Is it OK to quit bank job to prepare for UGC NET assistant professor?

When you like to appear for UGC NET exam and you are working professional then you may come across a question "Should I leave my job for the preparation of UGC NET?"

Since UGC NET exam is conducted every 6 months there is no need to leave your job. You can give 2-3 hours time everyday and 3-5 hours in weekends. Keep weekends to solve previous year question papers.

It's good enough that you can take out this much time everyday for at least 6 months to prepare for UGC NET regressively. Make sure to create a time table and follow it so that you would be able to complete the syllabus and revise it at well.

UGC NET Exam is not very tough that you have to leave your job for preparation. It is good enough to prepare for at least six months consistently. Consistency is the key to success.

You should follow below preparation tips to boost your exam preparation for the NTA UGC NET exam:
  • First prepare for subjects which are most interesting and which you find easy to score. So, first give priority to easy subject and then move to harder subjects one by one. 
  • You can skip 1 or 2 subject which you find very much hard.  Once you cover all possible subjects and you are confident that you are able to score at least 50 in each prepared subject, you can start with subject wise quizzes and check you preparation.
  • Then go for full length mock tests and previous year papers to check your preparation when you face questions mixed from all subjects. Prepare such that you are able to solve such mock test in given time. On an average you will get 12 minutes to solve 10 questions.
  • If you are scoring an average about 50 % then you are preparing well.

Question 1
The number of different spanning trees in complete graph, K4 and bipartite graph, K2,2 have ______ and _______ respectively.
  1. 1. 14, 14
  2. 2. 16, 14
  3. 3. 16, 4
  4. 4. 14, 4
Explanation Question 1

For any complete graph Kn with n nodes, different spanning trees possible is n(n-2)
So, spanning trees in complete graph K4 will be 4(4 - 2).
i.e. 42 = 16.

For any Bipartite graph Km,n with m and n nodes, different spanning trees possible is
m(n-1).n(m-1)

So, spanning trees in K2,2 will be 2(2-1) * 2(2-1).
i.e. 2 * 2 = 4.

So, option 3 is correct answer.

Question 2
A clique in a simple undirected graph is a complete subgraph that is not contained in any larger complete subgraph. How many cliques are there in the graph shown below?
  1. 1. 2
  2. 2. 4

  2. 2. (b) and (c)
  3. 3. (c) only
  4. 4. (d) only
Explanation Question 3

A connected multigraph has an Euler Circuit if and only if each of its vertices has even degree.Correct A connected multigraph has an Euler Path but not an Euler Circuit if and only if it has exactly two vertices of odd degree.Correct A complete graph (Kn) has a Hamilton Circuit whenever n ≥ 3.CorrectA cycle over six vertices (C6) is not a bipartite graph but a complete graph over 3 vertices is bipartite.Incorrect
So, option (D) is cocrrect.

Question 4
Consider the graph given below:
The two distinct sets of vertices, which make the graph bipartite are:
  1. 1. (v1, v4, v6); (v2, v3, v5, v7, v8)
  2. 2. (v1, v7, v8); (v2, v3, v5, v6)
  3. 3. (v1, v4, v6, v7); (v2, v3, v5, v8)
  4. 4. (v1, v4, v6, v7, v8); (v2, v3, v5)
Explanation Question 4

A Bipartite Graph is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two independent sets, U and V such that every edge (u, v) either connects a vertex from U to V or a vertex from V to U. In other words, for every edge (u, v), either u belongs to U and v to V, or u belongs to V and v to U. We can also say that there is no edge that connects vertices of same set.
(v1, v4, v6, v7);
(v2, v3, v5, v8) is a bipartite graph vertices set.
So, option (C) is correct.

Question 5
A tree with n vertices is called graceful, if its vertices can be labelled with integers 1, 2,....n such that the absolute value of the difference of the labels of adjacent vertices are all different. Which of the following trees are graceful?

UGC NET Computer Science Questions Set 2 | computer networks | IP addressing

Question 1
1. An organization has a Class B Network and need to form subnet for 64 departments
what would be the appropriate Subnet Mask
  1. 1. 255.255.0.0
  2. 2. 255.255.64.0
  3. 3. 255.255.128.0
  4. 4. 255.255.252.0
Explanation Question 1
In class B network, 16 bits are used for Network ID and 16 bits are for Host ID part. In subnetting the bits are borrowed from Host portion.

