Dear Friends, NET June 2012 objective mode exam was good. I could see happy in all participants face while exit from exam center. The questions are good and capable to evaluate the knowledge of library professionals and students. The questions represented theoretical aspect and practical aspect. Previous descriptive questions were not such type and only capable to test bookish knowledge. I really agree with Sri. Sunny Joseph's comments. You can see no equality in former UGC NET results. Paper valuation is not a serious job of UGC. I still remember candidates compare UGC NET exam as a lottery ticket play. After exam, they pray and wait for result. After the result announcement,few winners became happy and other became sad. And again they try their luck next time. On the way, UGC bagged huge amount. Winners of NET holders in descriptive exam think that former exam system was good. In majority of cases, average presentation and good hand writing decide the winners. I challenge them to apply once again and win NET. In my view candidates with average hand writing could not made impression in paper valuation. We can consider the past UGC NET exams as a hand writing competition !! -- Vimal Kumar V.

UGC-NET-2012-comments
by Sunny Joseph 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Dear Friends, The new pattern of NET is a welcome change. The main allegation of previous pattern was the valuation of the descriptive paper III. In human valuation one can not ensure that merit is always protected. Those who have good hand writing and writing skills can create an instant impression on the invisible examiners while those who have not developed these skills would suffer however they provide outstanding ideas. Nobody can ensure that your all answers are read by the examiners. Further all the evaluaters appointed by UGC, based on the qualification or experience need not be equally meritorious. Valuation of answer papers is a humanly boring work and most of the human evaluaters try to complete it soon and enjoy the remaining days with TA and DA. It should be noted that there is no re-evaluation in NET exams. To my query under RTI ACT, UGC informed that the examiners are provided with no value points. That is the valuation is highly arbitrary and subjective and no revaluation is allowed!!! No examiner can be held for irresponsibility also. Computer can not have discrimination in valuation. It can not reduce marks, even if, the answer is correct, as done by human evaluaters. Every body gets equal treatment and 100% objective evaluation. we get the copies of the answers. 100% transparency. Is it good? The main allegation about the multiple choice exam is that it doesn't check the analytical skills and creative thinking of candidates which can only be tested through written exams. But most of the questions asked during all these years were purely memory questions or testing merly factual knowledge, not creativity or higher order thinking skills. While for answering most of the objective questions warrants analytical thinking along with factual knowledge. for eg. one of the questions asked in the 2012 exam, Assertion : Library Science education is more than hundred years old in India. Here on should know in which period library science education started in India. It can be certificate education or degree level education or formal training. Here thinking warrants along with facts or application information in different contexts. Descriptive exams are outdated because of evaluation problems and world over the trend is for objective exams. The system is likely to continue due to the revenue aspect also which is three times higher than that of the previous exam.
