 Hi everyone, good afternoon and a very very happy Navratri to all of you out there. Today we are going to be talking about how you can clear UGCnet English in just 50 days. As we know that today is 15th of October and it is 2 o'clock in the afternoon and from today if we calculate we have approximately 50 days left for the next UGCnet exam. So in this particular video I am going to talk about a lot of things but before I begin just a quick check or technical check I would just want to know from you guys if you can clearly hear me and can see my screen. So if yes then please put that in the comment section. Once I receive a yes from a few of you I will then quickly begin the topic okay. Right so let me just see from you okay. So I can see the message of Sutharthira. I don't know if I'm pronouncing your name right. Good afternoon. Menachi says yes. Omer says yes. Sehanaz says hi ma'am. Hi Sehanaz. I know we're very happy Navratri to each one of you. Navratri I guess is not just a Hindu festival. I think it is representation of the power of femininity which takes so many forms. So these nine days for those of you don't know would just want to tell you are symbolic of nine different feminine energies. So we have goddess Brahmacharni on one day then we have goddess Kali on the other day then there are so many different roles that a female plays a feminine energy plays I would say. I would not classify that as a female. I would say it's a feminine energy and it's also present in males. It is present in the entire world. So Purush and Prakriti are two very symbolic concepts in the Indian mythology for that matter where they say that the earthly energies are balanced when Purush and Prakriti both comes into the picture. It is what we beautifully call as the Ardhanadesh group which is about Shiv and Shakti coming together to create the entire entire world. And it is very very beautiful and very very serene to see what role of feminine energy can play in the universe and that is symbolic also of the power the charisma of the females. So I hope that each one of us respects and you know gives immense I would say attention to the feminine energy in ourselves and we value the role it is playing in our lives all the beautiful emotions that we have that we enjoy on a day-to-day basis. They all are a form of the feminine energy and I hope that the world respects more of it and especially the masculine energy and the patriarchal mindset that the society is captured in. They start valuing the feminine energy and the feminine role. So on that positive note let us begin with the topic today. I am also going to take up questions from all of you towards the end of the live. I'm going to quickly take you through this presentation where I would want to share a few dos and few don'ts. For those of you who want to know when this live is happening this is happening on 15th of October 2023. Right now it is 2 o'clock and 13 minutes okay so this is the time right now and we are going we are going to quickly talk about a few don'ts and a few dos that you have to keep in mind if you want to crack the December UGC net I have made this PPT after a lot of research after you know listening to a lot of testimonials of the previously successful students and you know that's about it. So let's begin with the first do. So I am going to talk about four dos, four things that you should be doing for the next 50 days and then I'm going to talk about four don'ts that you should avoid doing in the next 50 days and then that is how I see this entire life going on. Also one very quick reminder next Sunday probably I'm going to take up another live where I am going to discuss another important area that you should be focusing on which is paper one. So how to prepare paper one in the next 50 days is what I am going to talk about in the next life. So any one of you who is interested can automatically you know you know put a scheduler in their phones put a small reminder in their phones that next Sunday you should be there to attend the live. Okay so let's quickly go ahead and talk about the first do as you can see right in front of my screen. The first do is to focus on the most important points or the most important areas. Okay so three most important areas I've sketched them out British literature literary theory and literary criticism. Okay why are these the three most important area and why you should be focusing most of your energy in covering these three topics. I have listed that down British literature is very very crucial because any UGC net English paper you take up from any year be it 2004, 2012, 2016, 2022 you will see that 50% paper directly comes from British literature. So it is basically something that you cannot skip no matter how much you study post-colonial literature, Indian literature or whatnot but if you don't clear British literature properly then there is a very very minute chance that you'll succeed in it. Okay so this is one thing I just want to check if I am audible clearly and if my screen is visible let me know if you guys can see me. Okay moving ahead to the next topic which is literary criticism. Now literary criticism is also important but then I would say the importance is not as important as there are only 25 lessons or 25 topics that you should cover in literary criticism which will give you direct 10 questions right. So literary criticism comes around 10 questions every year and this question only comes out of 25 topics so it is by far the smallest unit and I'll just share something with you. So if I go to my website and I'll show you the list of topics that you should be studying for literary criticism you are going to see that there are so module six is literary criticism there are just these many writers that you should be studying socrates, it goes all the way to the victorian age critic, it finishes. So directly you get 10 questions right that means 20 marks right okay so literary criticism and then we come to literary theory. Literary theory 20% weightage. Now a lot of people say that literary theory is very very we don't know how to do it. Let me tell you friends I am telling it from the experience of all my students who I have taught or who have come to me for guidance. Each one of them says that it is just like something that you dislike in the initial few days but once you start understanding it it is the most simplest topic it is even simpler than British literature. Literary theory, if you understand how to study, what to study, what to skip, what theories how to understand, if you can understand the theory it is extremely simple. I'll just give you a quick example though I am planning to take another life especially on literary theory but just for your understanding let me tell you let's take the example of let's say structuralism. Now in structuralism there is this one lesson which is what is structuralism that you should know and then there are these number of writers who are writing, who are writing about structuralism or who are a part of this