2022-23 NTA UGC-NET/JRF Vol.-1 Research & Teaching Aptitude Paper-I Chapter-wise Solved Papers

There harbors an immense pleasure to write a book aimed at cracking the CBSE-UGC NET examination which is a target for lots of aspiring students and research scholars in the country for the eligibility of Lectureship and preferably with the addition of a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) to carry out fundamental and applied research. In the current scope of events, qualifying the NET has become more or less compulsory for a rewarding career in research or lectureship in our country. This was a bold step, and many aspirants were ill prepared for the sudden change. What's more, the inclusion of mathematically inclined aptitude questions were a bane of many and was subjected to intense criticism. In this scenario, many students lay in a precarious position, especially in Paper 1, which includes Teaching and research Aptitude, and General Knowledge. Mere practice was not enough for many, as the Aptitude questions were very new to the aspirants, many of whom are from the arts background with less exposure top mathematical methods. Many aspirants were left bewildered in the choice of the correct method of learning in this section. I strongly feel that this book can help the aspirants to make this "new" section much easier to deal with. However, in conjugation, the aspirant must not forget the hallowed ethos of hard-work, persistence and revision! All the best! This book takes on a new approach for the Paper-1 in NET. Instead of a large "bank" of questions which the aspirant can practice upon, this book focuses on a few questions of different types and walks the aspirant through the solution in a very detailed way. This is done so as to increase the conceptual understanding of the aspirant. This method of learning is retained much better, and increases the problem solving capabilities of the aspirants in a more impactful way.
