TIPS & TRICKS 

1- Make a Study Plan: Once you are aware of the syllabus, make a study plan by yourself. No one knows you better than yourself. So, make a study plan giving more time for topics that are new and tough. Give less time for topics which you feel it is easy. Allocate equal intervals of time for covering all topics. Make sure you complete the target set for each day without fail.

2- Develop Reading Habits: Study regularly and be well prepared with all the topics. By reading various sections regularly, you can build a depth concept in every single section.

3- Clear Your Basics: The clear concept on every subject is the key to success for any exam. You should read the theory behind every concept and have your basics clear for each topic.

4- Make Notes: Try to make your own notes which will help you to revise quickly. If not possible try to highlight the key points. This can help to read important points during the last minute preparation.

5- Memorize Formulas: All the formulas should be at your fingertips. Practice them regularly so that you do not forget them.

6- Take Mock Tests: Taking CSIR NET Mock Tests will help you analyze your preparation and areas you need to improve. You will also get used to the pressure of taking the exam.
