Dear Friends, I observed from the discussion that people who already qualified UGC NET do not like to change the pattern of current examination. And they are opposing objective type questions in third paper. In my opinion, evaluation of third paper in current scheme is not serious and it is too weak. The result is number of winners are very low. How can an evaluator read out all answers sheets within minimum time? I dont think all failed candidates are below average standard. In my opinion, total number of papers should be cut down to two. One general paper and second paper should be subject oriented. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.
