 In this video lecture, I am going to talk about some tips which can help you manage time effectively on the day of your UGC Net exam. We know that from this time onwards the exam is going to be conducted online and a lot of students are nervous and anxious about the new pattern. So I am pretty sure that because of this nervousness and anxiety, you might be looking up for some tips which can help you settle your emotion which can help you to feel more confident for the upcoming exam. So here are a few tips which I have put in a form of mnemonics and we are going to look at these tips by looking at the word track time. So let's see how you can tackle your exam in an effective manner by using these tips. The first tip is track your time since beginning. Guys, I have seen many students making this mistake that when they initially sit for the exam, they question at a very slow speed for 15-20 minutes or 10-15 minutes. They solve the paper very easily, look at it here and there, judge the person ahead and they might start thinking about their lost relationship or maybe their recent breakup and then suddenly they have this realization that okay, they are sitting for an exam and they have wasted some precious moments and now in order to compensate, they try to do the paper very quickly because of which they sometimes end up making silly mistakes. So it's important that you start tracking your time since beginning. The second important tip is that read instructions carefully. I have seen a lot of students making some silly mistakes just because they don't read instructions. Those instructions or the examiner who is telling you something or if there are some important things mentioned in the document, they ignore it because maybe they think that we have never read it, so why should we read it now? But always remember, every exam is going to have their own pattern and by reading the instructions, you can understand the pattern and since for the first time the exam is happening online, make sure that you carefully read the instructions because to read the instructions, you don't have to spend an hour. You are given extra time. So why waste that extra time? Why not utilize it and save yourself from making some really silly mistakes? The third important tip is attempt order. Now I've already made a full detailed video in which I have talked about this theory of attempt order. Always remember guys that don't start solving paper from question number one. You need to play smart and you need to follow a strategy in order to solve the paper. Sometimes we just follow the traditional method of solving it from question number one and by the end we reach to the last question. We find that we have wasted a lot of time or we have made a lot of silly mistakes. But if you follow the scientific technique which we know as skim and mark technique, you'll find that you can save a lot of your time, a lot of your energy and you can also accurately solve the paper within the time limit. So always understand the attempt order, type one questions, type A questions, then type B, then type C and finally type D questions. The fourth important tip is that check questions twice. Now I've seen this thing in a lot of students that whenever they find a question which appears familiar or for which they know the answer already, they'll directly jump to the conclusion. It's important that you read every question twice because the examiner who's setting the question paper, he is smarter than you. So he is going to set some traps so that you might answer it incorrectly. So the examiner is going to not only check your knowledge but is also going to check other skills and it is going to mark you on that basis. So please make sure that you read every question twice because sometimes in a question when you read it in a flow you might skip a word like not. A word as small as not can change the meaning of the entire sentence. So please don't make these silly errors even if you know the questions there's no harm investing five seconds more and rereading the question and please make sure that you read it carefully looking at each and every word because each word has the potential to change the entire meaning of the question. The fifth important tip that you must remember is that keep your things handy. You enter the exam hall with a few of your belongings your Aadhar card your admit card maybe a water bottle and there are chances that you might misplace them. Now misplace ka problem nahi hai friends. Problem yaha hai ki agar aap se koi aadhar card mangata hai aur aap ne yaha aaha koi rakh diya. So us time aapko apna exam se concentration hata ke aadhar card doona hoga aur wo paach minute jis me aap wo aadhar card doon nenge us paach minute me aap pata nahi shayat kitne question solve kar lete. Aur ek bhat bada distraction ho jata hai agar aap apni important cheez evaak ho dete. So make sure that aap exam hall ki setting me a little organized way me bathe aapko pata ho na chahiye ki aapki cheez ek kaha padhi hai. Yeh weise toh ek bohot chhoti baat hai. But I am telling you that agar yeh ek chhoti se mistake aap kar