Dear Friends,

I prepared for UGC NET for Labour Welfare/Personnel Management/Industrial Relations/Labour and Social Welfare/Human Resource Management.

Looking forward to your valuable inputs.

Hi all,

Can anyone provide me with a list of only labor laws that are used in every organization? Please.

Dear Pushpa,

Thank you very much for your valuable input. I also took the NET exam this June, but I didn't perform well due to a lack of study materials. I hope this will help me in preparing for my next attempt. If you have any additional materials, please share them with me. My email address is shilpatlgowda@gmail.com.

Shilpa

Dear Pushpa,

I will be having a restart of my career in Labour laws as I have completed my postgraduation in commerce long back in 1993. I was in search of material for Labour Laws, as I will be interested in giving my NET/SET after attempting for a master's degree in law. Your study material will help me to gain confidence in memorizing things, and thereafter too. I never thought of such guidance in my whole life. If you do have any extra information for study material or if you can guide me regarding studying labor law in an easy way, please do help me.

Good job, Pushpa. Hope to hear from you.

Regards,
Mrs. Sapre

Dear Pushpa,

Thank you for sharing informative data for those interested in appearing in the NET SET exam. Please continue to post such informative content.

Dear Pushpa,

Please help me out. I have completed my MBA in HR, and in UGC, I have opted for code 17. What made it difficult is that the subjects were different from what I have studied and what is in UGC. Please let me know whether I should opt for code 17 or code 55.

Please suggest.

Thanks and regards,
Kavitha.P

Dear Bhanu,

Regarding this, I have taken suggestions from a few people who have written UGC. They have suggested opting for code 17 instead of code 55. In code 17, there are management subjects, while for code 55, individuals with a background in MHRM can opt for this. Can you please advise?

Thanks and regards,
Kavitha.P

Hi Kavitha,

As Bhanu said, Code-55 should be opted by MBA HR individuals for familiar subjects when compared to Code 17. This is because Code 17 appears to have a vast syllabus and is a bit more challenging in comparison. There is no rule that only MHRM individuals should choose Code 55.

Hi njeyasree,

The material for the net is good. Could anyone please send material for the subject of commerce like this? Are there any changes in the question pattern?

Thanks.

Dear Bhanu,

I think at last you have understood my problem. What I feel is we have to penetrate through all the labor laws; only then will we be successful in UGC NET. Bhanu, please also let me know how to manage the time while writing UGC, as I had a problem in the specialization (last) paper. Even though I have explained all the answers through side headings, I did not get time to complete the rest of the paper. How could you manage?

Thanks and regards, Kavitha P.

Dear Puspa,

I am looking for the same because I want to appear in the UGC exam. Please tell me:

- What is the age limit?
- Exam type.
- Other relevant information.

Thanks,

Surely, I will send. I will upload in my 3rd posting. Check my second posting today.

Pushpa

Hi Archana! It was a very good decision on your end. I will definitely share my materials. Keep checking my postings. I will be uploading the complete material for Code 55. Even today, I have uploaded some materials. All the very best and wish you a very successful journey.

Good wishes,

Hello Pushpa,

I wanted to inform you that I am unable to send you the materials to your email as all Yahoo, Rediff, and Gmail websites are blocked in my office. However, I will be posting all the materials in upcoming posts. I have already uploaded some materials today, so please check them out.

I also did not do well in the exam. I will be appearing for it again in December.

Best wishes,
Pushpa

The syllabus will be from your MBA curriculum only. It may be possible that your institute's curriculum will be different.

Regarding your question about opting for code 17 or code 55, it's your decision on how you want to see yourself 3-5 years from now. To be a lecturer in HR, you should opt for Code 55. Code 17 will be more valuable if you are an expert in one or more specializations because there are lecturers who handle two elective papers.

It will not be so difficult to clear because in the UGC Net Exam, you need to concentrate on paper 2 and paper 3, i.e., on your elective subject.

According to me, the right time to go for this exam is during your 2nd year of MBA. It will be relatively easy to clear.

Hope I have answered your query.

Good wishes,
Pushpa

Wishing you all success,

Dear Pushpa,

It's really good material, very comprehensive and precise. I wish you all the luck in all your endeavors, and thanks for this immensely useful share.

Hi friends!

In my last posting on "28-07-2010, 12:42 PM" (UGC NET CODE 55: Labour Welfare/Personnel Management/Industrial Relations/Labour), I have uploaded only 5 attachments. In this posting, again I am uploading another set of study material as the posting is very limited on this site. Thank you so much to the respondents who responded to my previous posting. Kindly share the study material you have used for the same. I am looking forward to my next posting. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I have completed my MBA with a major in HR and I am planning to take the NET exams this December. I am seeking clarity on the subject code. I am interested in selecting Code 55, which focuses on Labour related subjects and HR. Can I opt for this subject code, or is it necessary to choose Subject code 17, which pertains to general Management? I would appreciate any insights you can provide.

Regards,
Kumar

[QUOTE=BHANUHR;1234076]Hi Kumar, it's in regard to your query. Great, thanks Bhanu. I found out something on the UGC website and am attaching it here. Please go through the first 3 pages & page no 15 of the attachment. According to it, management graduates do not need to qualify for the NET for teaching jobs in the respective field. Please go through it. Thanks, Kumar.

Hi Kumar,

It's not necessarily essential if you wish to teach in private colleges (but it gives you an upper hand). It's more of a necessity in public/government colleges/institutes.

