Logical reasoning questions in UGC NET: Urgently Needs Improvement!
Questions asking for definition or true/false of statements can get very tricky and ambiguous. For e.g. the statement "A cogent argument must be inductively strong." asked in 2012 UGC-NET is in fact true, while the answer key identifies it as false. Questions from this section are seemingly being prepared by a group who refer some unheard of books -presumably authored in-house and flimsy. Compare with Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning sections of GRE; no-nonsense straightforward and non-ambiguous;it's high time for UGC question setters to remove ambiguity from the test.
Bottom line: Attempt questions that you are very sure of. Questions based on Venn diagrams are very elementary and candidates should definitely attempt those. Never attempt tricky questions asking for definition/declare "true or false" of some definitions etc.
