Pert Writing Practice Test Pdf: Fill & Download for Free

I cleared CBSE NET July 2016 in Management with 77% and cut off was 64%.Qualified for Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellow.The exam was on 10 July 2016. And it was only on 3rd May 2016, I made up my mind to give NET. I looked at the syllabus of both Management and Commerce and decided to go for Management. I dropped the idea of coaching as time was less and moreover my concepts were fresh as I graduated in April 2016 only. I had roughly around two months and I didnot have even a single book with me. So, I decided to make use of internet resources through hit and trial and drafted my preparation strategy.Since each section contains equal number of questions, I gave myself a timeframe of a month to cover the initial preparation for the exam. I allocated 2-5 days to each subject depending on my expertise and the syllabus. I started with the subjects that required detailed conceptual clarity such as economics and also preferred doing subjects in an alternate order of theory and then analytics to stop getting bored.Also, once I was done with a subject, I gave half a day to solve questions from Question banks initially. But then I reliased they were complete waste of time. It is better to refer previous question papers and attempt questions from then to test your concepts. I divided the question papers in two compartments. I used question papers before 2012 as well as few online tests to test my understanding of individual subjects once I finished them. From 2012 onwards, I practiced the paper with the timeline and as a simulation of real life test. This I did in last 25 days. Practising past year papers helps to manage your time and makes you familiar with types of questions and topics you could have missed. So going through them is must!Also, make sure you make notes as you proceed because there is so much to do that you cannot revisit later , unless you have a year to prepare.To get an IDEA of Exam Pattern: refer to this site http://www.cbsenetonline.in/syllabus/I have put a detailed analysis of online resources as well as my strategy! Hope it helpsUnit I Economics:I started first with economics as it required detailed understanding of the concepts. I extensively used the site Homepage | YourArticleLibrary.com: The Next Generation Library and http://economicsdiscussion.com. What I simply did was to write the topic name and add yourarticlelibrary as suffix. And if some topic did require additional understanding, I watched videos from khanacademy.org or YouTube and I must say they were really useful. It took me 4 days to complete the syllabus with partial understanding. Later in second month, I gave three days to brush through the concepts. I could not find any substantial material on Infrastructure-Management and Policy.Unit II Organizational Behavior:Lots of theories and chances are high that you won’t be able to finish it in one go. So you can complement it with analytical subjects such as Statistics. You cannot ignore this section as every section has an equal amount of question. You can refer to Organizational Behavior e-book by Robbins. However for in-depth study, Just Google the topics such as Motivation, attitude with suffix pdf as well as shodhganga and you will find plenty of material online. Managementstudyguide .com also contains relevant material. One thing that helped me here was that noting down which theory was given by whom. (Appicable to theories of Economics also).As previous question paper do contain questions on matching the theories with respective contributors.Unit III and Elective I HRM:I would suggest combining these sections together as they overlap. With no offence to HRM people and practitioners, I would like to state that I did not like the subject. OB too had a lot of theories but contribution from fields of psychology, sociology made it interesting to read.http://Whatishumanresource.com is a comprehensive site covering all topics. For more probing, you can Google the topics with yourarticlelibrary as suffix. I also referred to K. Aswathhapa book since it was lying at home but I am not sure if it helped a lot or not.Unit IV and Elective III : Finance.It was a cakewalk for me as it’s my specialisation .But for those who are afraid of finance, you don’t need to delve deep into it .Basic concepts and formulas will suffice. Again just Google these topics with pdf or ppt as suffix . Also for topics such as Derivatives, do watch videos from YouTube and Khan Academy to gain deep understanding. Don’t start solving problems for Mergers and Acquisitions, only basic understanding of terms used in M& A (Wikipedia) and concept of exchange ratio is enough . Sites such as investopedia, shodhganga, efinance Management Resources and Information., ncert were used by me.The PPT’s/Videos by CFA institute are also very simple and can be referred too. I did not find any material on Corporate Risk Management and International Financial Management. I referred to my International Finance notes of MBA for cursory reading.Unit V and Elective II Marketing:Kotler, Kotler .Nothing else. It might be frustrating that you won’t get a lot of data online for marketing especially for topics such as CRM, internet banking and export marketing. So stick to Kotler. But Kotler requires a deep reading not skimming. I did refer to consumer behavior theories by reading material of department of management of some IIT( I don’t remember exactly which IIT). I also gave 4-5 days but it was not