She mainly referred to her BCom books, guides, and content available online. Nazreen revealed that she has done her graduation in Accounting and Finance from DHSK Commerce College.

A sincere student, Nazreen feels that all UGC NET 2018 aspirants should allocate their time to studies with full dedication. She further advised that, “Avoid marking answers in the exam in hurry. It is important to understand each word of a question and then mark its answer.” Elaborating further she said, “I lost marks on six to seven questions because I hurriedly marked their answers.”

Currently providing private tuitions to students, Nazreen shared that she gets utmost satisfaction in teaching Mathematics and in future she wants to make her career in the same field. However, currently, she wants to pursue her PhD with complete focus. Apart from teaching, Nazreen also enjoys painting, singing, and listening to music.

When we asked Nazreen if she has any tips to give students who are planning to take the exam next year, she said, “Students should do thorough studies and solve as many MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) as they can. Also, students should not confine themselves to basic syllabus of UGC NET. Rather, they should gain as much knowledge as they can from different sources.”