structuralist literary group. Now structuralism if you can understand the concept that structuralism says that they want the entire language to be understood just like science understands everything as a structure like if we look at solar systems solar system is a part of the galaxy, there is a solar system, there are planets, there are different continents, there are states, there are countries, there are cities, so there is a structure that is followed. We understood that when the geography, understanding the change of seasons, why certain countries are extremely cold, why certain countries are extremely hot, yes, time zones and all of that. These structuralist thinkers say that if you understand the system of a language, how is a language formed? He knows absolutely nothing about language, he doesn't know how to speak, he doesn't know, he cannot even recognize his own voice. So, there is a time in childhood, approximately when the child turns one, one and half, he for the first time understands that when he speaks, there is a sound that happens and that is his voice. So, if I take my example, I am 28 right now, when I was one year old, I did not know anything, today I can communicate so much to you guys, how did I learn all these words that I am speaking, how did I associate that this is a phone, this is a device that we used to speak, this is a bottle, this is a bottle, this can be called so many different names in different languages. So, whatever these writers say will be crystal clear Okay, there is an effort to understand theory which you don't understand many times because it is said in a very technical language. Okay, so that is the reason why I am saying that literary theory is very important to focus on. One of the reasons why it is extremely important is that it has a 20% weightage plus it is very easy and very easy to score because it is one of the most difficult units for most of the people. They are so afraid of it that they don't want to start it and they are ready to lose those 20% marks. Now, I will tell you one very important fact here UGC Net or any exam is said to be one of the most difficult questions in the easiest topics. So, British literature, let's say T.S. Eliot, he is a very well-known writer, anybody who wants to clear UGC Net will know that he wants to read T.S. Eliot. So, T.S. Eliot said they are not going to ask a question like, okay, wasteland is written by whom and there will be four options. No, they know that this is basic. If they don't know, they don't want to sit on the net, they are going to ask a very difficult question from T.S. Eliot. We are going to come to that. But when it comes to literary theory, they know that most of the students don't know who is Harald Bloom. So, they might give you the name of Harald Bloom's work, just the title of it. And they'll ask you, this work is written by whom. Now, most of the students are not able to answer this silly question because they are scared of delving in this topic. So, I'm telling you, there's a very, very high chance that you can clear a net in the next 50 days because if you have completed these three topics, that means you easily have completed 70 to 75% of the syllabus. That means if you get a cut of 65% in general category, you can definitely get through it. Okay, now let's move on to the next do, which is to revise every day. Now, this is a very, very crucial do to keep in your mind when it comes to the next 50 days. Most of the students have started preparing and they are very, very tensed that we have to cover as much as we can. We will read 10 books, we will read whatever we can read. And in this whole crowd, they do not revise. And the last one, one week before the exam, they pick up the notebooks in which they made the notes and when they start going through it, they absolutely know nothing. And they are like, Why does this happen? And this happens with everyone. Maybe you heard me say that, I don't know, she is telling me the same thing that happens to me. Why am I able to tell you that this is happening to you? Because it happens with everyone. If you don't revise on a regular basis, your mind forgets all the information. And I have told you different examples in my every video. Think about what you ate a week ago. Today is Sunday, October 15th. Last Sunday, what did you eat at lunch or last Sunday, what did you do at 2 o'clock in the afternoon? You don't remember. Why? Because you saw that incident and you moved ahead. You never tried to recall. When we don't recall the information, our brain tends to forget it. You think about it. There are so many things that happen around you. If you travel by car, you are going in a traffic, you observe so many things. Now your brain is very, very powerful. Your brain knows that if I start remembering everything, I will go crazy. So your brain knows that I have seen something. If it doesn't seem important to me, then I forget it. It only remembers the same thing that you remind it again and again. Okay, and that is the reason why revision becomes very important. If not, then in your mind, you read the TSLit today, it will feel that it is not important. I forget it. When you will remind it again tomorrow, revise it again, it will understand that okay, this is something that this girl is asking me to revise daily. That means it is important. I have to remember it. And that is how your brain becomes powerful. Okay, one more thing which I've written here and this is extremely, extremely, extremely important. Revision is 10x more important than learning anything new. If you are completing two new guidebooks in the span of next 50 days, but you are not revising any one of them, I don't think there is any use of reading those two guidebooks. I would rather appreciate and bet that a student who has just learned 100 pages from his notes and has revised it five times, he has way more probability to clear the net exam than somebody who has read two or three books and more than 1000 pages of information in the next 50 days. It's as simple as that. Now, when it comes to revision, another important mistake that a lot of students do is that they don't know how to make notes and how to revise. What they'll do is, they have taken a book, highlighted the whole book, everything seems important to them and then the next day they think, how do I revise everything I have highlighted? That is never a good way to revise. To revise, there is a way when you are making notes, you have to make notes in a very pointer-wise format by using mind maps. How to do that? I'll just give you a sample of the same. But before that, just want to know from a few of you, if you have understood these two points that I've explained so far, the most important units and the importance of revision. If yes, then please put that in the comment section. Meanwhile, I'll just go through a few questions very quickly and then I'm going to share with you how to make quick pointers and mind maps. Okay. So, Hinsberg says, from last two, three times, NTA questions are from