Can anyone list the questions asked for UGC interviews for Assistant Professors FOR English Literature?

Many institutions/universities conduct interview rounds for hiring the right UGC NET Lectureship candidates and the most important part of it is to present yourself in a way that convinces the interviewers to hire you.

Here, I'm sharing some great interviews for UGC NET that you can watch (UGC NET Topper's Strategy | JRF in Commerce with 99.73 Percentile - June 2020)

There are certain important things to keep in mind before you go for a job interview. These will help you to be more confident, positive, and focused throughout the process.

1. Common Questions Asked in Interviews (With Answers) like;
Ques 1: Tell us about yourself.
Ques 2: Why do you want this Job?
Ques 3: What Educational Qualifications do you possess?
Ques 4: What is your Teaching Philosophy and what innovation would you like to bring?
Ques 5: What teaching skills and techniques have you used over the past years?
Ques 6: What courses are you particularly interested in teaching and why?
Ques 7: What challenges are you looking for in this position?
Ques 8: What do you know about our institute?
Ques 9: What are your salary expectations?
Ques 10: Do you have any questions to ask us?

To make you aware of the interview ethics and correct gestures during the job, we have mentioned few important factors below:

1. Greet interviewers with a great smile and a firm handshake. This shows confidence and professionalism.

2. While sitting on the chair, keep your hands on your lap and do not cross your legs. You can either keep your crossed arms on the table.

3. Keep your posture straight.

4. Maintain complete eye contact. And during the discussion nod your head to show that you’re listening and paying attention to what they’re saying.

5. Don’t use words like – um, like, uh, you know, wanna, gonna, cya, heya.

6. Don’t hesitate or twist your tongue while answering the questions.

7. Don’t show any kind of negativity or nervousness. Stay gentle.

8. Show your interests in the job and the profile which they are offering.

9. Don’t lie at any point or fake for anything.

10. At the end of the interview, conclude with another handshake and thank the interviewers for the meeting.