Here, we want 64 subnets. so, we have to borrow 6 bits from host id part because 26 = 64 number of subnets we require. Subnet mask will have total 16 + 6 bits as continuous 1's. in network id and subnet id part.

Binary form of subnet mask is : 11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000
Decimal form of subnet mask is : 255.255.252.0

So, option (4) is the correct answer.

Question 2
2. Consider a class A, Class B and Class C network.
Consider the given IP address and subnet mask
IP Address : 150.157.100.70
Subnet Mask : 255.255.224.0
What is the address of the network in which host belong to
  1. 1. 150.157.96.70
  2. 2. 150.157.96.0
  3. 3. 150.157.48.0
  4. 4. None
Explanation Question 2

If any given IP address performs bit wise AND operation with the subnet mask, then you get the network id of the subnet to which the given IP belongs.

If IP address = 150.157.100.70 (convert it into binary form)
Binary form of IP address is : 10010110.10011101.01100100.01000110

IP address = 10010110.10011101.01100100.01000110
Subnet mask = 11111111. 11111111. 11100000.00000000
Bit Wise AND = 10010110.10011101.01100000.00000000

Binary form of network address is : 10010110.10011101.01100000.00000000
Deciaml form of network address is : 150.157.96.0
Therefore, Nid = 150.157.96.0

So, option (2) is the correct answer.

Question 3
3. Subnet mask for a particular network is 255.255.31.0 then tell about Which pairs of IP addresses could belong to this network ?
  1. 1. 172.57.88.62 and 172.56.87.23.2
  2. 2. 10.35.28.2 and 10.35.29.4
  3. 3. 191.203.31.87 and 191.234.31.88
  4. 4. 128.8.129.43 and 128.8.161.55
Explanation Question 3

If IP1 and IP2 belongs to same network, we must have
IP1 BITWISE-AND "Subnet mask" = Network Address
= IP2 BITWISE-AND "Subnet mask"

Out of the 4 options, only option D matches.
128.8.129.43 BITWISE-AND 255.255.31.0 = 128.8.1.0
128.8.161.55 BITWISE-AND 255.255.31.0 = 128.8.1.0

Both addresses belongs to same network.
You can check rest of the options.

Question 4
4. If a class B IP address has the subnet mask 255.255.248.0 then How many maximum host will be possible in the network?
  1. 1. 1022
  2. 2. 1023
  3. 3. 2046
  4. 4. 2047
Explanation Question 4

Binary form of subnet mask of 255.255.248.0 is : 11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000 From above binary form of subnet mask. you can say that subnet mask of 255.255.248.0 will have a 21 bits network id and having 11 host bits.

Given the subnet mask, you can calculate the number of hosts using the formula below:
2h - 2, where h is the number of host bits (in simple terms the number of zeros in the subnet mask)

This network will have total 2048 (211 ) hosts. The first address is the network address, while the last one is the broadcast ip address, thus we subtract 2 addresses, then there can be a maximum 2046 hosts.

So, option (3) is the correct answer.

Question 5
5. If a Class B IP address is split into subnet and 6 bits are used for subnet. What is maximum number of subnet and hosts per subnet ?
  1. 1. 62 subnets and 262142 hosts
  2. 2. 64 subnets and 262142 hosts
  3. 3. 62 subnets and 1022 hosts
  4. 4. 64 subnets and 1024 hosts
Explanation Question 5

3

Question 6
6. Consider the IP address 25.193.155.233. How many bits are there in Network Id and Host Id ?
  1. 1. 24 bit for NID, 8 bits for HID
  2. 2. 8 bit for NID, 24 bits for HID
  3. 3. 16 bit for NID, 16 bits for HID
  4. 4. none

UGC NET computer networks questions set 1 | Internet Protocols

Question 1
1. The protocol data unit(PDU) for the application layer in the Internet stack is
  1. 1. Segment
  2. 2. Datagram
  3. 3. Message
  4. 4. Frame
Explanation Question 1
  • For Application, Presentation and Session layers, the PDU is message
  • For Transport layer, PDU is segment for TCP and datagram for UDP
  • For Network layer, PDU is packet
  • For Datalink layer, PDU is frames
  • For physical layer, PDU is stream of bits
The Protocol Data Unit for Application layer in the Internet Stack (or TCP/IP) is called Message.

