Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Competence को 'काम का सेंस' सुनिए; जिसमें काम का sense है वही compete कर पाता है। Incompetence यानी काम का sense ही नहीं, काम करने की क्षमता की कमी। उल्टा: competence, ability, efficiency।

Hear COMPETENCE as 'kaam ka sense' (a sense for the work). Only a person with that sense can compete. Incompetence is the lack of it: no 'kaam ka sense', no ability to do the job. The opposite is competence, ability or efficiency.
