Tips for How to Write Answers in UGC/CSIR NET JRF Examination
Here are some tips and techniques to score well in the UGC NET examination. Follow them to the best of your ability. Good luck! (According to some experts)
1. Writing skills matter a lot in the NET Examination. Most candidates appearing for the NET examination have a lot of knowledge but lack writing skills. You should be able to present all the information and knowledge in a coherent and logical manner, as expected by the examiner. For example, quote facts and substantiate your answer with related concepts, emphasizing your point of view.
2. Preparations for the NET examination should be done intensively.
3. Prepare a standard answer to the question papers of previous years. This will also make your task easier at the UGC examination.
4. Do not miss the concepts. Questions asked are of the Master's 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 successful candidates or other sources, and also select 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 to all 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 previous years and solve them to simulate 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 writing skills, keep writing model answers while preparing for the NET examination. This helps you 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 will save time. Besides, the number of marks you achieve is 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.
13. Follow paragraph writing rather than essay form. A new point should start with a new paragraph.
14. If the question needs an 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 yourself and God.
All the best.