Option 3 is correct answer


Question 2
2. Which of the following transport layer protocols is used to support electronic mail?
  1. 1. SMTP
  2. 2. IP
  3. 3. TCP
  4. 4. UDP
Explanation Question 2

There are three primary TCP/IP protocols for E-Mail management:
  • Post Office Protocol (POP)
  • Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
  • Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
They all are Application Layer Protocols

Once a client connects to the E-mail Server, there may be 0(zero) or more SMTP transactions. If the client has no mail to send, then there are no SMTP transactions. Every e-mail message sent is an SMTP transfer.

SMTP is only used to send (push) messages to the server.
POP and IMAP are used to receive messages as well as manage the mailbox contents(which includes tasks such as deleting, moving messages etc.).

E-mail uses SMTP as application layer protocol. TCP and UDP are two transport layer protocols. SMTP uses TCP as transport layer protocol as TCP is reliable.

Option 3 is correct answer


Question 3
3. In the IPv4 addressing format, the number of networks allowed under Class C addresses is
  1. 1. 214
  2. 2. 27
  3. 3. 221
  4. 4. 224
Explanation Question 3

We have total 32 bits in the IPV4 network
  • Class A = 8 network bits + 24 Host bits
  • Class B = 16 network bits + 16 Host bits
  • Class C = 24 network bits + 8 host bits
  • Class D (multicast)
For class C address, size of network field is 24 bits. But first 3 bits reserved for the network id. So, first 3 bits are fixed as 110; hence total number of networks possible is 221.

Option 3 is correct answer

Reference : IPv4 addressing - Classful addressing


Question 4
4. A layer-4 firewall ( a device that can look at all protocol headers up to the transport layer) CANNOT
  1. 1. block HTTP traffic during 9:00PM and 5:00AM
  2. 2. block all ICMP traffic
  3. 3. stop incoming traffic from a specific IP address but allow outgoing traffic to same IP
  4. 4. block TCP traffic from a specific user on a specific IP address on multi-user system during 9:00PM and 5:00AM
Answer 1

Option 1 is correct answer


Question 5
5. Packets of the same session may be routed through different paths in:
  1. 1. TCP, but not UDP
  2. 2. TCP and UDP
  3. 3. UDP, but not TCP
  4. 4. Neither TCP nor UDP
Explanation Question 5

Routing happens in Network layer and hence has no dependency with the the transport layer protocols TCP and UDP. The transport layer protocol- whether TCP or UDP is hidden to the router and the routing path is determined based on the the network configuration at the time and hence can change even during a session. Packets of same session may be routed through different routes. Most networks don’t use static routing, but use some form of adaptive routing where the paths used to route two packets for same session may be different due to congestion on some link, or some other reason.

So, option 2 is correct answer

Reference 1 : Connection-Oriented and Connectionless Protocols

Reference 2 : If TCP is connection oriented why do packets follow different paths?



Question 6
6. The address resolution protocol (ARP) is used for:
  1. 1. Finding the IP address from the DNS
  2. 2. Finding the IP address of the default gateway
  3. 3. Finding the IP address that corresponds to a MAC address
  4. 4. Finding the MAC address that corresponds to an IP address
Explanation Question 6

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a request and reply protocol used to find MAC address from IP address.

When a packet is send to the data link layer from network layer IP address & MAC address of of the sender and the gateway of the network is attached. The MAC address of the gateway is not known to the sender. So, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request is generated with the IP address of the gateway and is broadcasted, gateway sends reply with it’s MAC address and every other PC/Router except the gateway discards this ARP request. So, ARP Protocol is used in finding the MAC address that corresponds to an IP address.

So, option 4 is correct answer

Reference : ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) explained



Question 7
7. Which one of the following uses UDP as the transport protocol?
  1. 1. HTTP
  2. 2. Telnet
  3. 3. DNS
  4. 4. SMTP
Explanation Question 7

Find a list of popular Internet applications and their underlying transport and application layer Protocols.

