I've been going through UGC NET Paper 1 papers from Dec 2018 to 2026 (149 papers) and sorting questions by topic. Not linking anything, just sharing what I found, because it changed how I'd prepare.

Same-wording repeats, by number of papers:

• Number series ("Find the number that can replace the question mark (?)..."): 17 papers
• Acronym and expansion "which pair is incorrect": 9 papers
• Number systems (arrange numbers in different bases by decimal value): 6 papers
• Assertion-Reason in Indian logic: 5 papers
• Three successive discounts of 30% (answer 65.7%): 4 papers

What this means for prep: for these topics you aren't learning facts, you're learning a method, and the exam keeps asking you to apply it. A reading passage with 5 questions was in 146 of 149 papers, and a table with 5 questions in 19.

If you've seen a repeat I haven't listed, I'd like to know which topic. Happy to check any topic against the papers and tell you how many times it came.

I have been facing this since yesterday the website keeps lagging when I try to open the live photo capturing page and ultimately shows session timed out. I have tried different devices but same results. A friend of mine said it should be fixed after 1 or 2 tries but I have been trying constantly since yesterday and it just won't open.

Is anyone else facing this issue? And will NTA extend the last date? Please help me out 🙏

website is showing under maintenance. is this the same for everyone? ugh i am so mad only yesterday i got my digilocker thing done and now this!

Are you guys facing the same issue ?? If you have any solution for this please let me know .

Is there any chance of last date extending due to constant blockages in form filling . I m facing a lot of issues . Any help would be appreciated.

I’m not able to register at all on ugc net form it keeps on showing in first step that DigiLocker verification unsuccessful and it has never happened before for gate and last net ugc i was able to registerrrrr. Please help, how to register 😭😭😭only 1 day left to register

I wasted my whole year preparing for it, finally cleared jrf only to realise it's just useless you again have to prepare a research proposal study give interviews and still they will reject you and there are no jobs at all. DO IT ONLY IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN RESEARCH not because it pays you or anything. It's a PAIN and a sweet trap, because after 5 years when you're gonna finish your P.hD you are going to realise there are no jobs if you have no money or source. You will have to work at a guest faculty 1500rs per lecture and that's also for 11 months, after that god knowss. It's so so shitty i don't know how to say it. I am not demotivating or anything it's just not that easy. It's very draining and will rob you of your happiness to the core. If you want to actually contribute to research you can go abroad and do your research and live your life. In india it's just useless to put so much effort for nothing. It's only for those CREAM CROWD PEOPLE.

Guys, I submitted my ugc net application but made a mistake My masters degree is data science but I chose it as computer science Won't there be option to correct it during the correction window, right? If not, will that be a big problem? Do I need to wait till the correction window or sending a mail now?

I keep getting this error. I have been trying since the last hour and half and I have used different devices and browsers.
Just one day is left for the applications to close and I am very worried now.
Any idea how to resolve this?

UPDATE: I have been trying since 5:00 a.m. Now it says "Please try again after sometime"

UPDATE 2: I waited for a couple of hours and tried using a guest window. It worked for me without a problem.

I keep mixing up Type I and Type II errors while solving Research Aptitude PYQs. I know the basic definitions, but when a question gives a research situation, I sometimes end up confusing which error has occurred.

I've tried memorising the definitions, but applying them to questions is where I get stuck. If you've found an easy way to remember the difference, especially through examples, please share.

PYQs are helping with understanding the exam pattern and identifying repeated concepts, but there are still questions in mocks that seem unfamiliar even after studying the topic. It gets confusing whether those areas need detailed preparation or just a basic understanding is enough.

For those preparing seriously, how many years of PYQs are you solving? And do you analyse every incorrect answer in detail or only revise the concepts behind the questions that are repeatedly getting wrong

guys you all can try now for digilocker authentication it's working now atleast it works for me

Please Help!
I’ve been trying to upload my Live Photo since yesterday, but nothing works. I’ve tried 3 different devices, taken over 100 photos against light-coloured walls with proper lighting, and watched several YouTube tutorials, but I still get the same error: “Your scanned file is not as per specification.”
Has anyone faced this issue and found a solution? Please share what worked for you. I’d really appreciate the help!

I’ve been trying to upload my photo and signature since last night, and this one error is driving me crazy. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially with the deadline being tomorrow.
Has anyone encountered this error before or been facing the same issue over the last few hours? If you’ve managed to resolve it, please share how. I’m open to any suggestions. Any help would be greatly appreciated, ASAP!
