EXAM PREPARATION PROCEDURE

JRF-NET is considered one of the toughest and prestigious exams in the country due to two reasons. First is the very low ratio of selection to the number of appearing candidates and secondly because of its vast syllabus. Hence, most of the students find it difficult to qualify the exam, even after having a good understanding of the subject.

Like other exams, in order to qualify JRF-NET requires a bit of good management of time and effort along with proper guidance. First the emphasis is on topics for subjective type problems (second paper) and secondly on guidance in solving objective type problems (first paper) quickly. In other words, in order to attempt 16 questions from the given approximately 39-45 questions, it is not important to emphasize the entire syllabus; rather the knowledge of the paper’s pattern is important i.e. from which part the probability of getting many questions is higher. Our team is keeping track of the previous year’s paper (JRF and GATE, both) and based on it we select some important topics for the preparation. Also for objective type questions we provide a different approach to solve the problem quickly and correctly.

• Ideally the preparation should start three months before exam, but that means you must stick to a particular schedule. If you are an appearing candidate I would suggest starting in the third semester itself (provided if you wanna clear JRF).
• Solve sample papers as much as you can, well that is a typical advice to any competition aspirant, I would suggest to get in to the details ( theory part) as soon as you come through the questions.
• If you are a appearing candidate, then try to co-relate the questions from the theory part, Remember, it doesn’t matter how much your university awards you, rather a JRF would Really MATTER, so devote as much time as possible to get in to the subjects & concepts. They emphasize concepts rather than mugging up & vomiting data.