ApplicationApplication Layer Protocol Underlying Transport layer protocol
Electronic MailSMTP TCP
Remote Terminal accessTelnet TCP
WebHTTP TCP
Name TranslationDNS Typically UDP
File TransferFTP TCP
Network Management SNMPTypically UDP
Routing ProtocolRIPTypically UDP

UDP is a stateless, connection-less and unreliable protocol.
  • HTTP needs connection to be established and thus, uses TCP.
  • Telnet is a byte stream protocol which again needs connection establishment ,thus uses TCP.
  • DNS needs request and response ,it needs a protocol in which a server can answer the small queries of large number of users. As UDP is fast and stateless it is the most suitable protocol and thus,it is used in DNS querying. DNS primarily uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on port number 53 to serve requests. DNS queries consist of a single UDP request from the client followed by a single UDP reply from the server.
  • SMTP needs reliability and thus,uses TCP.

DNS uses UDP protocol whereas HTTP, Telnet and SMTP uses TCP.

So, option 3 is correct answer



Question 8
8. Match the following:
(P) SMTP(1) Application layer
(Q) BGP(2) Transport layer
(R) TCP (3) Data link layer
(S) PPP (4) Network layer
(5) Physical layer
  1. 1. (A) P - 2  Q - 1  R - 3  S - 5
  2. 2. (B) P - 1  Q - 4  R - 2  S - 3
  3. 3. (C) P - 1  Q - 4  R - 2  S - 5
  4. 4. (D) P - 2  Q - 4  R - 1  S - 3
Explanation Question 8
  • SMTP is an application layer protocol used for e-mail transmission. SMTP servers commonly use the Transmission Control Protocol on port number 25. 
  • TCP is a core transport layer protocol. Major internet applications such as the World Wide Web, email, remote administration, and file transfer rely on TCP, which is part of the Transport Layer of the TCP/IP suite.
  • BGP is a network layer protocol backing the core routing decisions on the Internet. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet.
  • PPP is a data link layer protocol commonly used in establishing a direct connection between two networking nodes. PPP is commonly used as a data link layer protocol for connection over synchronous and asynchronous circuits, 
So, option 2 is correct answer



Question 9
9. Find the false statement about HTTP
  1. 1. HTTP run over TCP
  2. 2. HTTP allows information to be stored in url
  3. 3. HTTP describe the structure of web page
  4. 4. HTTP can be used to test the validity of hyper link test
Explanation Question 9

HTTP is the set of rules for transferring files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. HTTP is a transfer protocol that is used to transfer hypertext requests and information between servers and browsers.

HTTP Protocol does not describe the structure of a web page.
HTML describes the structure of a web-page.



Question 10
10. Here some activities related to email is given
FInd the correct match for the protocol used in appropriate activity
A1: send an email from a mail client to mail server
A2:download an email in mailbox from mail server to mail client
A3: checking mail in browser
  1. 1. A1 : HTTP, A2 : SMTP, A3 : POP
  2. 2. A1 : SMTP, A2 : FTP , A3 : HTTP
  3. 3. A1 : SMTP , A2 : POP, A3 : HTTP
  4. 4. A1 : POP, A2 : SMTP, IA3 : ICMP
Explanation Question 10
  • Client mail box to server → HTTP and SMTP( push protocol)
  • Download mail box from server → POP and IMAP (Pull protocol)
  • Check mail in Browser → HTTP
So, option 3 is correct answer

Question 122
Which of the following are legal statements in C programming language?
(a) int * P= &44 ;
(b) int * P= &r ;
(c) int P= &a ;
(d) int P= a ;
Choose the correct option :
  1. 1. (a) and (b)
  2. 2. (b) and (c)
  3. 3. (b) and (d)
  4. 4. (a) and (d)
Answer : 3. (b) and (d)

Explanation Question 122

Legal Statements:
  • int *P = &r;     Here, Pointer variable P is storing address of variable r.
  • int P = a;          Here, P will hold value assigned by a.
Illegal Statements:
  • int *P = &44;     Here, Pointer variable is storing address of number. This is not legal statement. First its needed to assign the value 44 in some variable and then address of that variable can stored by Pointer variable P.   
  • int P = &a;    Here, P variable trying to store the address of the variable. It's illegal. It should be pointer in place of the int P variable.
So, option 3 is correct answer
