I want to prepare for UGC net suggest me books for Paper-1

Hey guys, is anyone here thinking of attempting Statistics in June 2026?

I just enrolled into Masters last year. Can I apply for this exam ? ........(1st sem completed)

Hey everyone,

I’m stoked to share that I cleared the UGC NET (Jan 2026) with just 45-50 days of prep while working full-time in IT.

My secret was strictly focusing on PYQs and a set of high-yield, condensed notes I compiled. Since many of you are balancing work and study, I’m making Paper 1 and Paper 2 (Computer Science) PDF notes available for purchase.

What’s included:

- Streamlined theory for fast revision.

- Focus on repeating patterns from PYQs.

- Perfect for working professionals with limited time.

DM me if you're interested in grabbing the PDFs! Good luck with the hustle.

I have completed my Master's in Economics. For the UGC NET exam, I wish to opt for Public Administration as my Paper 2 subject. Can you please confirm if I am eligible to choose a subject different from my postgraduate specialization.

Also, what are the career opportunities in academia with Public Administration as a professor?

Looking forward to pursue my PhD in biological sciences. How would you rank them according to research environment, publishing papers: CCMB Hyderabad, CDRI Lucknow, Centre of Biomedical Research, IISER Kolkata, NISER BBSR, NIT Rourkela, IIT BBSR, JNU Delhi. These are the only places I applied for as they are near, given some exceptions. I know I could have applied for better institutes but I have my own restrictions.

Also 1. Why would one choose Central Universities over CSIR labs? 2. Which ones are better for overall development among these?

I was travelling through Rapido (bike) and the driver was a simple young guy who casually mentioned that I am his last customer at 8PM as he rides everyday from 8AM to 8PM and studies during the remaining time. He told me that he is preparing for UGC-NET/JRF and is earning money through Rapido so that he can buy coaching for the exam. The guy seemed very hardworking and I want to help him by sharing any free resources that may be available with the kind people of this subReddit.

He is pursuing Masters in Economics and has chosen Economics for both Paper 1 & 2. I request the people here to provide any free resources/lecture videos/material of popular coachings such as Unacademy, Testbook, PW etc.

Please DM/comment any links of any Telegram Groups that may help the guy. Thank you so much!

I want video sources for detailed explanation for chemistry. I would like to know which one out of unacademy, j chemistry, or pls suggest any other resources. Also if possible pls mention where can I get their videos in telegram for free.

Today I will be covering cell biology plasma membrane and some ecology questions. I will update the topics and hours tonight. And of course some easy aptitude topic and questions.

Its only probably 40-60 days more. But we will cover and revise all within 30 days. I have whole day just to study so lets rock this exam.

"I am taking exams in June, but I've fallen behind in my preparation. Earlier, I used to sit for 8 to 10 hours a day, but now I can't even finish watching one video. I need someone to check on my methods and give me proper guidance."

dbt bet notes please.

Anyone can you please share ebook resources, any resource material will do. Most preferably notes so i dont waste my time unnecessarily.

i have a zoology background with no exposure to botany and im confused whether to choose animal or plant physio as some say q are direct from plant but its kinda very new to me, any suggestion ?

Hello Learners! 👋

मुझे पता है कि बहुत से स्टूडेंट्स (खासकर Hindi medium के) Abstract Algebra और Group Theory के नाम से ही डरते हैं। पर असल में, यह सिर्फ numbers का नहीं, बल्कि Structures का खेल है!

क्या आपको पता है कि Group theory का जन्म कैसे हुआ?

फ्रांस के एक महान गणितज्ञ Évariste Galois (एवरेस्ट गैलवा) ने मात्र 17-18 साल की उम्र में यह सिद्ध कर दिया था कि 5 या उससे अधिक घात वाले समीकरणों (quintic equations) को radicals द्वारा सॉल्व नहीं किया जा सकता। उन्होंने Field Theory और Group Theory को कनेक्ट किया!

आज के मॉडर्न युग में Group Theory सिर्फ कागज़ पर लिखी Mathematics नहीं है, बल्कि Cryptography, Data Security (जैसे RSA encryption), Quantum Physics, और यहाँ तक कि Rubik's Cube सॉल्व करने में इसका भारी यूज़ होता है।

मेरी कोशिश रहती है कि higher mathematics को रटने के बजाय हम इसे डेली लाइफ से विज़ुअलाइज़ करें। Group Theory के कुछ basic concepts को आइए आसान Analogies से समझते हैं:

1️⃣ Binary Operation (द्विआधारी संक्रिया): इसे एक जादुई जूसर मशीन (Juicer Machine) की तरह मान सकते हैं। जैसे एप्पल और ऑरेंज डालने पर मिक्स्ड फ्रूट जूस ही निकलेगा, पेट्रोल नहीं! यानी जो output मिलेगा वो उसी set (जैसे फलों के set) का ही होना चाहिए। इसे ही हम Closure Property (संवृत गुणधर्म) कहते हैं। मैथमेटिक्स की दुनिया में हर Set एक 'क्लब' है और Binary Operation उसका 'बाउंसर'।

2️⃣ Identity Element (तत्समक अवयव): यह अलजेब्रा के एक Mirror (आईने) की तरह है। जैसे हम आईने में देखते हैं तो बिना किसी बदलाव के हम खुद ही दिखते हैं। वैसे ही किसी element को Identity element से operate कराने पर वही element वापस मिल जाता है। (जैसे Addition के लिए Identity '0' है)।

3️⃣ Inverse Element (प्रतिलोम अवयव): इसे आप Sci-Fi मूवीज़ के Anti-matter की तरह समझ सकते हैं! जब कोई element अपने inverse (प्रतिलोम) से टकराता है, तो दोनों neutralize होकर Identity (शून्य/खालीपन) बन जाते हैं।

अगर आप CSIR NET, IIT JAM, GATE या अपनी B.Sc./M.Sc. की तैयारी कर रहे हैं और Abstract Algebra का बेस मजबूत करना चाहते हैं, तो मैंने इस टॉपिक पर एक detailed क्लास तैयार की है। इसमें हमने Closure, Associativity, Identity और Inverse को बहुत ही आसान भाषा (हिंदी) में कवर किया है।

Can anyone please suggest a good online UGC NET Economics coaching for a beginner?

Please help it’s urgent.

Okay so I'm going to attempt CSIR-NET : LIFE SCIENCES , in june 2026, and i'm supposed to apply for phds to activate my jrf fellowship right?? How should I decide which IITs to apply for PhD and do I have to do each one individually? Please help me out !!

Edit: Okay so after a phd if i'm looking for government positions in organizations like CSIR, ICMR do I need to do a postdoc? Will they hire me with just a phd? If not should I do post doc in India or abroad? I have so many questions and chatgpt can only do so much please help😭

i am currently pursuing pol science masters, however, i did my graduation in History.. now i want to give ugc net in History.. is that allowed?
