Present NET pattern

Dear all,

I am of the opinion that the present pattern of UGC NET examination has several inherent basic flaws and is therefore not a better asssessment or filtration system.  It does not necessarily separate the wheat from the chaff.

Being an objective examination with no negative marking, the passing of the examination has become just a matter of chance and not necessarily that of intelligence. UGC has made  a mockery of such an important examination as NET. In trying to simplify the examination, it has only diluted the process wherein any Tom, Dick and Harry can aspire to clear the same. 

Earlier we had Descriptive pattern wherein - the ability of the students to express, analyse in depth and present the pros and cons of a topic, hold on to a argument, language and comprehension skills etc were tested.  The candidates were tested in a credible crucible.

All that has gone now.  Should we embrace such a system??

Dear Mr. Sarvesh

Do you think that earlier pattern is better than this. No because,  according to earlier pattern, those who have passed the library science course long back it is very difficult to remember deep descriptive knowledge. But this new pattern just we should have current knowledge. I agree with Mr R K  is right.

I think UGC must retain one or two discriptive question also...... which should be answered in 300 words or more..........  This is true that one with good handwriting would naturally have an advantage........but it will guarantee the levels of standardization which UGC NET craves for........ Just my view !  But we all should wait for the final result to appear !

I am agree with Mr. R.K. Sir  Because 3rd paper can be solved who have detail  study of library and information science some questions were confusing those who are doing study from last 2-3 year or who have qualified SET etc

ur way of thinking is wrong my friend. Because the descriptive version in the ugc causes lot of language problems, there is no permission to write the exam in regional language , except hindi and english.some body knows the answer but he is unable to present the answer because of language problem. and one more thing is june 24th 2012 net exam is very hard especially the third paper. I hope this type of standard is well

enough for ugc net . this is my personal opinion.

you are right Mr. Sarvesh, i m fully agree with you. Objective mood is not good for the teaching post like Assistant Professor.