Milton agents and so on. Should we leave old English literature? See, old English literature, if I talk about, has just three, four lessons. So, this is how much I teach old English literature in my course. So, if you look at the entire British literature, these are the writers that I'm teaching and out of all these writers, if you can see, there are only four lessons that I have on old English literature. So, you cannot neglect it. Why should we leave on that? Because it is very, very easy to go through old English literature. My is American literature and important trunk for preparing UGC net. It's Sheena Singhs. Sheena, see, as I told you, your, see, if we talk about these 13 modules that I've sketched out, all of them are important for net. That is the reason why we are teaching it in our course. But if we talk about that, you don't have time, you just have 50 days. Now, in 50 days, what you have to read the most, so these are three things. Okay. For example, let me give you an analogy. You have guests coming to your house and they are very important guests. You have to clean the house very well for them. You get to know that the guests are coming after a week. So, you have enough time. Every week, you will clean the room very well, you will be able to place everything. But suddenly, a guest has called you and they are coming to your house after half an hour. So, in half an hour, you have to do certain things that will make the house neat and clean. They will look presentable for once. These are the things because you have less time. If you have more time, technically, you should do everything. But if you have time crunch, then what you should do is this. Okay. Cool. So, have you guys followed me so far? If yes, please put that in the comment section. If Sheena says, ma'am, this strategy that you have shared with us will work to qualify for JRF as in absolutely. I am talking about JRF because my philosophy here is that you should complete 75% of the syllabus. JRF cut-off for general category, as I mentioned, is approximately around 65%. So, still you have a 10% buffer. Okay. What about Greek and Roman literature? Hinsberg, I don't think so. Absolutely not important at this point. Abhi Greek and Roman literature se zada questions nahi aate. Ma'am, can anyone clear the exam if they start their preparation from today? Kingmaker says, absolutely. That's the reason why I'm taking this live. This live is for anyone who has not done any preparation or has done very, very little preparation and still is eager to sit for the December exam. But one thing I should make very, very clear to each one of you. See, 70% syllabus aapka complete hona chahiye tabhi chances hai ki aap net clear karenge. Agar aap sochein ki main hana thoda sa padke chala jaatao thodi baat preparation kalditao aur mera net ho jayega. Let me be very clear. Let me be very honest nahi ho sakta hai. Agar aap ne kuch bhi nahi pada hai and aap ab se 6-7 gante nahi de sakta hai regularly, then there is no point attempting December ka net exam. You can go and attempt definitely December attempt, but that is not going to make any sense. So now that everyone is with me till these two points, let me move a little forward and let me talk abut ki aapko quick notes kese banana hai. So yeh jo quick pointers in mind maps ki baat aur di thi, yeh kese banana hai. So what I've done is I've taken a few PPTs from my course just to give you an overview ki aapko notes kese banana hai. I've taken three writers. Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poet hai, Virginia Woolf, famous novelist, and T.S. Enid, poet, novelist and dramatist. Toh mainin teeno tareke leh liye hai so that you know ki poet ko aapko kis tari ke sa approach karna hai, novelist ko aapko kis tari ke sa approach karna hai. Raise writers jino ne sab kuch likha hai, drama bhi likha hai, poetry bhi likha hai, novels bhi likha hai, onko aapko kis approach karna hai. So we'll quickly take these few. So if we talk about Elizabeth Barrett Browning, so these are few pointers jo aapko likne chahiye when it is coming to the biography. Now let me tell you something very important. So Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Now agar aap Elizabeth Barrett Browning ki biography pe jayenge Wikipedia pe. So this is the level of information that you are going to get. Now should you be reading all of this? No, absolutely not. Aapko bahut smart play karna hai, you should know kis type ke questions net mein aaye gaye hai aur sir bahi bahi information aapko parna hai. Nahi toh koi anthi nahi hai aapki tina bhi burlu people do PHD on one work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Elizabeth Barrett Browning ki sonnets from Portuguese ki ek sonnet pe PHD karta hai. So chis 4 saal wo ek sonnet ke baare mein parta hai. There is so much to read about. Bahai pe hi, hame UGC net ke liye there is a list of approximately 1000 writers jina hame parna hai aur 1000 writers ke kitne saare works parna hai. So you have to be very, very selective. You cannot dive very deep. Aapko pata hona chahiye, kya parna hai, kya nahi parna hai. Haum luk jo cost mein PPTs lethe, this is what we give. Haum aapko exact pointers lethen will tell you sir fitna paro, itna yad karo and move on. Sir yeh important hai, you should know what to study and how much to study. What to study to koi loko pata hota hai, kitna padna hi yeh nahi pata hota and that is the reason why they are not able to revise. Okay now biography ho gayi kuch famous lines ho gayi. Chike and that's it. It se zada aapko nahi parna. Then we come to the minor works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning jist mein yeh 4 works hai. Jo minor works in not something that you have to study in detail thoda okay. Just say cry for the children. This is about child labour. Then there is another runway slave at pilgrim point. Yeh US slavery ke lii likhi gayi thi, slavery, freedom, justice, this type of themes hai. Chike now aap jab yeh poems padho gayi to aapko pata chaleega ki, fain bahar yeh lo question dethain, 4 po-works dethainge and they'll ask you, ki US slavery mein iss mein se konse work pe likha gaya hai. Aap iske liye aapko po poem pata hona Chike themes aapko pata honi that will be more than enough. Okay curse for nation hai kisthis ke baare mein hai aap ne par liya. Then if we come to Virginia Wool, Virginia Wool ka biography mein aapko thoda hi thoda hi cheez hai. Kin se shadi hui hai? Ho good press ke baare mein because yeh ek baal important printing press tha. And I have also talked about this in my London vlog. So I have shot a vlog in London on the Bloomsbury group. Bloomsbury karke ek area hai London mein jist mein yeh vlog shoot kiya tha. Please go and watch it. It's a beautiful, beautiful vlog. Bloomsbury literary tour ar pata. You'll find it if you write like this. So this is the video discovering London homes of Virginia Wool T.S. in the GB shore and it's a beautiful video wherein I've taken you through the home of Virginia Wool 5, taken you through this poora area