Part-2 Tips, Guidance and Valuable Suggestions for UGC NET Exam

Be yourself a Leader and Self-motivator

Being a leader of one’s own preparation schedule and consistent self-motivation are the key to success in qualifying UGC NET and many other examinations nationwide. It is slightly difficult task to lead our own self and motivate for the same. But when you become a leader, you actually control the whole thing and meanwhile you also motivate yourself for better learning gradually. It is important to stick to the schedule prepared by you. Once you begin following the schedule, it will become a good habit in the long term. Do it at least for 21 days and see the changes in your learning. Make a timetable according to the syllabus topics. For example, Monday for Unit-1 Drama, Tuesday for Unit-2 Poetry and so on for other units. When you complete all topics, revise the same method.

Another method is to complete the whole Unit-1 of Drama in the week or till you can cover all topics of drama. But the first and foremost condition is to read and prepare for the topics at least for 6-7 hours a day. So, you can have around 50 hours in a week to prepare. Follow the same for all units till you cover the whole syllabus of English Literature. It will take time if you are a beginner for the exam. But if you have learnt well the literature during your graduation and post-graduation, you will surely make it out easily in a few weeks.

Further, you can make notes of important key points during your reading. Highlight it using any highlighter or underline it with a pencil. Don’t read any guide for your preparation as a guide which are available in the market will not be sufficient for NET. A guide can help you only 10-20 percent as it gives only an overview of the literary works and about the poets, dramatists or any criticism theory. Select different books for different units. I have already guided on unit-wise important books for UGC NET in English. I have mentioned 10-12 books for the whole syllabus.

In addition to accelerate your preparation, use social media for your preparation. But only follow free platforms where the aspirants like you are sharing questions and major points of the literature regularly every day.

Don’t ever listen to the negative people that you cannot clear the exam; you are not for this; you better do something else; or you have tried enough. Just continue doing the preparation as it takes time to cover the topics with in-depth knowledge. Then practice it as much possible as you can. Carry a small chits or copies of any important topic of literature, any work of a playwright or poet with you everywhere you are going. The handiest is your mobile phone which you can use to keep a storage of such important topics; but at the same time make sure that you use mobile for preparation purpose and for communication rather than wasting time on social media for no reason.
