 friends welcome to my channel I am Arpita Karwa and in this video I'm going to talk about certain blunders that students make in the last one month of their preparation time for UGC Net examination. So guys we know that less than a month is left for UGC Net exam May 2021 and this is the most crucial time for any aspirant. Moreover what is important here to understand is that this is a time where anxiety and panic takes over. So your heart beats would rise and you would feel as if this is a race against time. Amist all of this it is very important to be aware of certain blunders that usually students make during this period which stops them from clearing this exam. In the last video I spoke about this counseling cell that we have in our organization under which we provide free counseling to any student out there who is facing any kind of life issues and we were surprised to receive so many calls in last 15 days that all our counselors were totally occupied answering the queries and questions of these students and solving their doubts and making them a plan which would work for them. But amist all of this when I was sitting with my counselors and discussing about the kinds of call we are getting these days we were surprised to know that almost all students were facing this similar issues. So when we sat down we actually got a list of issues that students are facing and when we narrowed it down we figured out that almost all these students are making certain blunders. So I thought that why not make a video about these blunders and tell all of you that you need to be aware of these blunders. So in this video I am going to talk about some really important facts make sure you listen to the video till the end. On top of that always understand that students ask us that what is the right strategy to prepare but at the same time you need to be aware of what is going wrong in your entire strategy because no matter how good you are preparing if you are making these blunders that's of no use it's just like the simple analogy of a tank. So imagine a water tank you are pouring filled purified water every day into that tank but there is a hole towards the end of the tank and whatever you are pouring that is going out of that hole. Now what's the use no matter how much effort you put to fill the tank the tank will never get filled because of that hole. So this video is about rectifying those holes in your preparation which is stopping you from clearing UGC net examination. The very first tip that I would like to give each one of you out there is that please stop multitasking in this last one month. I have seen a lot of students making this mistake they are studying they are revising in this last one month while they are scrolling through instagram while they are replying to their friends on whatsapp please ensure that your phone is kept aside during your study time ensure that you don't keep any of these devices that will distract you in your study room that is very important guys you have to understand that your mobile is not going anywhere it will come back after a month your friends your instagram followers are there you can catch up from that particular time but right now it's not the right time just focus on your studies keep all these things aside and not just this even if your mom is telling you to bring some veggies from the market or bring some cheese from the market ensure that you tell her that this last one month is very crucial in sub cheezo se door rahi hai aapko distractions ko cut down karna ho ga you cannot avoid distractions you have to completely remove them from your life if you want to succeed understand you have to sacrifice these things right now for a better future your friends jinsa ab dodo honte abhi call pe baat kar rahe hai exam ke baare mein discussions kar rahe hai gossips kar rahe hai ye friends chale jayenge apni apni life me set ok what you are going to remain with is your career i have seen this in my life my net preparation me i have completely cut down myself from all my friends abholo kaha kaha hai i don't even know but what i have with me right now is my career and that is what is special to me aapki friends agar achhe hai wo rahenge aapke saath ek maine sub ko bol deejay that you are not available for anybody out there so make sure you keep yourself away from all the distractions apna study schedule banaiye o schedule mein agar aat gante aapko padhai karne hai to aat gante saare distractions se door hoke padhiye uske baad agar ek ganta apne entertainment ke le time banaya hai rakha hai usse ek gante ke time mein padhai ke baare mein bilkul mat sochiye phone pe baad kare apne friend ke saath us ek ganta mein to sif phone pe baad kare ye friend ke saath don't think about studies don't worry about studies similarly jap padh rahe hain to please apne friend ke baare mein mat sochiye usse time sif padhiye stop multi tasking jis time pe jo kaam kar rahe hain sif wahi kaam kare ye think about this if i'm making this youtube video while thinking about something else in my mind maybe my while thinking about that dress that i have put in the mintra card and i wish to order and i'm looking for that sale agar mein ye sochi te wo video banangi do you think i would be able to do justice with the video no right so when i am shopping on mintra let me only think about that shopping experience when i am making a youtube video let me only think about the video let me only think about the points that i want to deliver so that is what is said to be the right way to manage your time so make sure that you don't multi task in the last one month the next very important thing that you must remember during this last one month is environment isolation now what is environment isolation environment isolation means jab a padh rahe hain so ensure that you have a room for your own and you are studying in that room and you are isolated from rest of the world when you are in that room imagine this you have a very small room with a table and a chair and you are only going into that room to study you are not studying on your bed which is actually made for rest and not for studies