Analysis of Commerce subject Code 08 - June 2019 Paper
The NTA conducted UGC NET in Commerce subject on 26 June 2019. The level of difficulty of paper was above average.
We request you to view the video given at the bottom of this page. This is 45 minutes video and discusses everything about; how to prepare, expected cut off, how many questions were from which topic in June 19, what to do on exam day, time management etc. Please note that it is not 30,000 feet overview, but detailed topic by topic analysis of every keyword of syllabus.
Therefore our advise is- please sit patiently for 45 minutes with a pen and paper.
There is another similar 1 hour video on Paper 1, which will guide you, how to score 45 out of 50 in Paper 1.
After every NET exam, we at Human Peritus, analyse, how many questions appeared from Study Material Package of Human Peritus. Since, syllabus got changed, this time, we expected that, the coverage will not be above 70%. But, after analyzing Commerce paper of 26 June 2019, we have found that, this time, 93% of Paper is from Human Peritus material. Yes, if someone would have studied only from Human Peritus Package (and nothing else, no other book, no previous paper), She/he would have easily scored above 90% in June 19 exam of Commerce subject. Although Legal aspects and Income tax are new topics, 19 out of 20 questions, are from our study material. Similarly, the coverage is very high for all other topics.
Next updated package for June 2020, will be available from 15 Dec 2019, which you can order, by following the steps listed on the website. You can also join Classroom Coaching. Details are given on the home page- Click on Blue Box written Commerce Code 08.
