions books because the exam is Objective and it will give a good idea to attempt for the exam. •Plan your time according to the need to of the subjects. Paper 1st requires a lot of practice of Logics, Reasoning, Reading and Data Interpretation thus one should never ignore these categories of the syllabus and should try to practice at least 10-15 questions from each of the subject. •One should not panic and rely upon outer sources to help them in the preparation i am referring to the Coaching Institutes. One can easily prepare for the exam at home only but regularity is must. Daily reading and practice is must to prepare well for the exam. •If one has already attempted the exam but could not make it then in the next attempt one should only stick to the reading of Multiple Choice Questions as many as possible. There are many question banks available in the market particularly published by Bright Careers. So, the second time attempters should only stick to the practising solving the multiple questions instead of again doing an extensive study of the whole syllabus. •For the first timer extensive study of 3-4 months is required prior to the exam and for the candidates who are already familiar to the exam can prepare in about 2 months prior to the exam. •Reading section, Teaching Aptitude, Data Interpretation, Logic, Mathematical Reasoning, Information Technology are the crucial subjects so one should try to practise them well.
In order to clear Net Exam one must be very clear about the fundamentals of each topic minutely. Planning a proper schedule with relevant books is extremely important. Moreover, you must practice a series of previous year’s question paper, so that is helps you to manage time and get an overall idea about the preparation of exam perfectly. You can also try for various online exams that will boost your knowledge and help to recover your loop holes in various sections for the exam. At the end frequent revision is a must that will help to memorize the lessons easily for a continuous effect.
