 Welcome back to my channel and this video is in continuation with the video where I am discussing 7 important points that you must keep in mind if you are preparing for UGC net and if you want to attack the UGC net syllabus in completed within a short span. In the last video I have already discussed 4 important pointers and in this video I am going to discuss the last 3. Now before we move on to the last 3 pointers I would like to tell you that there's a short gift that I have given to all the best comments that I have picked up in my last video and I have given a shout out to all these best comments on all my social media platforms. So if you have not followed me yet on the social media platform the links are given in the description below and do follow me and see who are the people who have been rewarded for the best comments. Also at the same time I would like to tell you that it is important to go to the last video and just have a short recap on what we have learned. The first point that I discussed in the last video was the importance of making notes. The second point that I discussed was what should be your approach when you are tackling paper 1 and paper 2 and how your approach to tackle different topics of each paper are important because your approach is what is going to give you extra marks. The third point as we all know I have been focusing from a lot of my videos is the importance and power of focus. So it is only through focus we understood that you can get your target that you can be consistent in your preparation and how consistency can help you achieve the dream job that you are looking forward to do. The fourth and final point we discussed in the last video was about how you need to practice MCQs every day if you want to stand high in your degree on the day of the exam and why is MCQ practicing so important because we realize the fact that on the day of the exam it is MCQs that you have to face. So even if you have done a lot of theoretical reading and if you have not yet practiced MCQs then you might find yourself lacking somewhere on the day of the exam. It is only by practicing what will be asked on the day of the exam you get it right. So make sure that you practice 20 MCQs from paper 1 and 20 MCQs from paper 2 every single day. And can you believe how many MCQs will you be able to solve in 3 months if you follow this practice? So if we calculate 20 MCQs for 30 days that gives us 600 MCQs and 600 into 3 months gives us 1800 MCQs. This is only the number of MCQs you will do for one paper. So if you total 1800 and 1800 that is 3600 questions you would be able to tackle before the exam. And on the day of the exam you just have to solve another 150 questions. So a person who has already solved 3600 questions can you see what kind of confidence he would be having when he would be sitting in front of the computer screen tackling the question paper. So I wish you that kind of confidence and I wish you all the best for the exam. So now without any further delay let's jump right into the topic and let's see what are the 3 missing components that is going to complete the 7 part wheel that can ensure your success on the day of UGC net exam. The fifth component which forms the part of that wheel is time management. I know that most of you who are watching my videos they are either working professionals or there are students who are enrolled in masters and who are trying to balance how to tackle all the responsibilities at the college and simultaneously prepare for UGC net. So for all those people who want to know how you can manage your entire day I would like to tell you that balance is the key one without the other is a lost proportion. So if you are trying to prepare for a competitive exam make sure that you make yourself realize that there is sufficient amount of time that you have with you using which you can fulfill all the other responsibilities. For example if you decide that I would be studying for UGC net for 6 hours every day if you look at 6 hours you might find that you still have 18 hours in hand when you can fulfill all the other responsibilities that you have with you. So it's not that you don't have enough time it's the only thing that you don't know how to manage your time that is extremely important. So make sure that when you are preparing for a competitive exam you give enough time to your preparation and also you give time to all the other aspects of your life. Make sure you meditate every day you give time for your physical exercise be it 15 minutes but make sure your body feels rejuvenated make sure you spend some quality time with your friends and family also for half an hour you might talk to your best friend for half an hour and next day you might speak to your mother for half an hour and have a very fulfilling conversation and that is how you are not going to feel as if you are making yourself suffer. Preparation should be a beautiful journey only when the preparation is beautiful the outcome the achievement that you are going to get is going to make even more value. So make sure you study happily and also give time to all the other aspects of your life. The next important component which most of the toppers speak about is a mentor. Now we all know what is the syllabus and what are the books that we can refer in order to complete that syllabus but still you might be feeling at times that you don't know how to tackle a particular topic what to study, what not to study you might find that a particular concept or a particular topic is not making any sense to you this is where the mentor is going to play a very crucial role so make sure that when you are preparing for exam you have a mentor or teacher who can guide you about what to study what not to study there is a mentor who can