enough. Later ,I just gave one hour everyday with other subject day.UNIT VI Operations Management:Lots of data will be online and you can refer to videos by the NPTEL (joint initiative by seven IITs and IISc Bangalore) for Inventory control, PERT/CPM, Linear Programming, Game theory and Queuing. I also used PPTs by csus.edu to read about the topics in first part. If you have-not studied these topics before such as queuing, then I would suggest do go through videos first rather than attempting to understand them on your own.UNIT VII Statistics:No dearth of material online. Quality as well as Quantity is sufficient. I used Boston university stats pdf, http://onlinesttatbook.com and Statistics and Probability apart from Wikipedia. Keep on making notes please and study the differences between all distributions as well as correlation and regression in depth. You can score all questions right for this section if your concepts are clear. Also to revise, you can download concise PPTS by adding the suffix PPT to the topic name.To be frank, the second part of this section related to technology was not really my cup of tea. I hated it. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t bring myself to give my best and I left it. Though through some basic knowledge, I did attempted questions and got through them.UNIT VIII Strategy:Sites such as Huntingdon College - This is the official website of Huntingdon College., California State University, Northridge helped. All material and PPTs are available online. There are some topics of which you will never find a good PPT such as Globalization of financial system and services, managing international business or diversity .I guess there are full fledged books on them in library and you can refer to them if you have time .UNIT IX: Entrepreunership and Small Business :Vague Vague Vague. I would advice you to go to the government site of Ministry of micro, small and medium enterprise (http://msme.gov.in/) and look at the structure and their recent programs for promotion of small industries. Read about RBI guidelines on rehabilitation of small industry, New companies act section on rehabilitation and about SICA and BIFR. Try to remember the names of institutions and their year of incorporation and objectives of SIDBI , MUDRA, NIESBUD, SIDO, KVIC etcAlso for Entrepreneurship section, read about the theories of entrepreneurship and about their author on Wikipedia. Nothing substantial can be found online. Rest all to bhagwan because you don’t get to know what the hell will they ask but reading random things on net by goggling topic before sleeping helps. :PUNIT X EthicsSurely, one of the most irritating sections. Go through ethical theories such as deontological, theological, virtue etc. Read Revised Clause of 49 of Corporate Governance and also about CSR rules in India by referring to Section 135 of companies Act. Refer to theories of Corporate Governance such as Agency theory, Stakeholder theory etc. Read about evolution of Corporate Governance in India and various committees associated with it.Again,rest all to bhagwan because you don’t get to know what the hell will they ask but reading random things on net by goggling topic before sleeping helps. : PElective IV:Foreign TradeThis section is really comprehensive and requires patience. It has plenty of material online. I would suggest use WTO original site for all topics related to WTO. (https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/tif_e.htm).You can download it in a pdf form also. To read about international trade blocs search Economic Block, Custom Union, Common market etc and their examples.Read about theories of international trades in globalisation.For foreign policy, go through the ministry official site for FP 2015-2020. Sites such as http://www.exim-policy.com/ , http://www.indiantradeportal.in/ can be used to read about recent schemes by government. howtoimportexport Resources and Information., yourarticlelibrary will help to clear concepts about export documentation, chartering practice etc. For FDI, read about their theories and go through http://www.makeinindia.com/home to get an idea about sectors allowing FDI in India.For Exchange risk measurement, pick up a good book or borrow notes of your peers who have attended the International Finance Module as part of their MBA curriculum. It will save time rather than searching online aimlessly.Paper I: General Paper on Teaching and Research Aptitude: It was only in last ten days that I touched this section. I focused on reasoning, logical reasoning, reading comprehension and DI section as these topics will definitely help you get sure shot answers if practiced well. The level of questions was very easy compared to CAT. I would suggest that solve one paper first to see the type of questions and your ability. I did refer to True man’s book on this section for practice. Try reading online at least half an hour on any topic in the remaining sections .Read GK capsules on Indian Polity, Governance and Administration. Refer to Wikipedia for structure of education in India and also visit ministry of hrd site for finding out about the universities in India and the rules governing them. For ICT section, you can download any beginner guide as a pdf. Try giving half an hour every day since start of your preparation for the vague topics and it will be sufficient. Keep on practising the last year question papers to get an idea about the questions.I will keep on editing this answer to include useful tips as I remember!