jaha pein sabke gharthe. Plus Ho good press bitha. And ek poora garden hai jaha pein sabke busts hai. Matta bhein ke statues baneway jo yaha takke hai. So bohati achha hai. You should be watching that. It's aapko thoda odd practical knowledge milega. Okay translated works of all these writers. Yeh saare Russian writers hai as you know. Then if we talk about the minor works of Virginia Wool. So yeh kuch minor works hai. Ab deke Virginia Wool ke jo major works hai, boh yeh teen works hai. Jaha se in-depth question aate. Mrs. Dalloway, Room of One's Own and To the Lighthouse. Okay. To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway is as you know novels. Room of One's Own is a non-fictional work that she has written. Okay. Now if we talk about Virginia Wool ke minor works to minor works mein 9 works hai. Yeh works ka kuch kuch details aapko pata ho na chie. Original title kya tha protagonist ka naam kya hai. First appearance, Clarissa Dalloway, jo Mrs. Dalloway ki protagonist hai, uska pehla appearance iss work ki andar hoa tha. So things like this should be there in your mind agar aapko clear karna hai net. Why am I showing you all of this? Just to illustrate the point kya aapko notes kaise banane hai. So that it becomes easier for you to revise. Sochke dekhi agar main aapko boljri ho aapko rose revise karna hai. Kal aapne let's say Virginia Wool ke baare mein kuch pada. You invested 5-6 hours to study Virginia Wool. And then aapko se revise karna hai. Now if you have PPT's like these hai, you have created notes iss type ke to kithna easy ho jata hai, voyages out ke baare mein aapko. Okay, that was the first novel. Original title kya tha, protagonist ka naam kya tha. It is the story about this. Pehla appearance yaya main main themes hai. Baise hi aap harek works ko dekhte vej jayenge. Now these are PPT's basically issi PPT's ke basis pe ham luk students ko padaate. So amare jo online course uske andar you have animated videos. And on animated videos ko dhyaan mein rakhte ve these are the PPT's that we give to the students. So for example, if we talk about to the Lighthouse Virginia Wool, so iss ko iss animated tarike se padaate ki aapko pataate ki iss type ke mind maps aap ke dimaak mein set ho jayate. Okay, ye character hai, ye iss ka beta hai, ye iss ke bache hai, ye ye ye ye kaani thi. That becomes very easy. I would request each one of you who is preparing for UGC net ki koi bhi novel, koi bhi play, koi bhi poetry aapad rahe ho. Please make sure you make mind maps of these poetry or novel or you know text for that matter. It helps you to retain the information. Okay, iss type ka banasate simil early if we talk about TS salute ka wasteland, for example. So aab wasteland mein bhi agar aam baat karenge. So the first section aab iss maapko kya kya kya yad ratne ki tarot hai. All of this we have written here. Aapko wasteland revise karna hai. So you just have to go through this section. And you know ki, okay, ye hai. Second section kya tha usme ye do scenes hai. And ye main main logon ke references hai. Third section kya tha usme ye hai, ye references hai. Revision iss tarike se hona chahiye tabhi revision ka koi matlab hai. Okay. So this was about the second do's which is to revise every day. Now, one thing that I wanted to tell all of you is that we have a crash course for UGC Net December. In this crash course, what we are doing is we are giving you, so this is the crash course, capsule course you can say which is there. Just kya andar you have all the topics jo yaha pe likhein sab ke lectures aapko milenge jo jo important hai. Plus aapko paper one ke poora lessons aapko milenge. So all these paper one ke jitne bhi topics hai in sab pe aapko videos milenge. So all your paper one topics aapko word. Plus you also get mock test for paper one and paper two. Okay. So paper one, paper two ka So this entire course is available on the website causes.arpathakarwa.com. You can also call on my company's number. They will assist you regarding the details. I would still suggest any one of you who is who hasn't prepared anything so far. I would want you to purchase a full course for UGC Net June. You also get the course for December. So aapka December and June doonon ke preparation hojhagi rather than just going for a crash course for December. I would advise you to go for a full course jisme aapko poora December ki and June ki preparation hojhagi. We are giving you three months of extra validity. So you have to ideally pay for six months. You get you know three months extra because I know that a lot of students are preparing for June but they are just giving net card December attempt just you know for the sake of giving it and just to get an overview. So for those of you I would want you to go for the full course. This is how the full course looks like. This is the online course for UGC Net. In this you will get video lectures, audio lectures and all the topics all the topics are covered. So if you in general see you get 262 lessons in British Literature you get 470 sorry 477 lessons in British literature video lectures is me her topic ke videos hain and her topic ke saath me aapko unke pdfs milenge jo iss tari ke se hota hai jo main abhi aapko show kare. So aapko TS Eliot ke wast land pe poora video lecture is jisme animated tari ke saath me you get a PPT like this even if you're not buying the course I would still recommend you to please understand ke kaise notes banane hai jis tari se hain na notes banane hai try making similar kind of notes in your copies as well. Okay moving ahead to the next point which is to meditate daily now yesterday India Pakistan match happened and you know when this match was going on I was looking at all the Indians around me and I can see that everyone was in that state kiba se India kaisa bhi jeet chahe. Okay now can you see the level of pressure that must have been there on the Indian cricket team when they fight against Pakistan because of the rivalry between the nations they cannot cannot afford to lose the match okay because then the entire India is in so much rage that anything can happen right so losing against Pakistan is a big thing for India now what I would want to emphasize by giving you this example is that see Indian cricket team is a great team when it comes to hard work we have great batsmen great fielders great ballers but can hard work only guarantee success what happens when in India Pakistan match happens two three days pehle sehi the coach of the Indian cricket team they start working on the mindset of the team on the field match ke andar aapko kis tari ke ka mindset rakhna hai aapko kithina positive hona hoga agar aap hope give up karthe Pakistan agar ek chhaka laga diya and the Indian team is like oh my god aap toh hum hard jaiyap toh kuch nahi ho sakta usi moment poore team ka momentum down ho jayega and the moment they all are in that negative energy fir wo kehli nahi pahenge perform hi nahi kar pahenge so jitna crucial abhi 50 days aapka hard work hai uttina hi crucial in these 50 days mein aapka