Welcome to EduSure, where our mission is to help students understand and apply the concepts of economics, guiding them towards securing seats in top Masters in Economics Institutes in the country. In this blog, we share valuable tips to crack the UGC NET Economics exam, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
1. Mastering Paper – I and Paper – II:
UGC NET Economics consists of two papers. Paper – I is a General Paper that includes Teaching & Research Aptitude and is a common exam for all subjects. It comprises 100 marks with 50 questions. Paper – II is subject-specific, focused on Economics, and holds 200 marks with 100 questions. Scoring well in both papers is crucial, as sectional cutoffs are considered.
2. Create a Timetable for Preparation:
Plan your preparation journey by creating a timetable. Allocate around 100 days for the preparation of Paper – I and Paper – II. Divide each topic week-wise and refer to the syllabus and booklists available. Make summary notes for each topic to streamline your revision process.
3. Give Equal Attention to Each Topic:
Allot time on each topic without neglecting any. Every subject is equally important for qualifying for the exam. Keep track of the topics you have completed to facilitate efficient revision later.
4. Use Multiple Study Materials:
Don’t rely solely on one study material. Gather information from different books, online resources, blogs, websites, and video tutorials. Diversify your sources to gain comprehensive knowledge.
5. Solve Previous Year Papers:
Spend a considerable amount of time solving previous year’s papers. This helps you evaluate your preparation, identify weak areas, and familiarize yourself with the paper pattern.
6. Focus on Revision:
Devote at least 1 to 2 weeks for revision. Go through your prepared notes and the topics identified during paper-solving. Address your weaknesses and study according to reviews made for each topic.
7. Important Topics for Economics:
Prioritize the following topics for Paper preparation:
- Single Equation Linear Model
- Theory of Consumer Behavior and Theory of Firms
- Growth and Productivity Trends in Indian Agriculture
- Planning and Economic Development
- The Rise and Fall of Bretton-Wood and the Emerging International Monetary System
