If you are a CSIR NET aspirant, have you ever given a thought to What Stops You From Getting CSIR JRF Every Year? Whether you are going to attempt the CSIR NET exam for the first time or it’s a second attempt for you to increase your Rank or get a JRF this time, in both cases, most of the aspirants succumb under the pressure of the vast CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus accompanied with wrong exam preparation strategy.

After an internal survey, We have compiled some solid points on why most of the students are unable to get a CSIR NET JRF. Let’s have a look and work on fixing them.

  1. Self Doubt 

Lack of solid determination + Self Doubt – This combination is a JRF Dream Killer. Self Doubt can be both harmful & extremely dangerous for your overall career ahead. It weakens your willpower, hinders creativity & halts your personal growth.

This is what is holding you from taking that leap to grab the CSIR NET JRF. We often doubt our abilities when we try to make no mistakes, but when we make no mistakes how do we learn? To err is human. So Stop self-doubting yourself

, from now on. Pick up that pen & paper and write down these letters in bold – YOU GOT THIS and see how the magic works.

2. Procrastination

Did you Know? – 90% of students fail to qualify for JRF because of Procrastination.

What is Procrastination?

Raj – Let’s study UNIT 4 tomorrow, I am not in a mood today. Unit 6 is easy to start

Rohan – No yaar, UNIT 6 is very boring, let’s study something else, something interesting

Raj – Right, Let’s take a break, decide & come back.

This is what we call Procrastination. Delaying things endlessly, thinking we can accomplish it later. When you hesitate in doing something, you procrastinate and dive deep into it, and finally, in the end, you lose the opportunity. It may seem harmless at first but can instantly kill your dream of getting a CSIR NET JRF.

If you don’t address your self-doubt immediately it will lead to Procrastination. Which will further lead to low esteem and difficulty in making decisions.

Thus, Stop Procrastinating Today and Start actually & practically working on your CSIR NET preparation. And how do you do that? we will discuss this in the next point.

3. Lack of Proper Planning

Simmi started studying UNIT 5 of CSIR NET. Initially, she was finding it a little difficult to cope with the topics, so she decided to keep it aside and continue studying it the other day. But that other day never came until the exam was just 20 days away. This led her to anxiety & depression and unfortunately, all the efforts put into other UNITS also went in vain.

This is a very common mistake students commit by not planning their day, week & months ahead. If you study randomly, not keeping track of time as well as the UNITs you have covered, in the end, you will find yourself in the no man’s land. Time flies and in order to keep up with it planning is necessary. To measure your study, you need to set time-bound targets and for that, you need to make a proper – practical timetable that you can follow.

4. Using Old methods to study

If you keep doing the same thing, you will keep getting the same results. Thus innovation & creativity is the key to productive & effective study here. Figure out your learning style, you are a fast learner, and a slow learner, if your picturesque memory is strong, you are a pro in learning formulas, flow charts, etc, and then start studying accordingly.

Use unique ways of studying like:

  • Styling from flashcards
  • Colorful Flow charts – Create or buy from biotecnika
  • Use of handmade mnemonics
  • Make your own UNIT wise Formula book
  • Take the help of our unique Koncept tools which will help increase your memory retention capabilities like Koncept Wheel, koncept table, Konceptika Lite flowchart book, and much more. Check the details below:

5. Not Structuring Your studies Effectively

CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus is Huge, We all Know That. If you are randomly picking up topics & Units from the syllabus and studying then the CSIR NET JRF dream will remain a dream. It is very much important that you structure your studies. By structuring here we mean divide & rule the humungous CSIR NET syllabus.

Follow the below steps:

  • Take the CSIR NET life science syllabus
  • mark the important units & topics as per this list
  • Now categorize the important topics into Difficult & easy topics as per your knowledge
  • Plan your day in such a way that you cover the difficult topics in the morning and easy one’s in the evening slot, this way you can cover the overall syllabus.
  • Do not forget to practice questions from every topic studies
  • Once all the difficult & easy topics are covered, you can go through the remaining topics which are not so important and easy too.
  • If you follow this step you can easily prepare for the CSIR NET exam and achieve your NET JRF dream.

