There are 7 key characteristics you want to look for in yourself as well as your Mentors / Teachers if you want to Succeed in CSIR NET:
- Focus on results
- Impatience to cover the Syllabus
- No Hesitation in asking Questions
- Strong follow up with teachers to get answers
- High tolerance for rejection
- High sense of values
- Resourcefulness ( eg Right Books & Guidance )
It you’re looking to qualify you should make sure they check off on the above criteria. If you’re looking to study yourself how you’re stacking up in these areas and pick at least one of them you want to improve. You can write down a quick action plan for that or simply reply to post asking me for advice/feedback. I’m always happy to help 🙂
Results
A CSIR NET Aspirant is someone who is single minded in his/her quest to get results. Nothing else motivates him / her. Nothing else matters. To do the CSIR NET Exam hustle you have to think big picture and you have to be driven by creating significant results from every core well as non core topics. It doesn’t matter if it means studying 14 hours a day or closing spending time watching e-learning Videos – a CSIR NET Aspirant gets things done that drive knowledge for himself and that are crucial for Exam.
Impatience
An Aspirant knows only one timeline: NOW ! He / She wants to find the shortest way possible to generate the needed outcomes. No matter WHAT
Shamelessness / No Hesitation in asking Questions
An Aspirant is willing to look foolish in the name of asking silly questions. He / She is willing to ask for things that others are afraid to ask for. The reason for that is that He / she doesn’t care about rejection or humiliation to some extent. He / She knows that failure is part of the game and understands that you can’t succeed if you don’t go for it. Only extraordinary actions create extraordinary results.
Follow up
This is a big one: A good Aspirant knows that studying is all about asking follow up questions to teachers, Understood the topic ? ask questions, Did not understand ? ask him to repeat. If Understanding is 50% of success – the other half is about being the one person that actually follows up until you understand it perfectly after solving follow up questions..
Rejection / Failure
If he / she doesn’t get rejected / fails in solving questions , He / she’s not really CSIR NET material. If she doesn’t have a high tolerance for emotional pain she will not last out there in the cold world of the CSIR NET Prep hustle. Resilience regarding rejection is a must!
Values
A good Aspirant wants to generate value for his / her career. He / She’s not just in it for a quick buck / Success. Or for his / her ego. She knows that her strength is her fearless attitude toward getting things done and solving as many questions as possible. He / She wants to use that power for good and for something she believes in.
Resourcefulness
Preparing for CSIR NET / GATE needs you to have right mix of Books + Mentors / Guide who can channel you towards Success in these exams.