dete hai. So aapko baad me regret hoga. I have seen a lot of students telling me this ki haan bhaag bhaag ke exam hall me poche late uthe hai. Yaha phir haan me delay ho gai haan poche ne me. Aur us hard bada hard ke chakkar me haan kuch bool gaye. Yaha phir haan exam hall me dhang se beth ne koncentrate nahi kar pahe aur amara paper bighad gaya. Ma'am preparation bohot achhi kari thi. Now that hurts aapne preparation kari aapne chahiye maine devote kare hain. Lekin exam wale din ek chhoti se galti. Jeh shayat maine bhi nahi rakhti hai uski wajah se agar aapka paper kharaab hojai. That is going to hurt a lot. So I will request you that aap jo bhi belongings leke exam hall me jaar hai. Please usko ek safe jaga pe rakhde. Jis se aapko un belongings ki tension nahi kari aur aap exam me poora concentrate hoke paper de pahe. The next important tip that I would like to give you is that tackle every question. UTC net exam me negative marking nahi hai friends. And that's a big thing. Negative marking nahi hai isliye aap safe hai, aap free hai, her question ko answer karne ke liye. Aapko chinta karne ke zharat nahi hai ki mere marks deduct hojainge agar answer galat hoa toh. So please make sure that aapne exam ko sme jab answer submit kare, usse pehle sabhi answers me aapne koi na koi option mark kiya hai. Because agar aap ek option mark karte hai, 25% chances hai ki wo answer sahi hoga. Ok, 25% probability hai. And agar aap koi bhi answer mark nahi karte, then 0% probability hai. So why not take the benefit of doubt. Please make sure that you have answered each and every question. Tackle every question irrespective of the fact that you know the answer or you don't know the answer. Agar aap elimination us kar sathe hai, so aap eliminate kar diye jhe doh galat options ko, in baaki doh options me se jo aapko sahi lagta hai usse mark kariye. Agar elimination bhi nahi kar sathe hai, so chaaro me se koi bhi option mark kariye, but please question chhod ke mataye. The next important tip is that ignore surrounding. Guys understand that aap jab exam me bette hai, to aap ke aaspaz bahut sahi cheeze hoti hai. Maybe there is a girl shouting or maybe there are some noise coming from the roadside or maybe the fan is working really slow. Maybe there is an annoying smell in the room. In sab cheez wo ki wajah se agar aap bestrat ho jaate hai, so aap un questions pe focus nahi kar pahenge, question paper ko apna 100% nahi depaenge. Aap ke dimaak ka ek bhat important chunk baaki cheez wo ko samajne me, unko interpret karne me, unko analyze karne me apna time gawa dega. So it's important that exam setup me ek hanta you should forget everything in the world. You just need to focus on that particular question which you can see in front of your computer screen. So please remember this important tip that ignore the surrounding while you are sitting and giving your exam. The next important tip is that please minimize your bio breaks during the exam. Bio breaks are the time when you want to go to the loo or you want to drink water. Now we have a tendency that while we are giving the exam we have the sudden urge that we want to go to the loo or maybe we want to drink water. Please make sure you've done all these things beforehand so that those one or two hours when you're sitting for the exam you are sitting without any distraction. You have no bodily urges that can disturb you, that can annoy you or for which you need to devote some time. So make sure that you're comfortable, you're sitting in comfortable clothes, you've done with all those bodily functions and you are all ready to face the paper and you're all ready to answer the questions. Finally we move on to the last tip which is energize yourself. Now guys it's important that while you are giving your exam you are calm and you are tension-free. It's very easy for a student to get anxious or nervous while giving the paper when you find questions which you are unable to answer. It's very easy that your brain will automatically start giving you negative feedbacks but you can consciously energize yourself again and again. You can consciously motivate yourself again and again and an excellent tip that I would like to give you here is deep breathing. I'm telling you guys it's a very scientific technique when you deep breathe even for 10 seconds or 15 seconds your brain cells get oxidized. That means they are charged up. They have all the energy available to work efficiently to give their 100%. It happens that whenever you are nervous or anxious your brain cells get less energy or oxygen. Because of which your brain stops working or it doesn't work at the speed at which it normally does. When you deep breathe your brain automatically gets full oxygen in your brain and as soon as the oxygen reaches your brain cells they start working very well. So whenever you feel nervous or anxious just make sure that you start breathing deeply and within 15-20 seconds you can see a change in your mood, a change in your emotional state and you can see how beautifully you are all set to tackle the next question. So with that note I would like to take your leave.