so every furniture in your house every room in your house has a different purpose drawing room is made for guests when guests come we attend them in the drawing room we don't bring them to our bedroom similarly your bedroom and specifically your bed is for sleeping for resting it is not a perfect place for studying so if you're studying on your bed you are kind of giving signals to your mind that this is the time for sleep so whenever you study on the bed you feel like sleeping again and again because bed is originally designed to give you comfort to give you sleep but if you're studying on a table in a chair you would find that you would be more concentrated while you are studying that is the reason why I always tell my students that if you have a very small room in your house maybe a store room or anything of that sort please clear that mess out and then put a table in chair there put good lighting a fan there and start studying there and that room should be specifically used for studies if your family members are creating any issues maybe there's a fight going on between your mom and dad please tell them that go out and fight please don't let them disturb you but if you have a career of your own you will be able to ease down those problems I'm telling you being financially independent can be the best possible thing that can ever happen to a human being so ensure that you put yourself into the right direction rather than thinking about the fights that are going in your family rather than thinking about you know the fights that are there between you and your boss please keep all of that aside and only focus on studies because this is what is going to change your future so environment isolation kariye us room ke baal laxman rikh ha keech lee jee kisi ko us room me matane jee jab a pad rahe hain inshore that only you are studying sap ke beech me dining table pe baite ke nahi padha jaa sakta hai no matter what excuses you give but that is not possible agar aap ke ghar mein aisi koi jagin hi hai join a study library nearby go there for four hours five hours study there and then come back home and then relax that should be the way you should channelize your preparation next in line is a very important principle that is known as eat the ugliest frog first now what is eat the ugliest frog first we all know that in this limited period of time there's a very very huge chunk of syllabus that we all must be finishing what is the approach that you take when you have to finish this huge syllabus most of the students would try to look at it from the angle that let us do the easy stuff first let us do the small chapters first let us complete the smaller units first this is absolutely wrong brain tracy who is one of my very favorite author in one of his books talks about the concept of eat the ugliest frog first where ugliest frog stands for the most crucial task of the day so every day you make a timetable for yourself that okay these are the topics that I am should be completing by the end of the day today now what generally people would do is that they are going to look at the timetable and then pick out the most easiest stuff and try to finish it first thing in the morning and then they are going to tackle the harder stuff at times they are not able to finish the harder stuff because the smaller portions are done and then they are exhausted so they are going to rest so the most important or the most prioritizing units are left in this particular regard I am going to talk about a theory which is known as the Pareto principle Pareto principle says about 80 20 rule now what is this 80 20 rule 80 20 rule says that your life has two types of tasks some tasks that will help you to be 80 successful some tasks that will give you 20% contribution in your success think about this in this manner that maybe in a syllabus you have 10 units out of these 10 units 3 units are more important or I would say that they are the most crucial units from which most of the questions would be asked for example in literature we have British literature literary theory and criticism these are three units from which maximum number of questions are asked somewhere around 60 to 70 percent of the paper is formed from these three units now if a student is going and completing all the other seven units and not focusing on these he would not be able to clear the exam so what approach should he be following he should be adhering to Pareto principle that we have to work harder on that task first we have to tackle that task which is giving 80 percent contribution in success so with that note I come to an end I would be coming up next week with another very very interesting video so please subscribe to the channel if you have not yet subscribed I am going to actually talk about how you can stick to the study timetable because a lot of students are facing this issue they are not able to stick to the timetable they make a timetable but then that timetable goes into the dustbin they are not able to adhere to it so I am going to talk about a very simple trick that you can use in order to follow the timetable also if you like this video don't forget to like and share the video with your friends apart from that there's a very important announcement that I wish to make there's a counseling cell in our organization which is working day in and day out to provide free counseling to any student who is either going to examine anxiety or is not feeling very confident in the last few days of the exam or is facing any emotional challenge any relationship trauma because of which he is not able to concentrate so if you're facing any emotional setback in your life if you are having any emotional issue that you would like to overcome please feel free to whatsapp us on the number displayed on the screen our counselors are going to get in touch with you and we'll take you through extremely confidential sessions where they are help you to overcome these challenges and move closer to success so with that note I would like to take your leave that's it for this video lecture we'll meet you soon in the next video lecture till the time we