actually solve all your doubts and there is a mentor who can tell you how you have to approach a particular topic and who can explain you the topic so beautifully that you don't have to invest a lot of time looking it on Google or maybe reading a lot of books in order to understand the concept the role of a mentor or role of a teacher is to explain the topic so simply to simplify it to that level that you get it in 15 minutes a topic for which you might have to sit and struggle for 6 hours or 7 hours the mentor can actually explain that to you in 15 minutes and that is what we are trying to do in our online course so if you look at our online course you will find that we are trying to simplify each and every topic like literary theory literary criticism all the works of major writers in such a simple format that you don't have to struggle reading all these long summaries or go through all these long PDFs you just need to put your headphones listen to the lecture, absorb it and once you are done you feel that ok, I am so confident about that particular writer and all his works so that is how a mentor is going to make the challenge drift away from your preparation and can help you make this journey even more beautiful the last and the most important component which I would like to talk about before we end this video is our ability to handle failures guys we all have a fear of failure bubbling inside us whenever we think about not qualifying this exam and because of this fear of failure we are not able to perform the way we should there are a lot of students who regularly call our counsellors and share their worries that ma'am we are preparing so much what will happen if we fail ma'am my life will stop if I work so hard and this exam is not clear ma'am I can't even think of giving the exam I feel if it's not then how am I going to face my parents ma'am I won't be able to do anything in my life if I haven't cleared this exam and so many other questions bubbling in their head and if you write all these questions and go to their roots then you will know that only one thing is stopping you and one thing is creating so much anxiety in you and that one thing is fear of failure yesterday night I watched a very very nice movie which I would like to share with all of you and I would like to see all of you hitting the cinema hall and watching that movie and learning something from it the movie was Chachore directed by the director of Dungal it is having Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor as the main lead characters and it's a beautiful movie showcasing how we Indians have never equipped ourselves to handle failures we all work very hard in life to achieve a goal but during that journey we attach ourselves so much with that goal that even the thought of not getting what we are trying to achieve shatters us and shatters us like hell in that movie there's the son who prepares for JEE exam son of Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor preparing for JEE exam and when he finally finds out that he has not cleared that exam he jumps off from building just because he can't live with the tag I am a loser he feels that if he doesn't clear the exam then he won't be able to do anything in life and towards the end of the movie he decides to go to another college and he says a very beautiful line that life is all about living there is no purpose for life the beauty of life isn't living that life and the journey needs to be beautiful not the destination it's not about whether we clear net or not it's about we love the journey of preparing for this exam when you are looking at different topics which you have never heard of or which were alien to you and you are trying to understand that and finally you were able to get something out of it that is what makes the journey beautiful we don't need to attach ourselves to the fact of winning this exam to the fact of qualifying this exam it's more important to enjoy the journey make sure that you don't feel that you will be a loser if you will not be able to qualify this exam I have seen a lot of students calling our counselling cell everyday saying that it's getting very exciting what if there is no exam what will happen what if I didn't study what will happen if I don't perform in the exam as much as I am working hard so if you look at all these questions and you try to look at the root the root would be fear of failure we cannot think if we will lose despite all the hard work I am really really really looking forward to see all of you watching this movie and understanding the fact that a loser is not the one who is not able to win a loser is the one who doesn't give his best Steve Jobs has an amazing line which I always say to students that today you should decide to do the best work of your entire life that's it it's not the outcome it's about the journey if you study your best that is what you should appreciate yourself for it's not that whether you are going to win the exam or not there are a lot of challenges in life such exams that you might not be able to clear but how long we will be afraid of this fact how long we will be running let's face it winning is important losing is equally important winning is going to give you a life lesson and winning and losing both is going to give you a life lesson that is what you need to change in yourself it's not the destination it's not the goal it's the journey towards that goal that makes it beautiful so make sure you start embracing success as well as failures equally and start appreciating yourself for the phenomenal person you are I wish you a very very cool and calm study period and I wish you all the best for the upcoming net exam if you are facing any definitive challenge while you are preparing for this exam make
