 friends welcome to my channel I am Arpita Karwa and I am here with a video on public demand. Yes guys on public demand because I think that from the day I have started my website and this YouTube channel the most frequently asked question that I have got from students is ma'am which book should we refer for UGC net and ma'am how should we read these guide books because irrespective of the fact that I have mentioned the name of books in so many of my videos I have circulated these messages on social media a lot of students are still finding it difficult to understand that how they should approach a guide book so I thought of making a separate video dealing specifically with this question so that finally you are all suffering we are already troubled with the coronavirus so I think that let me just make your life a bit more easy by telling you exactly the methodology in which you should read any guide book. Now the very first thing that you must remember is to do selective reading what I meant by selective reading you can choose any guide book of your choice there is no foundation on that there is no good book or bad book it is just a book okay you can choose any book according to your preference but then a smart student knows how to study from that particular book what mostly students do is that they are going to memorize the entire book and then go to the question paper and try to solve it and even after memorizing the book they are going to find that there are innumerable questions that they are not able to answer so that's where you have to break the chain and you have to reverse the process rather than memorizing the book and then solving the question paper you have to first solve the question paper see what kind of questions are being asked and only study those topics from the guide book this is how these preparation should be done there's a very very beautiful line that I want you to drill in your brain and the line says that activity without direction is just change activity with direction is progress if you want to make progress in your UGC net preparation you have to do work but with a direction agar ab gallad direction mein kaam karte jaayenge just change hoga progress nahi hogi so activity with direction is very important and that is where I come to the point that you have to be very selective in your reading whenever you're reading something ask yourself is it relevant a week later late earlier I made a video okay on UGC net paper one teaching aptitude now I've started this video series just for you guys so that I can tell you what exactly you have to learn from a textbook or a guide book of UGC net paper one because I don't want you to waste your time and energy even in my online course that's what I keep on doing I tell students that ye jo mein bata rahe hu bas itna hi padna hai because these are the questions which have been asked from this topic if a topic is irrelevant kyu pad rahe ho already bohat bada syllabus hai so in that video if you have watched my paper one video on teaching aptitude you must have seen that I have discussed concept of teaching that's the first sub topic under teaching aptitude and in that topic I've mentioned that aaj tak is topic se koi question nahi aaya concept of teaching introductory topic hai iss se kabhi koi question nahi pujte hain okay so you know that a chagar guide book me concept of teaching pe 10 pages hai toh mujhe hi nahi aad nahi karna because question hi nahi aara this will only happen when you first go to the question paper and then try to look at the guide book so first important point put in your brain do selective reading ab a bolin ki ki chaliye maam ye toh pata chal gaya ki par nahi likin kaunsi kitaap se par nahi ye toh bataya nahi that I'm dealing with UGC net in general so I cannot talk about the best books in each of these subject papers because I have an expertise in English literature so if you want to know the best books for literature you can WhatsApp on the number displayed there so that my team can send you the book list but for everyone in general I have got few things to tell you number one make sure that the language of book is very easy for example a person who has done BSC and for the first time is sitting for UGC net English literature if they he has just enrolled in masters in literature he is not going to understand the book David Dachis why because the language is tough and it is a very advanced level book so the first thing whenever you are deciding on which book to buy make sure that you read a few chapters and then see if you're able to understand the language language samaj nahi toh bohot top kitab padne se kuch nahi ho gaya ki demak me kuch nahi khusega second thing whenever you are looking at a book see aapka level kaha hai aur book ka level kya hai agar book advanced level ki hai aur aapka basic se hile hoi hai toh advanced level ki book kese samaj haigi so you have to match that agar aapne basic level ki book padne now you're good with basics you want to move to another level then read something which is more difficult so in book selection keep these things in mind yeh bohot bada myth hai that ma'am which is the book to qualify net aesi kyon si kitabe jistar saare questions aata hai ari it's a competitive exam guys understand agar itna hi easy hota ki ek kitab ko mug up kar kya aap nikal paate to everybody would have nailed it no it's not easy the reason is that there is no the book it is just a book it is a part of your preparation wahi se hi questions nahi aayenge koi bhi writer kreem nahi kar sata ki mere book me se hi questions aayenge no so make sure that you don't put all your energy in just getting that perfect book which is going to get you all the marks no there's a very great saying which I love that don't miss the forest just for trees aap trees ko dekhne me itna zyada parishaan ho ki aap forest ko nahi dekh paare to kya matlab hai always look at the overall goal your overall goal is to clear net now book is just a part of that process of clearing net it is not the only way to clear net okay and the third and the most important thing that you must remember when it comes to selecting that book make sure that the book is authentic it has got correct information and a lot of time my team has told me that itne basic questions galat hai that it becomes very difficult to find out that book in which everything is authentic so jab bhi aap koi book pad rahe hain make sure that you see whether the information given there is authentic or not guide books me ye bahad bada panga hain in most of the guide books you'll find irrelevant information plus in authentic information the date of the writer would be wrong or if you're reading at some fact or you're solving some mock test questions which are there in the book you will find majority of the answers are wrong now aap sahi kar rahe hain but answer kuch aur show kar rahe hai toh you will question your own preparation so make sure in cheez ho ka aap jhaan rake jaha bhi book me koi fact hai jo aapko lag rahe galat hai google ka sahara lee je go to some great websites like britannica wikipedia to recheck the facts and then make the correction in the book itself so that you don't get trapped in the wrong information and finally before i end this video i'm going to answer the most important question how to make notes from these guide books very simple tips i would like to give number one stop being a photocopy machine we already had some great photocopy machines in the world so you don't need to do that task most of the students are going to read the book and write down each and everything which is written so photocopy this is not how notes has to be prepared now what's the right manner just think about a situation you have a younger brother who is in class 7th now this younger brother of yours has to give a test tomorrow he has not yet studied anything and the test is on unit one teaching aptitude for example now how are you going to teach that kid teaching aptitude in just one day that is exactly how you need to make notes this is called sibling method now what is sibling method basically you have to write only the same points in that book which can definitely be examined according to you and only the same things have to be written in pointers which will help you in the time of revision apart from that the irrelevant information is skip everything if you have 300 words in a page then only 10 percent should come in your notes that is 30 words from a page 300 words you have to write only 30 words in your notebook that's it you have to be so selective or else the course is complete so you won't be able to revise so make sure that you go back to this video again and watch it if you want to get clarity on how you should use guidebooks for UGC net preparation I think I've tried to do justice to this topic and to this question that has been asked by hundreds and thousands of students so with that note I would like to take your leave but before that please