mindset hai aap kyaas toh chte hai is equally important and most of the time students neglect this aaj bhi huma rahe counselling team hai jo students ki free counselling karte yes every day they get so many calls from the students and most of the students begin the call bhai main aap pad toh bhot rahe hain lekin aap pata hai huma rahe clear nahi hoon ba if you begin by saying things like this aap sochi aapke rimaak mein kya chal rahe aap pad rahe hain lekin aapko pata net is very hard i cannot clear it with this mindset whatever you study do you think you'll be able to retain it do you think you'll be able to perform your level best i will tell you i was always a very average student i was not somebody who is blessed with extreme intelligence but i have always worked on my mindset i always knew that agar main aapna dimaak sahi rakha if i'm positive if i'm confident about myself if i can tell myself that if i do hard work i can achieve it it is not impossible then i can get success so if it's mindset ko main a build kiya and i have achieved success so one thing that i would suggest you is that every day i have told you you have to revise daily okay two hours aapko revision ko denein saath main aapko ek aur cheese karne for the next 50 days is that you have to meditate for 10 minutes every day before going to bed i have already created this meditation it is available on my youtube channel i'll also show you if you just write meditation you will get this video this is the video exam success meditation it's a exactly eight minute 27 seconds ka video very short video and i want you to just see you know just let the word seep inside your mind whatever i am saying you have to imagine that you are feeling that you are going in the exam hall you are confident you know you can achieve it you might feel 4-5 days karke kisi kuch benefit we all you know scroll instagram for hours every day do you think he's instagram ko so just like that without attaching yourself to the result i am telling you how much workload you have 30-10 minute ka meditation karo for next 50 days i am telling you there have been testimonials which are put on the youtube channel where students have said ki am ne rose meditation kiya tha and we feel so confident now i am telling you hard work important hai but mindset equally important hai hard work ab din ke 8 hunte kar rahe by you know learning and revising and doing what not kya ham 10 minute apne mindset ko desat hai still 10 minutes i would suggest you have subhay aur raad dono time 10-10 minute karo but i don't want to be over ambitious i don't want like a pure din mai aapko kaam hi kaam doi isliye mai kairi hu raat me to zaroor karo because aapka subconscious me last 10-15 minute aap jo karate hu aapki subconscious me reta hai and your subconscious is the most powerful tool in the world madhab agar aapne apne subconscious ko train kar diya na to aap aaj ke aaj you can become the prime minister of India it has that level of power it can manifest anything in the world but agar aapne sahi se train kiya hai to so one thing that we can train is that you meditate for 10 minutes and you train your brain to feel confident that you will succeed in the net exam okay moving ahead to the next dos which is to give mock test every day okay so when it comes to this mock test ka topic i know a lot of people you know are very very anxious when it comes to mock test because unko lagta hai yaar let us not face it jese aapko bahi wali baate na kya aapko sahamne share dikhra hai to mai aak ban kaldita hu taak ki mujhe share nahi dikhain kyunki share dikhega and then i'll not know what to do mock test me comes ko rahega din meri ko boh dudh lagega ki mai to pass nahi upon go isli mock test ji nahi dekhain this is the mindset and i'm telling you it is very normal me ne meri 11 12th grade mein when i was there meri saad bhi hi hotata me ne pre-votes nahi bhiye the bohut baar yeh sochke ki shit meri pre-votes mein kamaingin mujhe kitta bohra lagega mai direct boards mein aapcha perform karun and there were mistakes that i've made and from those mistakes i've learned uske baad me ne exams mein meri battlers mein masters mein haan meisha mock test bhi hai and i have been a gold medalist to out my career and gold medal lane mein net ek baar mein clear karne mein mock test have played an immense role so firstly please yeh mat socho ki jab meri poori preparation hojayaega then i'm going to give mock test let me be very very honest with you yeh din kabhi nahi haata jab aap 100% prepared ho mein ne apne UGC net exam preparation ke time te saath baar revise kya tha still on the day of the exam if you would have come in front of me and asked me ki arpat aar hi 100% prepared i would have said nahi aad bohut there is so much that i've not studied so far and still i was able to clear it in first attempt and that too with a very very high margin so yeh din to kabhi nahi aayega when you are fully prepared but mock test ko delay nein kar baar don't focus on the score of the mock test aap mock test ish liye nahi deri ho ke aapko pata chole ke aap 100% kite maaks laar hu aap mock test ish liye deri ho jist aapko pata chole ki boh consi mistakes hai jo aap exam ke din kar satte te aur aap boh naa karu so you have to give mock test with an intention ki mujhe meri galti aap pata karne hai ta ki yeh galti me aaj kar loo aur in galti se seekke me yeh same galti exam ke din naa karu agar aapne aapne intention ba galti aaphi aapne intention kya me mock test deta hoon aur dekta ho mujhe kiten aap hai aap jab aap dekhon ke 100% mese aapki 20 marks aapko bohot bohra lagin hoon aur bahin agar aapne eek intention ne mock test diya ki me mock test deta hoon aur me jitni galti karu me khushoon kyunki boh galti aap ho satte hai me exam ke din karta lekin aaj me mock test me karke unge sudhar satta hoon aur thir me boh exam ke din nahi karun aur agar usd din aapki mock test me 100% mese 20 marks aap you'll be extremely happy or nahi 80 galti aap me exam ke din karta yeh asti galti aap me aaj kaldi just me I did not lose anything and now I'm going to learn from these 80 mistakes and now I'm not going to repeat it on the day of the exam so feel happy about the mistakes that you make in the mock test rather than feeling sad about it and number two very important make a mistake notebook am sab kya karta haan mock test deta haan haan aapnei galti aapnei galti haan hum duhte ho hum nahi galti aapnei galti aapnei mok test side me ratta haan chalte badan to aapki galti bhi bahi rahe aap bhi bahi rahe aap ka score bhi bahi rahe bahin pe agar aap ek mistake notebook banaalne usm aap likhye maini yeh yeh galti kari yeh ansar me rahe isse liye galtu haan kyunki maini yeh silly mistake kari mujhe iss tees ka dhan rakhna hai ya aapne koi yeh text nahi padha tha So you saw a question, I didn't know a text, you read that text. You made notes of that text and now you know. So make a mistake notebook, learn from the mistakes. So there was this movie, I don't remember it was an Indian movie. Which says that in the