6. Following Multiple Learning Platforms

Let’s take a real-life example here:

We had two friends who enrolled with us for CSIR NET Life science coaching last year. Their story goes like this:

Both of them are bright students and have passed Msc with 90+ percentile. They were preparing for the CSIR NET Exam on their own – via self-studies, group studies, and by watching several lectures on Youtube Channels. They also had a huge pile of CSIR NET study materials from various publications & institutes. With access to all these vast resources & hard study, they attempted CSIR NET twice but failed to qualify. Do you know why?

It’s just because they focused on watching multiple videos, dumping loads of concepts in their mind, and referring to so many study materials when all they needed was to focus on just one good & reliable source of information with a valid track record. It was not too late that they realized the mistake & joined Biotecnika and started preparing under the guidance of experts under one source.

The point here is – that during the exam it is you who will be sitting there with your brain recalling concepts. And exactly at that moment, your brain will start recalling concepts from different resources and get confused. The end result will be zero.

The success mantra is – to refer to only one source for your preparation and give your 200%.

7. Depending Only on FREE Materials Available on the internet

With the onset of the Youtube Edtech Era, there are 1000+ Channels that claim to be the best for qualifying for the CSIR NET Exam.

For Example Youtube Channels X,  Y & Z. Three of them have a huge subscriber base, with free CSIR NET lectures being posted the entire day. As students, are highly innocent & under exam pressure, they tend to follow the trend that everyone is following which is to start following multiple youtube channels and attend all possible free lectures uploaded by XYZ channels. You start watching multiple video lectures by various so-called youtube gurus, thinking you are learning concepts but that’s not the truth. You are just confusing yourself and your mind by dumping all the random stuff available on Youtube. This way you can never qualify CSIR NET exam.

The same goes for free study material, notes, etc available on the internet. We advise you to use them at your own risk. Risk of not qualifying CSIR NET JRF. We are not saying don’t use FREE materials at all, some of them are useful indeed like:

These will help you in your preparation but completely depending on free materials will take you nowhere.

8. Following the Wrong Mentor

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey

A good mentor will empower you to see a future for yourself and believes it can be achieved. A Wrong mentor will give you false hopes, just to make you happy for the time being.

Rounding back to youtube because that’s what is trending, and is filled with so many mentors/youtube gurus present, who will make you believe that they are the best, that they are the enlightened ones to show you the correct path to CSIR NET JRF. But have you ever wondered why suddenly there are so many youtube guru’s available? Are they really there to teach you for free? Are they really imparting the correct knowledge, and correct concepts? What do they get, and how do they benefit by providing FREE CSIR NET classes? Think over it and let us know what you feel in the comment section.

Choose the wrong mentor and your CSIR NET JRF dream Will go wooooossshh….. in the air.

Have a clear goal & plan at first to crack CSIR NET JRF & take the help of a strong & good mentor with credible experience in the field, no one can stop you then from clearing CSIR NET JRF with a high rank.

9. Bad Time management

Are you always doing multi-tasking? Preparing for Multiple CSIR NET Units together? Do you find difficulty in concentrating while studying? Do you get irritated & tired often? Miss our deadlines set to complete UNIT & Chapters from CSIR NET Syllabus? If the answer is yes, then you need to oversee & improve your Time Management skills and then see the magic unfold itself. Time management is everything when you are preparing for the CSIR NET exam. The huge CSIR NET syllabus can sway you from qualifying for the exam if you do not plan things & execute them strategically. Make a timetable you can follow, set realistic deadlines, and set separate revision slots.

10. Not Having an I can and I will Do It attitude

A very important point to conclude this article. “I can & I will” – Just repeat it loud 2-3 times while reading it. Feels good right? You feel a sense of strength within yourself. that’s the power it has. By just saying it aloud you feel good, just imagine if you actually start practicing it, you can become unstoppable.

The question now is how to develop a – “I can and I will Do It attitude”?

  • Develop a growth mindset,dont have a fixed mindset.
  • Learn from your mistakes
  • Be careful about what your self-talk, feed yourself with positive thoughts
  • Stop comparing yourself with others
  • Develop strong decision-making skills
