How to Prepare For UGC NET 2022?

To prepare for UGC NET Exam 2022, one needs to have a very definite and proper strategy. Below are some Section-Wise UGC NET 2022 Preparation Tips to crack your examination in one attempt. Just stick to these tips and keep working hard. 

  • Teaching Aptitude - The sole purpose of this section is to assess prospective teachers' understanding of the nature of their craft, ie the teaching and student support system. Although the problems are of the MCQ type, the solutions to these problems can sometimes be complicated.
  • Research Aptitude- As the name suggests, this part aims to assess the candidate's research ability and understanding of the research. This part is quite simple for most candidates because most of you have experience writing your own research papers after and after graduation. 
  • Comprehension-  In this part, you will get an article and the questions that arise will come from the article itself. You just need to read the article very carefully and answer the questions. If you read this article carefully enough, you will get a perfect score in this unit. A little grammar will help.
  • Communication-  This part assesses candidates’ understanding of communication systems and channels. This section also introduces the communication modes and methods in detail. 
  • Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude- This unit is a bit complicated and reading the questions carefully is the key to getting a high score in this unit. Try to find techniques to solve different kinds of problems. Mentioned, always leave the issue of seating arrangements for last. 
  • Logical Reasoning- This section is quite extensive, and you will find at least 6-7 questions in this section. As in the previous unit, careful reading and understanding of the problem is the key to success here. (Note: You must have spent a lot of time reading your core subjects, but by giving 5-10 minutes a day, from now on, in each unit, you can bridge the gap between choice or abandonment.) 
  • Data Interpretation-  The unit is quite simple but time-consuming. As you know, once you find out the correlation between the data, it is just a simple calculation. There are no shortcuts to solving DI. Avoid using this unit later in the exam. Remember, all questions have the same score, do not waste time on any question.
  • Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-  This unit covers the basic knowledge of the Internet and its related terminology. In the modern era where computers and mobile phones are everywhere, this section will not cause you so many problems. Take a look at the latest terminology related to computers and their peripherals, and you can start learning this part.
  • People, Development and Environment- This unit covers a whole lot of topics be it environmental, cultural, regional, national or global. However, climate change, environment, and sustainable development are the key topics of this unit. If you go through a few of the previous year’s papers, it will be enough to take this unit on. Also, current summits related to environments are a must-visit topic of this section. 
  • Higher Education System - This is the last unit of paper 1. Here, you will assess your responsibilities as a teacher in the university or society as a whole. This section focuses on the historical importance of teaching, educational institutions and learning programs.
