Priyanka: “Overall, UGC NET 2020 exam was good. The difficulty level of the exam was moderate. Candidates who prepared for the exam well would not have felt much difficulty in attempting the questions. To specifically talk about UGC NET paper-I, there were a lot of questions on Teaching Aptitude, Research Aptitude and Higher Education System. There were very less questions on Mathematical Reasoning and Logical Reasoning this year. There were hardly three to four questions from Reasoning. Questions from Reading Comprehension were very tricky. There were good number of questions from ICT section. Questions from Data Interpretation were not difficult but easy. Overall, UGC NET paper-I was a good and easy paper as compared to previous years’ UGC NET question papers.”

Gargi: “I found paper-I of the exam moderate to difficult. I spent maximum time in attempting paper-I. There were few questions, which were repeated from previous years but the language was twisted. Among all the subjects in paper-I, DI (Data Interpretation) questions ate up most of my time. There were five DI questions in the exam and I found them tough. The passage reading questions were easier this year as compared to previous years. There were about two questions from Mathematics, which were moderate to difficult. Between Teaching and Research Aptitude, this time there were lesser questions on research. The Teaching Aptitude section of the exam was easy though. There were about four questions on Indian logic this year. Very less number of questions were asked from Communication. I did not found even one question from ICT this year. From People Environment section, there were about two questions. There was about one question from Higher Education. Overall, as compared to last year’s exam, I found UGC NET paper-I 2020 more difficult.”
