Successful Methods for CBSE-UGC NET JRF (Paper 1): Teaching and Research Aptitude, General knowledge. Mindset and Best Methods.
There harbors an immense pleasure to write a book aimed at cracking the CBSE-UGC NET examination which is a target for lots of aspiring students and research scholars in the country for the eligibility of Lectureship and preferably with the addition of a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) to carry out fundamental and applied research.
In the current scope of events, qualifying the NET has become more or less compulsory for a rewarding career in research or lectureship in our country. This was a bold step, and many aspirants were ill prepared for the sudden change. What's more, the inclusion of mathematically inclined aptitude questions were a bane of many and was subjected to intense criticism.
In this scenario, many students lay in a precarious position, especially in Paper 1, which includes Teaching and research Aptitude, and General Knowledge. Mere practice was not enough for many, as the Aptitude questions were very new to the aspirants, many of whom are from the arts background with less exposure top mathematical methods. Many aspirants were left bewildered in the choice of the correct method of learning in this section.
I strongly feel that this book can help the aspirants to make this "new" section much easier to deal with. However,
in conjugation, the aspirant must not forget the hallowed ethos of hard-work, persistence and revision!
All the best!
This book takes on a new approach for the Paper-1 in NET. Instead of a large "bank" of questions which the aspirant can practice upon, this book focuses on a few questions of different types and walks the aspirant through the solution in a very detailed way. This is done so as to increase the conceptual understanding of the aspirant. This method of learning is retained much better, and increases the problem solving capabilities of the aspirants in a more impactful way.

About the author
Bishnu Goswami
53 books3 followersDr. Bishnu Goswami is an educator, researcher, cognitive writer, and public thinker who believes that knowledge must be understood before it is expanded, and applied before it is admired. Trained in Life Sciences with a doctoral focus on vector biology and computational systems, he began his academic journey investigating ecological dynamics, disease vectors, and how emerging technologies such as AI can reshape public health understanding.
His vocation, however, evolved beyond the laboratory into a larger question: How do humans actually learn, reason, connect ideas, and transform information into thinking? This question would inform the next phase of his work—spanning education, algorithms, problem-solving psychology, pedagogy, linguistics, creativity, and human-centered design.
Dr. Goswami currently teaches as a Visiting Professor at a State University and as a Faculty Member at NS Open University, shaping interdisciplinary learning models that integrate scientific rigor with cognitive accessibility. He has published research in peer-reviewed journals, served as a scientific reviewer, partook in many international seminars as an invited speaker and built frameworks that support critical thinking, data literacy, and collaborative innovation.
He is also the author of 50+ books across a striking spectrum: from AI and biology to aptitude psychology, abstract reasoning, game design, creative literature, pandemic-era cultural writing, and learning methodology. Despite this range, a unifying thread binds his work—the art of simplification without dilution. His books do not overwhelm; they decode. They do not expand volume; they compress understanding. They are built around one principle:
True intelligence is not complexity mastered, but complexity made usable.
Dr. Goswami’s work is read by students preparing for national examinations, educators redesigning pedagogy, thinkers exploring computational logic, and readers who love the marriage of science and imagination. A polymath in approach and a teacher in spirit, he continues to build ideas that travel from the classroom to the common mind, proving that the future of knowledge belongs not to the loudest voice, but the clearest one.
