How to crack CSIR-NET, GATE and JEST in Physics

As Albert Einstein said

    ' The only thing that interfere with my learning is my Education '.

        

         Learning process does not exist in our system of education where one always prepare for the exams throughout the academic term.  Which kills natural learning ability and creativity.

         Annual/semester examinations which we have gone throughout our student career promoted convergent thinking, while competitive exams like CSIR/GATE and JEST needs divergent thinking. One should able to solve any questions independently for these exams. 

         Method of guessing the questions and by-hearting might have worked in annual and semester exams. But won't work for these exams. Unless you learn the subject you can't qualify these exams.

         Most of the aspirants start preparation for NET/GATE by solving old question papers or some study materials. But that is not actual learning process. As Sir. Ken Robinson quote, “Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests”.

         The best way to learn Physics is by solving standard books, discussing concepts with others and teaching others. A strong mathematical thinking is needed to learn advanced physics.

         In this article I tried to put forward my method of learning Physics along with some suggestions for CSIR-NET, GATE aspirants.

Note:

• Don't think of exam while learning Physics. 
• Avoid by-hearting start thinking. By-hearting won't work for these exams.
• DO NOT GUESS THE QUESTIONS.

Reference books:

1. 'Introduction to Quantum Mechanics' by Griffiths.

2. 'Quantum Mechanics Concepts and Applications' by Zettili.

3. 'Introduction to Electrodynamics' by Griffiths.

4. 'Classical Mechanics' by Goldstein.

5. 'Higher Engineering Mathematics' by B. S. Grewal.

6. 'Mathematical Methods for Physicists' by Arfken and Weber.

7. 'Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics' by F. Reif.

8. 'Introduction to Atomic Spectra' by H. E. White.

9. 'Solid State Physics' by Ashcroft and Mermin.

10. 'Introductory Nuclear Physics' by Kenneth S. Krane.

        In this blog I am going to discuss concepts of Physics along with solutions to the problems from above books. And I am sure that the students can solve any problems in exam if they study these books. Also it will be helpful to have bright career in Physics.
