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.
