Assam SLET / NE-SLET study plan
Assam SLET / NE-SLET · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 8 hours per week
Subject-specific Paper II (candidate's chosen subject) & Teaching Aptitude
Map the Paper II syllabus: break every unit into micro-topics and tag each as high, medium or low frequency using three previous-year papers
Sit one full Paper II previous-year paper in 90 minutes with no notes, score it honestly and record accuracy unit by unit
Write a one-page crib sheet contrasting the three levels of teaching (memory, understanding, reflective) with one classroom example for each
Draft 15 of your own MCQs on teaching aptitude (learner-centred vs teacher-centred instruction, micro-teaching, Bloom's levels, formative vs summative evaluation) and answer them a day later without looking
Fix a weekly timetable that blocks two weekday evenings and one weekend half-day for Paper II and one evening for Paper I
Your checkpoint
A ranked Paper II syllabus checklist plus a baseline scorecard showing unit-wise Paper II accuracy and your teaching-aptitude score
Subject-specific Paper II (candidate's chosen subject) & Research Aptitude
Complete a second pass of the three highest-frequency Paper II units, writing a 200-word summary of each from memory before checking your notes
Build 60 flashcards covering research types, variables, sampling methods and levels of measurement, and review the deck on three separate days
Solve 40 research aptitude MCQs at 45 seconds each and write the cause of every error in a log rather than just the correct option
Write out when to use parametric versus non-parametric tests and match t, z, chi-square, ANOVA and correlation to the situations that call for each
Take two research papers in your subject and label their design, sampling technique, tools and method of analysis
Your checkpoint
A 60-card flashcard deck plus an error log showing timed research-aptitude accuracy of at least 60%
Subject-specific Paper II (candidate's chosen subject) & Logical Reasoning
Finish the second pass of the next three Paper II units and compress each into a single diagram or flow chart rather than prose
Work through 50 syllogism and Venn-diagram items, drawing the diagram for every question before choosing an option
List the pramanas of Indian logic with a one-line definition and an everyday example for each
Catalogue ten named fallacies (ad hominem, straw man, begging the question, amphiboly, false dilemma and similar) using examples you invent yourself
Attempt 20 analogy, classification and number-series items in 15 minutes and note which pattern types caused the misses
Your checkpoint
A one-page logic cheat sheet on syllogism rules, pramanas and fallacies, plus a scored log of 70 reasoning questions attempted
Subject-specific Paper II (candidate's chosen subject) & Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude
Complete the second pass of the remaining high-frequency Paper II units and list the 20 formulas or definitions you cannot yet recall reliably
Solve 60 arithmetic, ratio, percentage and number-series questions under a 50-minute timer, writing full working for every wrong answer
Reproduce the 20 flagged formulas from a blank sheet twice without prompting
Sit a full-length mock of Paper I and Paper II under exam conditions and mark both sections separately
Classify every wrong mock answer against a named syllabus unit so the next four weeks target weaknesses rather than comfort zones
Your checkpoint
A formula sheet written from memory plus a full-mock scorecard with section-wise and unit-wise breakdowns
Comprehension & Communication
Practise ten comprehension passages, five expository and five argumentative, at six minutes each, stating the main claim and the author's tone in one line before answering
Summarise each passage in 30 words and compare that summary against the options to catch true-but-irrelevant distractors
Tabulate semantic, psychological, organisational and physical barriers to communication with one classroom instance for each
Classify ten teaching aids (chalkboard, chart, model, LCD projection, audio clip, podcast, MOOC, simulation, field trip, flipped video) by the channel they engage and one objective each serves best
Draft a 150-word email to a student who missed an internal assessment and check it against clarity, conciseness, concreteness, correctness, coherence, completeness and courtesy
Your checkpoint
A ten-passage accuracy log with your average comprehension score, plus a one-page barriers-to-communication table
Data Interpretation & Information and Communication Technology
Solve 15 data interpretation sets (table, bar, pie, line and mixed) in 40 minutes, estimating each answer first and then calculating to check
Convert three tables into percentages and ratios and verify that rows and columns reconcile before answering anything
Draw and label the seven layers of the OSI model from memory and attach one device or protocol to each layer
Build a glossary covering RAM, ROM, cache, malware types, firewall, cloud storage, MOOC, LMS, e-governance and plagiarism-detection software with a one-line definition and use case each
Compare two learning management systems you have used or read about and note five features that matter for teaching or research supervision
Your checkpoint
A timed data-interpretation score sheet giving accuracy and average seconds per set, plus a one-page ICT glossary written in your own words
People, Development and Environment & Higher Education System
Build a dated timeline of Indian higher education covering the Radhakrishnan Commission, the Kothari Commission, NPE 1986 and its 1992 revision, NAAC, RUSA, NEP 2020, noting each body's headline recommendation
Tabulate the regulators and quality bodies (UGC, AICTE, NCTE, NMC, BCI, PCI, NAAC, NIRF) against their mandates and the year each was set up
List ten environment conventions with years (Ramsar, CITES, Stockholm, Montreal, Basel, Rio, Kyoto, Nagoya, Paris, Kigali Amendment) and the single issue each addresses
Tabulate five air pollutants with one source, one health effect and the AQI category they drive
Write a ten-point note linking SDG 4 to NEP 2020 targets, including the stated gross enrolment ratio goal for higher education
Your checkpoint
Two one-page reference sheets, one on higher-education commissions and regulators with years and one on environment conventions and pollutants, each self-tested to at least 80% recall
Subject-specific Paper II (candidate's chosen subject)
Re-sit the week 4 mock and one unseen full-length paper, then compare section scores against the week 4 baseline
Rewrite from memory the 30 facts you have got wrong twice across weeks 1 to 7
Run a 60-question rapid revision round across all Paper I domains at 30 seconds per question
Condense the whole Paper II syllabus into a ten-page booklet of diagrams, formulas and definitions you can revise in the final 48 hours
Rehearse exam-day logistics: section order, time per question and the point at which you abandon a stubborn question
Your checkpoint
A final mock scorecard showing improvement over week 4 in both papers, plus a ten-page Paper II revision booklet