movie there was a dialogue that if you make a mistake once, I remember it, it was Dear Zindagi and Shahrukh Khan was saying to Alia Bhatt that Bebkuf is not the one who makes a mistake. Bebkuf is the one who makes a mistake and repeats the same pattern. Okay, so genius is knowing when to stop. Okay, so that is what you have to understand that you made a mistake. Nothing wrong in that, make a mistake but don't repeat that mistake again. That is the whole point. Okay, so our four dos have been covered, just want to know from all of you. Are you with me? Any questions? Any doubts? Then we'll move on to the don'ts that you should keep in mind for the next net exam. Meanwhile, I'll just see if modern students says why are you not taking comments? Is this prerecorded? It's not prerecorded. It's two, it's 15th October 2023, 2 o'clock, 2.50 am right now, 2.50 pm it is. And the reason I was not taking comments is because I wanted to talk about the pointers and I'm going to take comments once I finish with this particular presentation. Any questions, any doubts or shall I move ahead? If Sheena says I'm sorry for asking this again but are there any sales coming up on your courses in the foreseeable future? I don't think so. The only offer that we have right now is the three months off that we are giving on the six months course because we know that a lot of students are preparing for June. So we don't want them to get a course only till March because if they subscribe right now, the course is probably going to end around March. That's why we're giving three months of extra validity so you don't have to pay anything for it. You pay for six months, you get nine months. Okay. Hi Ma'am, please tell me important things in literary theory. Yeah, I'm going to take up another live session on this topic because it's a crucial topic and something that demands like about an hour or so. So that's why I'm not going to talk about this. Though I have shared some key insights on literary theory in the beginning of this live. So once this live ends, you can go back and start the first 50 or watch the first 15-20 minutes. Hinsburg says, please tell about paper one, how to waste it. I'm going to take another live on paper one. Someone says, which book should I read? Okay, I've already made a live. I have already done a live someone on books that you should be referring for UGC net. So I think you can refer to that live. Otherwise, you can also watch up my team on the number which is given in the pinned comment and description. My team is going to assist you on that. Okay, cool. So let me move ahead. Okay. So when it comes to the mock test, I'm just going to show you So we already have mock test, which is exactly, which exactly looks like UGC net. You know, the interface of UGC net exam. So for example, let me give this. Okay. So this is one sample mock test that is there on your screen. It's a part of our caption course, crash course and online course. Okay. You start the test. This is how you see the questions. This is how it is showing here. This is just a quiz on the old and middle age period. So what we have done basically is that we have made chapter-wise mock test like age of revival, Elizabethan age, Jacobian age. So age wise, you have a modern period. Unit wise, you have American literature, post-colonial literature, Indian literature. You will get mock test on all of them. And then full course mock test. Okay. So there is a full course in which you can say all the mock tests. It is just like the actual real UGC net paper, which has 100 questions. So suppose this is a question I click on next. I'm just marking random answers. Just to tell you how the entire mock test interface looks like. Okay. I click on submit. Okay. So once I click on submit, it tells me that what is the score. I can view the analytics. It is going to tell me how many tests you have done, how complete, what is the average percentage. How much you have done in unit wise. What is the speed accuracy? Where do you stand in the leaderboard? What is the opportunity? This is just a demo mock test. That's why the analysis is not so good. But otherwise, if you give serious mock tests, you will get a lot of information from this. How to approach the mock test. So I would suggest to you that you can also buy a separate mock test course. We have if you don't want to enroll in the main course. There is a separate mock test course. You only get a mock test access. You can check out that course. You also have Android and Apple application, iOS and Android. Don't know if we have app. So you don't have to have a computer for that matter. You can just give the mock test on the mobile phone as well. Moving ahead to the first point, which is the don't number one, which is don't expect to complete the entire course. As I told you that Koi V student 100% course. Even if you talk to each year's UPSC tropper, UPSC said to be the most difficult exam of the country. Now even the UPSC toppers would say that you can't study everything. Because they say anything and everything about the entire world you should know. Geography is also coming, economics is also coming, political science is also coming, GK is also coming, current affairs is also coming, everything is coming. Now how can somebody know everything? Nobody can know. So nobody is able to ever complete the entire course. Genius knows what to study and what to leave. That is what a genius is all about. You know how much you have to study and what you have to leave. So for example if I talk about TS Eliot's minor works. So these are few minor works. Now 12 works we study, which we study very little. Because it is necessary to study only that much. If we go to TS Eliot's main works, then there is a base plan or the love song of J. Alfred Profrock. These are the poems that you have to study in detail. But those who don't study in detail like this, you should know a few things. Okay, for example if we talk about its epithop. You should know that it is taken from Shakespeare's measure for measure. Or if it is a hollow man, then where did the title of the poem come from? Where did the epithops come from? Where did the contribution come from? What are the references? Okay, what are the last lines? You should know this. Do you know the whole poem's word? No, absolutely not. So genius is knowing what to study and what to leave. Similarly Ash Wednesday is a convergent poem. Because it was written when he converted into Anglicanism. So Catholic, Anglican Protestants are different. Okay, there are branches of Christianity. Inspired by whom he was inspired? The famous Italian poet Dante was inspired by one of his works. So you should know the details of this type. Otherwise everything else you can skip. Okay, so this is what genius is about. Focus on 80-20 rule that I told you in my last life. 20% results are produced in life. It's a very famous Pareto principle which says put in 20% effort and get 80% result. Most of the people will study English in India. In which you have to study a lot