She credited Aditi Mam&#8217;s teaching for making her Paper 1 preparation stronger, particularly in Logical Reasoning, ICT, Mathematics-related concepts and other areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak specifically highlighted that Aditi Mam did not limit preparation to easy questions. Instead, the classes pushed her to think about questions from different angles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/previous-year-paper\/MQ\/MTE3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Attempt Free PYQs Practice Test Here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Aditi Mam ki classes mein mujhe sochna pad raha hai us question ko solve karne ke liye. I need to use my brain.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of preparation helped Palak move beyond simply memorising answers. She felt that the questions in Aditi Mam&#8217;s classes required deeper thinking and helped her prepare for the increasing difficulty level of the NET examination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She further explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Aapko 360 degree ghuma ke questions ko practice karna padega, jo ki Aditi Mam ki classes mein hota tha.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Palak, this approach was important because she believed that candidates should not prepare only for easy or predictable questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Easy questions ke peeche mat jaiye, because NET ka level badhta ja raha hai.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/courses\/ugc-net?utm_source=website_seo1&amp;utm_medium=blog1&amp;utm_campaign=study_planner1&amp;utm_id=seo_3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14802 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-scaled.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-300x75.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-1024x256.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-768x192.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-1536x384.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/demo-exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ai-owered-2048x512.webp 2048w\" alt=\"Study Planner\" width=\"2560\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>Palak\u2019s Strong Recommendation for Paper 1<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak was particularly direct when discussing where Hindi Literature students should prepare Paper 1 from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Paper 1 kahan se padho?

She explained that the concepts became much stronger through Aditi Mam&#8217;s teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Logical Reasoning mein Aditi Mam se agar aap padhte hain, to mere hisaab se aapka concept itna strong ban jaata hai.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak also said that Logical Reasoning became one of the topics she genuinely enjoyed because the concepts were clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For her, this was an important lesson: candidates should not only study a topic because it carries marks. They should also try to understand and enjoy the subject because that can make learning easier and more effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Aditi Mam\u2019s Classes Helped Palak Approach ICT With Confidence<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak also mentioned ICT as another area where Aditi Mam&#8217;s teaching gave her confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She recalled topics such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAM and ROM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary and secondary memory<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICT-based numerical questions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arrangement-based questions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other conceptual areas of ICT<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She explained that this confidence helped her approach questions that could otherwise seem difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Ek aur topic jo Aditi Mam ke kaaran mujhe confidence tha&#8230; wo tha Computer ICT.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her experience highlights the importance of conceptual preparation when questions are not purely factual.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak\u2019s Paper 1 Strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak developed a practical strategy around areas where she could consistently score.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Reading Comprehension<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak recommended not ignoring Reading Comprehension because it can provide relatively dependable scoring opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her approach was to practise enough passages so that a good number of questions could be attempted confidently.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Mathematics and DI<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak initially struggled with Mathematics. She openly shared:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Maths mera bahut kharab tha. Main roti thi Maths mein.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, instead of permanently avoiding the subject, she worked on her basics. She even taught Mathematics to students younger than her, which helped her strengthen her own fundamentals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For DI, she recommended focusing on core concepts such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ratio<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proportion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Percentage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Division<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiplication<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her message to students was simple: do not allow fear of Mathematics to stop you from attempting the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Aap jo dar rahe ho na ki nahi hoga. Arre kaise nahi hoga yaar, try to karo.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Logical Reasoning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak considered Logical Reasoning one of the most important parts of her Paper 1 strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She focused on understanding concepts instead of merely memorising answers. This is where she felt Aditi Mam&#8217;s classes gave her an advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. ICT<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak also prepared ICT with a focus on concepts and frequently asked question patterns. The confidence she developed in this section helped her create another scoring area in Paper 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak Scored 38 in Paper 1<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak&#8217;s strategy delivered a strong result. She revealed that across her serious attempts, her Paper 1 score had remained above 35.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, she scored:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Paper 1: 38<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She directly connected her Paper 1 performance with the preparation approach she had developed over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aditi Mam also appreciated Palak&#8217;s consistency and the amount of effort she had put into her preparation journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak\u2019s Paper 2 Hindi Literature Strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Palak strongly credited Aditi Mam for her Paper 1 preparation, she followed a different approach for Paper 2 Hindi Literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her biggest recommendation was to avoid depending completely on shortcuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Shortcuts short term ke liye hota hai, long term ke aapke paas mool text hai.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Hindi Literature, she recommended reading the original texts included in the syllabus, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Novels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plays<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poetry<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other prescribed literary works<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Palak, students should develop genuine interest in the subject instead of preparing only to memorise information for the examination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;You need to have interest in that subject if you really want to qualify the exam.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She also explained that deep reading can help information become part of one&#8217;s natural memory rather than requiring constant memorisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Aapne ek baar interest jaga liya, aapne wo kitabein padh li, aapka apne aap ho jayega.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.govtjobs.alertapp&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=app_download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/JRF-Adda-in-your-pocket-app-101.webp\" alt=\"App JRF Adda\" width=\"795\" height=\"265\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak\u2019s Advice: Don\u2019t Skip the Original Texts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak believes that many students make the mistake of leaving original texts because they appear lengthy or difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She recommended doing the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Original text ki reading skip kar dete hain bachche&#8230; usko aap mat skip kijiye.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students targeting JRF, she believes this deeper preparation can become a differentiating factor because many candidates focus only on shortcuts and surface-level preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Palak Improved After Previous Attempts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most valuable lessons from Palak&#8217;s journey is that she did not treat her previous attempts as failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, she used them to understand what was missing from her preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She identified that her Paper 2 preparation previously needed to become more <\/span><b>exam-oriented<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This time, whenever she studied a topic, she followed it with discussion and question practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Main koi topic padhti thi, then I used to discuss it and practice questions of it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She also recommended solving large numbers of questions from different sources, including Hindi Literature practice material available online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her approach was:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Study \u2192 Discuss \u2192 Practise Questions \u2192 Analyse \u2192 Repeat<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helped her connect theoretical knowledge with actual examination requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak\u2019s Advice on Static Topics<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak also highlighted the importance of strengthening static topics in both papers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her strategy was to develop such a strong command over static areas that even if the question was presented differently, she could still solve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Static topics pe aap apni command itni strong kar lo ki wo kuch bhi pooch le.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach is particularly useful for candidates who tend to memorise a fixed set of questions without understanding the underlying concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak Also Credits Her University Professors<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak was clear that JRF Adda and Aditi Mam were not the only sources of support in her journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She also credited her professors at <\/span><b>Delhi University<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, particularly <\/span><b>Dr. Rishikesh Singh<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for playing an important role in her Hindi Literature preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Mera jo qualify hua hai Hindi se usmein ek bada role mere professor ka raha hai, jo main Delhi University se padhi hoon.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She expressed her gratitude towards her professor:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Dr. Rishikesh Singh Sir, jin ki main zindagi bhar aabhari rahungi.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak encouraged students pursuing an MA to take their university classes seriously instead of assuming that college teaching is not useful for NET preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her advice was to identify professors who genuinely want to teach and make use of their guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Palak\u2019s Complete Preparation Formula<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palak&#8217;s
