Many of my connections here asked me to guide about the UGC NET JRF examinations so I thought to make a detailed list of all sources I used during my preparation.
I hope this will help all those who want to prepare for this exam without opting for any subscription of any platform.
Feel free to ping me if you have any queries, I will try to reply to your queries ASAP.
For Paper- 1 General Paper on Teaching & Research Aptitude
Please purchase any book for UGC NET Paper 1, I personally used KVS Madan for my paper 1 preparation and practice. Below there are links to resources I used for my preparation. One tip I want to give is to prepare your handwritten notes on A4 sheets so if you want to add something later on, you could just attach a paper in between the sheets. After completing any unit try to solve KVS Madan questions to see where you're lagging in your preparation and also keep in mind KVS Madan is a long book which contain many questions, and you always not need to know all the answer so if you are unable to solve many questions don't bother. Just focus on questions which are previously asked in UGC NET examinations.
You should install UGC NET Mock Test app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applications.koushik.ugcnetpractice&hl=en_IN&gl=US&pli=1 ) it will provide you all previous year question papers and also unit wise questions. It will surely boost your preparation. App charges some amount to access their content which is in my understanding worth it.
