Analysis of Management subject Code 17 of June 2020 UGC NET held on 30 Sep 2020
Dec 2020 analysis- MUST WATCH
Dec 2019 Exam analysis
June 2019 Exam analysis
The UGC NET of June 2020 for Management (Code 17) was conducted on 30 Sep 2020. The difficulty level of the paper was moderate.
Before anything else, let us look at the Cut off in last 3 exams. The cut off in Dec 2019, June 2019 and Dec 2018 were, as given below:
Cut off in Dec 2019
Unreserved: 61% (JRF) and 54% (NET), OBC: 57% (JRF) and 48% (NET), SC: 54% (JRF) and 47% (NET), ST: 52% (JRF) and 46% (NET)
Cut off in Jun 2019
Unreserved: 68% (JRF) and 60% (NET), OBC: 63% (JRF) and 53% (NET), SC: 61% (JRF) and 50% (NET), ST: 62% (JRF) and 49% (NET)
Cut off in Dec 2018
Unreserved: 62% (JRF) and 54% (NET), OBC: 58% (JRF) and 49% (NET), SC: 55% (JRF) and 47% (NET), ST: 54% (JRF) and 46% (NET)
This time, the cut off is likely to remain same. For JRF you can expect cut off to be around 61-62% and for NET you need around 54-55%.
There were 3 important features of June 2020 exam (held in Sep 2020) for Management:
1. The NTA has started giving questions, which are framed by creating, more than one option correct. Such questions increase difficulty level of question paper. Earlier such questions were asked in UPSC exams, but hardly in UGC exams. There were 25 questions of this type. This is a big change.
2. Earlier UGC exams were keyword based. You needed to understand meaning of a list of keywords and you are ready. Bur now, the focus is getting more and more on conceptual clarity. You need to understand big picture. Students need to understand application of concepts in Business world.
3. There were more than 15 such questions, which required just acumen of business student. The students should easily get them right just by eliminating smart choices.
4. There were 10 RC based questions, which were on “application of concepts”. Vey easy.
5. Except 2-3 questions, there were nothing, which can be considered “out of syllabus”
After every NET exam, we at Human Peritus, analyse, how many questions appeared from Study Material Package of Human Peritus. This time 90 out of 100 Questions are covered in Package of Human Peritus. 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 2020 exam of Management subject. This “question by question analysis” for 30 Sep exam is available at the bottom of this page. This number was 87% in Dec 2019, 82% in June 2019, 90% in Dec 2018 and 78% in July 2018. You can see previous years analysis here Dec 2019 and Jun 2019 and Dec 2018 and July 2018
Overall Summary- Our Advice for 2021 students
On social media, we hear so many gurus saying with confidence that “1 question comes from XXX topic”. Please note that, there are no such trends. If you want to have 100% confidence of cracking UGC NET, you have to stick to these 2 rules.
Rule 1 : Go through every keyword of syllabus.
Rule 2: Treat every keyword of syllabus with equal respect. Nothing is less important.
We update our Study Material package every 6 months. Next updated package for 2021 exam, will be available from 12 Nov 2020, which you can order by following the steps listed on the home page of website (Click on the Green boxes, as per your subject).
Since, there is high focus on conceptual clarity, we advise you to start “understanding concepts”, rather than “learning keywords”. Therefore, you should consider Live Classes at Human Peritus
