HOW TO PREPARE THE COMMON PAPER OF UGC-NET

COMMON paper is a kind of boon for the candidates who are not confident in their subject.There are 60
 questions in all and we have to do only 50 questions :) and if you attempt more that 50 quetions then first 50 will be evaluated.THUS there is this golden oppurtunity to leave ten difficult questions in which you are not
sure.AND the cherry on the cake is that you get  OMR SHEET of both the paper 1 and paper 2 together (a single sheet) so if if you are not sure for any question you can get back to it after finishing your second paper(though not suggested if there is negative marking,bt untill now there is no negative marking).
     
        NOW lets talk about the demon itself :) .The whole question paper is devided into 10 sections(not

 actual sections but types of question).THESE are

1.  TEACHING APTITUDE
2. RESEARCH APTITUDE
3. READING COMPREHENSION
4. COMMUNICATION
5. REASONING(INCLUDING MATHEMATICAL)
6. LOGICAL REASONING
7. DATA INTERPRETATION
8. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
9. PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT
10. EDUCATION SYSTEM

And last but not the least CURRENT AFFAIRS.

FOR teaching aptitude you need not to prepare it as it can be solved with some common sense,however for research aptitude,questions are generally asked from research ethics or how to write a research paper.For this you can refer to UPKAR,S" TEACHING AND RESEARCH APTITUDE",thereare two three chapters dedicated for this section and reading once or twice would suffice because sometimes they give arrangement kind of thing and which requires both memory and wit.so better not to waste much time in preparing this part.FOUR to FIVE QUESTIONS are from these two sections.

For reading comprehension nothing is required from the preperation part but the action part.the best way to score 100% in this section is to have a look at the paragraph in both the languages (english and hindi),but only for that part in which you have confusion.There are atleast 5 questions of comprehension.

AGain for COMMUNICATION YOU CAN refer to the chapters in the same book(mentioned above) and solve the multiple choice questions.Atleast two questions from this part is expected.

REASONING is of level one and you can solve it with ease however you need to be vigilant for silly mistakes which we often make in easy questions.you can expect 3 questions atleast from mathematical reasoning and almost same number of questions from logical reasoning part.

DATA INTERPRETATION however requires your attention.There will be one single sum followed by five questions.IF YOU ARE GOOD AT PERCENTAGE AND AVERAGES you can score fairly well.BUT IF YOU ARE NOT then you need to work on it.HOWEVER YOU STILL HAVE THE MARGIN OF TEN QUESTIONS AND YOU CAN LEAVE IT.BUT FOR THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO BE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THE ANWERS FROM ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY.

FOR questions related to environment you just need to read last chapters of biology class 12 NCERT(DO NOT PANIC ITS SIMPLE AND NO DIFFICULT TERMS ARE THERE ).These four to five chapters are enough however keep yourself abrest with recent environmental conventions and news.

LASTLY, there are 2 to 3 questions form ICT.For this I will be uploading compiled chapters of NIOS which will be more than enough if you go through them once.

And for CURRENT AFFFAIRS keep reading newspaper.However i will also be uploading compiled current affairs notes..so keep visiting :)  :)
