Yes, of course, it is possible to crack the UGC NET Exam in one year. The UGC NET exam consists of two papers, paper 1 is a general paper, and paper 2 is a subject-specific paper. Both papers contain 10 units each. Marks are not equally distributed among units. There are no negative marks for both paper. You should give equal importance to both papers. Because getting 90 percent marks on one paper without qualifying for the second paper is worthless. Know the syllabus then start study from easy topics. Then you should move towards the previous year's questions to understand the important topics and pattern of asking questions in frequent years.

Some tips for the Preparation are following :-
Spend as much time as you can on preparation. A minimum of 3 to 6 hours is essential in a day. A minimum of 2 to 4 months of preparation is mandatory while appearing for competitive exams like the UGC NET Examination. The most important aspect of preparation is covering all topics; do not leave any out, and if you believe a topic is difficult, try to cover it first. Give the same importance to the general awareness and aptitude questions while preparing the subject topics. Try to collect the maximum number of previous question papers of UGC NET Political Science and try to solve the maximum number of papers.