Dear Pushpa,

I have completed my PGDM in HR and am interested in pursuing a Ph.D. Could you please advise me on whether I should opt for code 17 or code 55?

NET Exam Date Announcement

The NET Exam is scheduled for 26th December 2010.

Dear All,

The NET exam is designed to judge the degree of knowledge a person has in his/her domain. I cleared NET under code 55 in 2000. Based on my experience, my suggestion will be:

1. Prepare for Paper I extremely well. This is a qualifying exam. You may refer to the Upkar Publication Guide for Paper I.
2. For Paper II, you need an understanding of minute details. To give you an example, a question I encountered when I cleared the exam was, "On whose recommendation was the TU Act, 1926 passed?" Answering such questions requires detailed study.
3. For Paper II, choose a good book on HRM and IR. Follow the syllabus systematically.

Make sure to have a copy of the syllabus and a few books that you studied for your masters.

All the best to all aspiring for NET.

@All,

Thanks a lot. This is a very helpful thread. I was in the same dilemma whether to opt for subject no. 55 or subject no. 17 because I am a postgraduate in business administration with H.R. as specialization. I am not good at financial management, and so I was a bit reluctant to opt for 17. Now, I am reassured to opt for 55. Thanks again for guiding. I am looking for good study material to be helpful in the preparation.

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

Here are some of the tips and techniques to score well in UGC NET examination.

Follow them at the best. Good Luck. (According to some Experts)

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

4. 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.

5. 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

6. 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.

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

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

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

10. 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.

11. Try not to exceed the word limit, as far as possible. Sticking to the word limit that will save time. Besides, the numbers 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.

12. Highlight the important points which are important.

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

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

15. Keep sufficient space between two lines.

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

17. Above all be patient and believe in you and God.

All the Best

Hello all,

Follow the link below wherein some brief information is available regarding HR and its functions, which may be helpful for NET/SET and also in a general context.

Note: The link provided no longer exists.

Additionally, I have attached the previous question papers of December 2009 and June 2010. If you are comfortable reading ebooks, you can follow the link below and search for the subject name of the book, such as 'Human Resource Management', 'Employee welfare', and so on.

Wishing everyone the very best for their NET/SET examinations. Dedication, preparation, and practice will definitely lead individuals to their desired goals.

Cheers.

As of now, the same is not available; however, as soon as possible, I shall post it too. The December 2010 paper was better than the previous one as the questions were mostly general.

Notes for Elective Option II in Code 55

Here I am sharing some notes for Elective Option II in Code 55 and also for the first unit. Hope you all will find it useful. Keep sharing your input too.

Good wishes,
Pushpa

Thank you for sharing valuable information regarding UGC NET Code 55. Could you please share information on UGC NET Code 17 (Management)?

Hi!,

You have to study all the 10 units and your elective paper. You should not leave out anything. Only you should concentrate on definition, process, types, and methods in whichever topic you study because questions from all the 10 units will be direct ones.

Revise the last 5 years' question paper after studying each and every unit so that you will feel confident and clear about the subject. All the topics in the syllabus are very much available in the HR textbooks. You need to concentrate more on the elective, where you can expect indirect and illustrative questions. For that, you have to read more and more articles related to the topic.

Hope you will find it informative. All the best.

Good Wishes,
Pushpa

Hi Sharma!

During your MBA in International Business, how many HR papers did you study and what are those? After knowing that, I can advise you. If you didn't take any HR elective papers related to Code 55, you may find it a bit difficult to study.

Code 17 will be more general, but the elective will be your choice. You can select a topic in which you are strong. So, you can decide accordingly.

Good wishes,
Pushpa

I will give the UGC NET exam this June with subject code 55. I am unable to find the entire syllabus in my course books even though I have already referred to many books. Please suggest some books that cover the entire syllabus of paper 1 and 2 so that I can prepare well, as I have very little time. I would be very thankful.

I am also applying for Subject Code 55 UGC NET. Please let me know when the books for Paper 2 and Paper 3 will be published.

Difference Between Labor Court and Industrial Court

What is the difference between a labor court and an industrial court? Please help me in this regard. Your valuable information will solve my difficulty.

Since you have completed your MBA in HR, you should consider opting for code 55. The syllabus for code 55 is the same as the syllabus for MBA HR. However, if you choose code 17, it might be a bit challenging for you as it includes subjects like marketing, finance, etc.

Good luck,

Urvashi Gupta

Dear All,

I am a UGC NET - HR/Labour Welfare/Code 55 aspirant, and I would like to share my experience on my preparation journey and material hunt. As we all know, the UGC syllabus is at a very high level, and it's like an ocean once we dive in. We often miss where to start and stop on each topic. Like everyone else, I also started gathering complete material after an in-depth search through seniors' groups, friends, and online. I finally felt confident after going through the "HR Preparation" YouTube videos and their useful materials.

The good part of the videos is they are very clear on the subject, and we definitely get the feeling as if we are in a real-time class. You can try to watch the free videos and experience the same.

Comprehensive Study Materials

1. Comprehensive Study Materials with important notes
2. Practice Set with 2000 MCQs
3. Unlimited Video Classes
4. Previously Solved Question Papers

I also came to know that "www.hrpreparation.com" offers coaching for PSU sector HR jobs at a very affordable price for everyone.

Good Luck, friends.

Sekhar
