NTA UGC NET Success Story (Commerce) June 2018: Sameeksha Madan

Yes, I did. I strongly believe that hard work, dedication and perseverance together can never go waste. I always wanted to be an academician and cracking this exam is just one small milestone achieved.

First

Focus, regularity and sincerity are must for cracking any sort of competitive exam and UGC NET exam is no different. I always tried to keep a balance between paper 1 and 2; and tried to practice as much previous years’ questions as possible.

Through solving one gets to know about the changing pattern of the questions over the years and the right approach for attempting them. So all this along with a good study material helped me crack the exam.

Well, the study plan for an exam will firstly depend upon the number of days one has in hand to dedicate for it. Since I had less than 2 months for preparations so I used to devote a good 4-5 hours for paper 2 and minimum 1-2 hours for paper 1 daily.

I tried to finish all the easy units/topics in the initial days so that I could be left with enough time to go through the difficult ones later on. I made weekly study goals instead of straight away “2 months’ plan”.

Nevertheless, I always kept this into consideration that I had to redeem the last 10-12 days exclusively for revisions. So each day I made sure that I religiously follow my study plan, failing which I used to compensate with studying for some extra hours the very next day. This kept my routine going.

This depends on person to person. However, with or without coaching, one would definitely require consistent self study.

There is a long list of books and online materials which I read. The website “ugcnetpaper1.com” is one amongst such platforms. 🙂

I think the most important thing is “to identify” what your weak areas are. I exactly did that and tried to improve as much as I could. I channelized the rest of my efforts on developing my strengths so that I could achieve the end goal and there was no room for apprehensions at any point.

Never be over confident-revise and re-revise as much as possible; Don’t divide your focus (some people write several competitions, all at the same time) NEVER DO THAT! ;

Do not do the mistake of ignoring paper 1-its equally important; Don’t just rely on coachings or any outside sources;

Don’t spend too much time on preparing a particular subject/topic.

If I can do it in one go, then you can too!! 🙂
Don’t lose motivation in any case. Life isn’t just about or limited to an exam. What’s meant for you will come your way one day, just give your 100% at everything you do. Success will automatically follow.

All the best! 😀

Currently I am pursuing PhD. In future, I look forward to attain my teaching and research goals so as to contribute towards developing the institute I work for as well as the society.