and one question will come right. If you have read the literary criticism, if you have read 25 writers, then 10 questions will come straight from there. So 80-20 rule is very important. Skip non-important topics like English in India. Now it's non-important. But is it necessary to study for a letter? Yes, it is. Why not? Otherwise it's not a part of the syllabus of the exam. But at this time, when you just have 50 days, it's necessary to study. Think about an example which I have just given you. If we are talking about guests coming. They are coming after a week and coming after half an hour. Technically guests are coming. Everything should be clean. Even the fan should be clean. But if guests are coming after half an hour, then will you clean the fan of your room? Or will you clean the wall of your room and put it in the cupboard? That is what 80-20 rule is about. Which 20% effort you have to make to clean 80% of the house. That is what this don't is all about. Don't expect to complete the entire syllabus, entire course. Nobody can do it. Number two, don't refer to multiple books. I have seen a lot of students who will make this mistake in 50 days. Their friends will send them material on WhatsApp, telegram. They will read it. They have joined 10 groups on Facebook. You are getting material, they will read it. They have bought 50 books themselves. They will read it. Teachers have joined courses on 4-5 times. You are reading everything. You are reading so much that you have a scratch on your head. One thing is said, there are no questions on two sides. There are two boats running. If you keep one foot on one boat, then you will fall into the sea. You will be disbalanced. You have to choose one resource. Anyone resource that you are confident about. It can be any teacher, it can be any book. Just refer to that one source. Be confident that you understand those resources. Demo is available everywhere. If you go to our website also. If you go to our courses.arpathakarwa. You will see that we have demo lectures for everything. You go to the online course and you find so many demos we are giving. This is two trial to trial. In each module you will find trials. You will find trials everywhere. You have to just watch a few trial lectures and see if you like it. Similarly, you can do it for books. Look at the two or four pages of books. You will get to know if you are understanding it. People will say, Peter Barry, read it. If you read it, you will see if you are understanding it. Just because your friend is understanding it. Think about it. When we go shopping. I am just giving you a very simple example. You and your friend both go to a shopping mall. Will you buy the same clothes? Or will you try and see what looks best on your body? I might see Deepika Padukone wearing something in a movie. That might not flatter my body. I am not that body type. I might not look good at all in that dress. Should I buy it just because Deepika Padukone is wearing it? Let me wear it. No, I will wear what looks good on me. Similarly, study from books and resources which you can understand. Your friend might be able to understand something else. Some people don't understand it. For that matter, if I talk about books. I have heard about Peter Barry. There are students who cannot understand it. Why are they still studying that book? Because our friend is studying it. Our professor has studied it. But if you don't understand it, what will happen after studying it? Change the book. Now, the third thing. Say no to social media. For the next 50 days. I want each one of you to cut yourself entirely from Instagram. WhatsApp and any social media platform that you are using. What happens? I will give you a very simple example. Let's say, you decide that you will study today from 6 o'clock in the evening till 10 o'clock on the night. Now, you are free at 5 o'clock. You were travelling somewhere. Now, you thought I have to study from 6 o'clock. I run Instagram for an hour. You started running Instagram. Now, the moment you start scrolling through Instagram, it gives you dopamine hit. Dopamine is a hormone. Which is a happiness hormone. You continuously get dopamine hit. When you study from 6 o'clock, you won't like studying. Why? Because studies don't get dopamine. So, when your body is getting that intoxication from a place, why will your body want to skip it? It is just like if you have drunk a cigarette or you have decided to consume alcohol. Now, whenever you consume alcohol, you go into that happy high position where you are stress free. Now, when your alcohol level will be down in your body, you will come back to reality. You won't feel that happy. So again, you feel like, let me have that happy feeling continuously. That is the reason why you have to cut down dopamine hit totally. Because as soon as you get dopamine hit, social media won't allow you to study. Once you avoid it, totally. One or two days you may feel weird. From the third day, you will get used to studying at this point. Because studies are boring and you can do nothing about it. The reason why we are giving you these animated lectures is we are trying to make it as interesting as we can. We want that to be fun. You will be able to study for a long time. Audio lectures or anything else won't be as fun as an animated movie. We just create animated videos for each of the important topics. You know, you feel like studying. Okay. But definitely, any animated video I am making cannot match the level of the dopamine secretion that you get when you scroll through Instagram. The most crucial 50 days of your life can be every second counts. Every second counts. Many people can say that there are only 50 days left. What will happen now? Let me give you a very simple thing. Today, just think that I have to study for 2 hours. And I am going to complete any 2 novels in the next 2 hours. You can read the summary of the novel. Let's say, you decide that I am Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway into the lighthouse. Complete it in 1 hour. See, in 2 hours you can complete 2 novels. So, in 50 days, you cannot cover as many works as you have to do. So, tell yourself what will happen in 50 days. How much you can do in 2 hours and you cannot do it in 50 days. Just think about it. So, every day what I would want you that you have to do from now no one will have to study at home. Whosoever is going to prepare for UGC next December has to get ready in the morning where good clothes, comfortable good clothes and go to a library cafe nearby where you will sit, calmly without your phone then you are going to study. If your family calls you, then don't have this phone with you. Either have Nokia 1100 in which you can only receive emergency calls from your family. Not even your friends. You have to throw them out from your life. If your friends can not give you 50 days then they are not your real friends. They will not give you anything in life. So, if your friends give you 50 days then this is not right. Because your career is