How to prepare for ugc net commerce and general paper in

Rishab Soni

Your question is incomplete so I'm assuming you want to ask how to prepare for net commerce in less time. I'll try to keep my answer brief. I want to tell you from my personal experience that it is very much possible. Even if you only dedicate a month to it. First tip is always prioritise paper 1 over paper 2. Because you'll be competing against MPhil, PhD and even experienced teachers who have very good knowledge in paper 2. So competing in paper 2 is extremely hard. But most of the competitors lack proper skill for paper 1. That's a subject that is possible to complete wholly and if you get the gist of it, you'll never score less than 70 to 75% in paper 1, which should get you lots of breathing space for paper 2. Because I've never seen anyone in my own experience any qualifiers who have scored more than 65% in paper 2, but I've seen scores above 80% in paper 1. (my own was 80% in paper 1 for JRF) Secondly, for paper 2, you don't really have to go through each and every thing. We're trained for a cramming study but simply understanding the terms, descriptions, formulas and techniques are enough to give you a working knowledge over the subject. and let's be real, there will be subjects that you'll have to completely skip for paper 2 if you want to prepare in less time. and it's upto you to decide which subjects you can afford to skip. For that, I suggest you attempt every mock test you can find for commerce paper 2 in Eduncle as well as over the internet and do a self evaluation of your strong and weak areas. That way, you can appropriate your efforts proportionately and prioritise one subject over the other. Thirdly, don't panic. I've seen people who do everything possible to prepare for NET like preparing rigid study schedules for months and study 8 hours a day, still they panic while giving the test and it's clearly visible in their faces. So, it's not necessary to study 8 hours a day if you're pushing yourself too much. Study as per your convenience and interest. That'll retain longer with you and you won't panic in exam because you hadn't panicked while studying it. That's my suggestions in brief for you. Hope that'll help. Thank You. 😊
