UGC - NET (ENVIRONMENT SCIENCE)

-

Dear Learners,


The University Grants Commission – National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) is an exam designed to determine the eligibility of Indian nationals for various academic roles, such as:


  • Award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and appointment as Assistant Professor.
  •  Appointment as Assistant Professor and admission to Ph.D. programs.
  • Admission to Ph.D. programs only.


Candidates qualifying for JRF are eligible for Ph.D. admission based on an interview under UGC guidelines. However, those qualifying for the "Assistant Professor and Ph.D. admission" category are not eligible for JRF. Similarly, those qualifying under the "Ph.D. admission only" category cannot apply for JRF or Assistant Professor roles.


Marking Scheme:

  • Each question is worth 2 marks.
  • Correct responses earn 2 marks, and there is no negative marking for incorrect answers.


Eligibility:

Candidates from the General/Unreserved/General-EWS categories must have at least 55% in their Master's degree, while candidates from OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), SC, ST, PwD, or Third Gender categories require at least 50%.

Candidates currently pursuing or awaiting results for their Master's degrees can apply provisionally, with the condition of achieving the required marks within a specified time after the results are declared.

Candidates with a 4-year bachelor's degree must have at least 75% aggregate marks for eligibility, with a 5% relaxation for reserved categories. For more details, refer to the UGC regulations.


Paper 1: It covers the following units:

  1. Teaching Aptitude
  2. Research Aptitude
  3. Comprehension
  4.  Communication
  5. Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude
  6. Logical Reasoning
  7.  Data Interpretation
  8.  Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
  9. People, Development, and Environment
  10. Higher Education System

For preparation, I recommend following YouTube channels that provide useful materials and previous year questions:

Unacademy Live

JRF Adda

UGC NET Adda247

PW UGC NET

Paper 2: The syllabus includes:

  1. Fundamentals of Environmental Sciences
  2. Environmental Chemistry
  3. Environmental Biology
  4. Environmental Geosciences
  5. Energy and Environment 
  6. Environmental Pollution and Control
  7. Solid and Hazardous Waste Management
  8. Environmental Assessment, Management, and Legislation
  9. Statistical Approaches and Modelling in Environmental Sciences
  10. Contemporary Environmental Issues


For Paper 2, I suggest focusing on standard textbooks and online materials. Some books I referred to during my preparation are:

  • Catalyst (UGC NET/JRF Fundamentals of Environmental Sciences)
  • Trueman's UGC NET/SET/JRF Environmental Science

Rather than reading too many books, I recommend focusing on understanding the core concepts.

Best of luck with your preparation!

MEGA QUIZ- 2 (10 to 20) Phase contrast microscopes can be very useful to observe the undistorted morphological features of  Dead cells   Live cells  Stained cells  None of the above Phase contrast microscopy is a technique that allows the visualization of transparent or unstained specimens, such as live cells, by exploiting the differences in refractive index within the specimen. It enhances the contrast and provides detailed morphological information of the cells without the need for staining or fixing them. The principle behind phase contrast microscopy is based on the fact that when light passes through a transparent object, it undergoes a phase shift. This phase shift is proportional to the difference in refractive index between the specimen and the surrounding medium. In a phase contrast microscope, this phase shift is converted into variations in brightness, enabling the visualization of transparent structures within the cells. When observing live cells under a phase contrast mic

Classification of caudal fin

  Classification of caudal fin  The caudal fin, or tail fin, in fish can be classified into different types based on its shape and structure. The caudal fin, or tail fin, is a critical anatomical feature in fish, serving various functions essential for survival. Here are the primary functions of the caudal fin: Propulsion : The caudal fin is the main propulsive force for most fish, allowing them to swim forward. By moving the fin side to side, fish generate thrust that propels them through the water. Different types of caudal fins provide varying degrees of speed and power. Maneuverability : The shape and flexibility of the caudal fin allow fish to make precise movements, including quick turns and sudden stops. This maneuverability is crucial for avoiding predators, catching prey, and navigating complex environments like coral reefs or dense vegetation. Stability: The caudal fin helps maintain balance and stability in the water, preventing the fish from pitching (tilting forward or bac
