Number 9: How to manage time

All-time management begins with planning Now it is Super essential to divide your time into 3 slots per day: Keep the Ist slot for studies, the second one for revision, and the third for solving the Qs papers every day. Generally, Students invest time for the first 2 criteria but ignore the last. But until and unless they solve a few CSIR NET papers entirely within the time they will not understand the time distribution during the exam. So in the last month at least they should keep this point in their time table. Remember that Revision and practicing questions go hand in hand with CSIR NET exam preparation – If you don’t want to end up in an utter failure in your first attempt even after preparation, then make a habit of revision on a daily basis, and constant question practicing from previous year question papers and mock tests like Toughnet Question bank by Biotecnika or AIMNET Online Test Series by BioTecNika.