important at this point if your friends get married then you will attend their wedding because those 5 days are very important for your friend. Similarly these 50 days are important for your life then it is very important for your family and friends to understand that this is a very important time of your life and you need it all for yourself. So, if someone feels bad that you are not in contact with each other that you have blocked them then nothing will happen. I blocked my friends in my net preparation and they are in my life now. They are very happy that you made a successful career. Similarly, I know that all your friends are very good they will understand this and even if they don't they will get angry for 2 months and they will talk to themselves. But please don't get angry at them on social media. This is one very very very dear request that I am making. Every day, get ready and go to a library please don't sit on the bed. No one has been able to sit on the bed so they don't have to do it. One thing, today Navratri starts in India from today till 31st December it is very good for you. No matter which state you are in there are so many festivals happening around you. Navratri, Dashera, Diwali Baiduja, Christmas and there is what not. So many festivals happening. Festivals break your momentum because again the same thing in festivals you have fun fun gives you dopamine exam studies doesn't give you dopamine when your mind gets dopamine and you don't get dopamine then it definitely chooses what is fun in front of you I will keep salad in front of you and a tempting dessert in front of you which you like you will eat dessert. You cannot have that salad and you will break it. And I remember a friend to whom I used to give this advice when I was in college it was a time when there are boys and boyfriends and all of that was happening so one of my friend was always attracted towards some or the other boy and she couldn't concentrate in school and whenever the exam came she was thinking about that boy so I always used to tell her see boys keep coming once in the exam so if you study once once in your career then some boy will come in life but if you stay behind a boy and don't pass the exam then you don't know what will happen so just the same thing I want to tell you that Diwali will come every year festivals will come every year only this year if you don't have at least so many Diwali's that you will have in your hand to celebrate you can save so many hours if you just don't invest your time in celebrating festivals only this year I'm talking about you save approximately 45 hours if you don't get involved in festivals and for 45 hours I can't even tell you so the effect of compounding is called mutual funds that if you invest 100 rupees and you invest it for 10 years you save let's say one CR you invest and you save one CR at the end of 10 years now you might think how will I make 1 crore after saving 100 rupees but that is the impact of compounding similarly you might think what will I do after saving 2 hours but if you combine these 2 hours then you will save so much time and you will cover so many topics that you can clear your GRF very easily in the next attempt so that was all about today's video I tried my level best to you know give you the crux of how you can prepare for the upcoming net exam I have not given a timetable which I would be in my next video but for that I want you to first follow all these dos and don'ts that I have preferred you can watch this live once again if you want to make notes you want to make pointers but I am telling you all these dos and don'ts that I am sharing is scientifically researched I have seen students getting immensely benefited from these topics so please don't take it very very lightly I am very very hopeful that you guys are going to succeed if you just stick to these things so with that note I think I have come to the end of this particular presentation I would also want to know if you guys have a few questions I can take 2-3 questions before we end this life so any good guy says great and I am so so so happy that you understand this please please share in front of you if you close your eyes your fear will end but your fear will eat you if you open your eyes and once you start thinking what can I do to save myself from the lion then your life will be saved if you close your eyes your life won't be saved your fear will end that is not the right way to live okay actually panchal says ma'am 3 months off is valid I think actually as far as I know and the conversation I had with my team for the students were going to enroll after this life so I am not sure you can just talk to my team on the contact number and they will tell you literature reader says best teacher ma'am thank you so much mobila says thanks Zubi says thank you so much thank you everyone for such an interactive life sessions and the kind of response that I get every time I come live and the kind of testimonials you guys share after my life my counselling sales keeps on telling me that students were able to get benefited from the meditation thing from the mock test solving thing so I get so happy that I am able to give right direction to your hard work I know all of you work hard but sometimes you work hard in the wrong direction so again a very nice you know example that I remember from Dears and Digi is when Shah Rukh Khan tells Alia Bhatt you know at times we climb the mountain but we climb up and find out that it was a wrong mountain so it is important that the mountain you climb should be the right mountain you know work hard but in the wrong direction so that is even more hurtful if you don't work hard then atleast atleast I did not work hard sometimes you work hard and still you are not able to yield result and that is I think is the story of most of the students in India they don't have things that they should one of the most important one is to revise everyday I think revision is one of the most crucial life lesson that I can tell to any student who is preparing for any examination this can be a game changer this can break your you know I would not say break I should rather say it can take your exam preparation to an all time new high so it's a beautiful beautiful thing and I think everyone should do it so with that let me take your leave I'm going to come live next Sunday definitely with another interesting topic hopefully I'm going to talk about paper one and a lot of other questions that students have related to UGC 9 December 2023 please feel free to put all your questions suggestions any topics that you want me to take live on in the comments below so that my team knows it and we can plan the live accordingly thank you so much for being such an interactive audience and I'm very very happy to be a part of your educational and UGC net preparation journey that's it from my side for this lecture I'll meet you very soon in the next lecture till the time we meet next happy learning keep loving literature and stay tuned to Arpata Karva
