JNU 2018 Eligibility Criteria- M.A. in Politics (with specialization in International Studies) Candidates need to have completed their graduation in any discipline under 10+2+3 education pattern. Candidates must have obtained at least 50% marks in the qualifying degree examination. How to prepare? Firstly, it is important to practice writing answers, as JNU changed the pattern of the question paper for this subject this year. I appeared for this exam this year, so there was a passage to attempt and three questions. Given the limits on the pages, it is important to be very precise, and quality oriented. You can't afford even a single line of random rambling. Secondly, follow the newspapers, and do read editorials of newspapers like the Hindu. Thirdly, read some basic books like Political theory by OP Gauba and Oxford Companion to Politics, as well as Global Politics by Andrew Heywood, but make sure you read selectively, since no one can memorise the entire set of books, so focus on concepts and do quote some good authors to prove your arguments in the answers, but be original and analytical in your ideas. It is very important to learn to connect the theory with the practical part that is happening around us. Structuring your answer properly is very important, so shortlist some topics from current affairs as well as go through previous years question papers and start writing two questions each day, and you will gradually improve at this. Wish you luck!
