JULY 2018 NET - CHANGES IN EXAM PATTERN
Hello Aspirants,
Let me clear some
points for the new notification from UGC regarding NET Examination as it is
published in The Hindustan Time on 22/01/2018. (http://paper.hindustantimes.com/epaper/viewer.aspx)
Ø Next
Net exam will be conducted on - 8th July 2018
Ø Submission
of online application form – 6th Mar 2018
Ø Last
date for applying online – 5th Apr 2018
Ø Last
date of submission of Fee through online generated Bank Challan - 06 Apr 2018
Let me clear about the
exam pattern.
Ø This
time only two papers will be there in NET Exam (instead of three papers)
Ø First
Paper – about general and educational awareness – 50 questions – each question
consisting 2 Marks – means 100 marks for the first paper.
Ø Second
Paper – 100 questions – each question consisting 2 Marks – means 200 marks for the
second paper.
Ø Total
Marks – 300
By mistake, it is
mentioned 100 questions and 100 marks for second paper, but I am sure UGC will rectify
it. There must be 200 marks for the second paper. UGC is going to update it on
its website on 1st Feb 2018. Please keep patience.
Now regarding the
pattern, let me clear you some points again – Previously – the first general paper
had 50 objectives (100 Marks), 2nd paper related to subject
knowledge had objectives (100 Marks) and 3rd Paper again related to
subject knowledge had 75 objectives (150 Marks). It means the complete
examination consisted 350 Marks.
Since the second and
the third paper are related to the same subject and almost have the same
syllabus, it is unnecessary to conduct two separate exams for the same subject.
UGC has taken a right decision to amalgamate both second and third paper and
now aspirants will have to face only second subject related paper.
Previously students had
to face 175 questions and total allotted time for it was 300 minutes i.e. 5
hours. (1 hour 15 minutes for first paper, 1 hour 15 minutes for second paper
and 2 hours and 30 minutes for third paper).
Now the Net aspirants
have to face 150 questions – for first paper 50 questions in 1 hour (60
minutes) and 100 questions within 2 hours (120 minutes). Total 180 minutes,
means 3 hours. UGC has reduced only 25 questions, but simultaneously also
reduced 120 minutes (2 hours). So, let me warn you about the danger in the
upcoming exam. The upcoming exam will be the toughest if students won’t prepare
properly under proper instructions.
SPEED AND ACCURACY WILL
BE THE KEY TO SUCCESS
It seems that the
standard of the upcoming NET Exam paper will be equaled to UPSC Exam papers.
But nothing to afraid
about it – let me clear more points…
Ø Since
2nd and 3rd papers are amalgamated and now we have only 2nd
paper related to subject knowledge – unnecessary stress of working on the same subject
with two different papers is reduced.
Ø No
Descriptive Pattern, No Negative Marking.
Ø Students
with high comprehension ability and memorizing power (which can be improved
with proper techniques) have the highest chances to clear the Net exam.
Ø JRF
age limit is increased from 28 to 30 for General Category Candidates and 35 to
OBC/SC/ST.
Ø Since
UGC tests overall knowledge of the subject, so it must be noticed that THE PATTERN
IS CHANGED NOT THE SYLLABUS. It will remain the same.
It is my humble request
to all the NET Aspirants, not to get chaotic or viable regarding the change in
the pattern. Some professionals always try to make most of such situations by
misleading the students. The changes are
always welcomed.
They are for the
betterment of the educational field and the nation itself.
Instead of wasting time
to discuss the changes, discuss the studies. Focus on preparation and not on
results. Prepare well and success will be yours.
If any updates,
definitely I will inform you. If any query, you can ask me anytime.
BE FOCUSED.
Thanks.
