UGC NET is a national exam and yes it I tough to crack it. But if you decide and do hard work, nothing is impossible. You have to make a proper study plan to get success in the NET exam.

Get familiarity with UGC NET syllabus and the exam pattern.

Then make a list of topics and prioritized them according to their marking.

Prefer the best study material for UGC NET recommended by the experts.

Solve previous years question papers and online mock test papers to make strong your weak areas.

Revision is a procedure to refine what you have prepared for exams. So, revise on the daily basis and analyze yourself.

Unfortunately, just knowing basics won't help you Crack such a tough exam like ugc net. In paper one for instance, you have to be familiar with each and every topic relating to Environmental science, Mathematical aptitude, Reasoning, Syllogism, communication, Research and teaching aptitude and data interpretation. I believe those topics are tough in itself and concepts such as Syllogism, Environmental science, Mathematical reasoning and Data interpretation compel you to get knowledge in extreme detail. You have to practise and practise. So please do not give people some false illusions. It is indeed considered to be one of the toughest examinations in the nation and will continue remaining one. Therefore, cracking it with just mere basic knowledge is definitely not going to make candidates pass without any hurdle as you are specifying. These days, still candidates sitting for this exam are lucky enough as the over all passing rate has been extended to 6% however during our time it was tougher with only 3.99% rate of passing. Equally tougher it gets for the unreserved category. P. S - Not being negative at all, being practical

Dear Student,

A career in lectureship is really rewarding and is in great demand these days. As you know, the UGC NET examination is compulsory for appointment as Assistand Professors in Government colleges and Universities. The level of difficulty is high considering the in depth knowledge required to clear the examination. However, if you plan your preparation well, you would have a good chance. Wide extensive study in the initial phase followed by deep intensive study when the examination draws nearer would be a wise idea. Solving previous years questions when the exam is very close would help in getting the required confidence.

Hope, this helps you. All the Best.
