[Kiran Chandar]

Here i am suggesting few tips to crack the UGC NET exam which you are looking for .

The very first key to success in the NET is proper management of the resources.

Do not consider random topics irrelevant or unimportant since each and every topic in the syllabus essential.

There are three papers; two of 100 marks each and one of 150 marks.

Paper I tests the teaching aptitude of the applicants for which they can practice from the last year question papers.

Paper II and Paper III test the subject knowledge of the applicants for which the prescribed syllabus needs to be covered and revised well.

It is advisable to appear for as many mock tests as possible

The syllabus is vast so one should not waste much time on one question if not sure of the answer and move on to the other.

Applicants should not prepare many answers for just one topic
