UGC NET Paper 1 ICT New Topics on Latest Pattern | UGC NET ICT by Aditi Mam | JRFAdda


Main Ideas and Concepts Covered:

  1. Introduction & Course Updates:
    • Announcement of the full live batch (Ignition Batch) going live, which includes extensive practice with thousands of MCQs for Paper 2.
    • Encouragement to subscribe to the JRF Adda channel and share the content to reach more aspirants.
    • Upcoming special marathons on Logical Reasoning topics: Square of Opposition, Immediate Inference, Mood Figures, Formal Fallacy, and Informal Fallacy, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
    • Introduction of a separate YouTube channel "Bits and Bytes by Aditi" for Computer Science topics like Computer Architecture and Organization.
  2. Focus on Important ICT Topics for UGC NET:
    • The session discusses three highly repeated ICT topics in exams, focusing on memory hierarchy and related concepts.
    • Emphasis on understanding memory types from fastest to slowest, their technology, cost, size, and usage.
    • Explanation that older topics are asked more deeply and frequently in exams.
  3. Memory Hierarchy Explained:
    • Registers:
      • Located inside the CPU, fastest, smallest, most expensive.
      • Made using flip-flops.
    • Cache Memory:
      • Also called Static RAM (SRAM), divided into L1, L2, and L3 levels.
      • Stores frequently used data and instructions using the principle of locality of reference.
      • Cache hit and cache miss concepts explained.
    • Main Memory (RAM):
      • Dynamic RAM (DRAM), slower than cache, volatile, used for current execution and communication with CPU.
      • RAM is divided into dynamic RAM (made with capacitors and transistors) and static RAM (cache).
    • Read Only Memory (ROM):
      • Non-volatile memory storing firmware and boot programs.
      • Types of ROM explained: PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable PROM).
      • ROM cannot be rewritten except PROM variants, which can be erased either by UV light or electrically.
      • BIOS and embedded systems are stored on EEPROM.
    • Secondary Storage:
      • Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives (SSD).
      • HDD uses magnetic storage, has moving parts, slower, more reads/writes, longer lifespan.
      • SSD uses flash memory, no moving parts, lighter, consumes less power, faster but more expensive, less reads/writes compared to HDD.
      • Optical Discs (CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray) explained with storage capacities and uses.
      • USB Pen Drives (Universal Serial Bus) as portable storage, storage capacities up to terabytes.
      • Magnetic Tape Drives as old but still used for archival and large-scale storage in warehouses.
    • Tertiary Memory:
      • Offline storage with high latency (delay).
      • External devices with slow access times.
  4. Concept of Latency:
    • Latency means delay or time taken to access data.
    • Latency increases as you move down the memory hierarchy: registers have the lowest latency, while offline storage has the highest.
    • Access time and latency are important for understanding memory speed.
  5. Motherboard Bridges and Memory Connections:
    • Explanation of North Bridge and South Bridge on the motherboard.
    • North Bridge handles CPU, main memory (RAM), and Cache Memory — the “high-speed” components.
    • South Bridge handles external devices and storage like Hard Disk Drives, USB devices, and user connections.
  6. Exam-Oriented Questions & Tips:
    • Common exam questions about memory types, characteristics (volatile/non-volatile, writable/non-writable, speed), and storage devices.
    • Examples include ordering memory by access time, identifying buffer storage (Cache Memory), and differences between SSD and HDD.
    • Encouragement to revise older topics deeply as questions tend to become detailed over time.
  7. Additional Information & Future Plans:
    • Announcement of a new “Four in One” series starting next week, where four options of a question are discussed in detail, followed by solving 50 related questions.
    • Preparation of current affairs related to ICT, quantum computing (mention of India’s first Quantum full-stack computer QPIAI), research, and education for exam relevance.
    • Encouragement to participate actively, ask doubts, and engage with upcoming marathons and sessions.

Notable Quotes

13:51 — « Solid state drives are lightweight. Consume less power. And that is why it is used a lot in today's time. What this does is that the systems that you all have become very portable. They become lighter, right? Plus it doesn’t have any moving parts. »
17:32 — « You should also ask your parents that this is the ancient time, it is not that ancient, I mean you will get beaten up if you tell your parents that it is so ancient, then parents will say that it is not the time of grandparents, it may be ancient but yes this is also very old. »
26:17 — « If you ask this question wrongly then there is no billiary, then you have to buy Ekva Fina, you are not even worthy of the billiary, then you should buy Ekva Fina and drown your mouth, it is obvious that we know ma'am, here both the statements are absolutely true. »
30:18 — « Whenever we make any processor, our only goal is, what should we get? Let us save the time we have. »
31:07 — « Where we were lagging so much on super computing but now we have come to fight on quantum computing as well. That's a great thing, isn't it? »
