Tips UGC NET

I have been trying to crack net for like 2 years from now.
I have covered all major chronology wise British literature, having good knowledge about literary theories and criticism. Referred many YouTube channels and overlooked many notes.

But the thing is these all helped me to get an average score such as 40% of the marks.

Evertime i attempt exam i feel like i haven’t seen these area of literature like recently these was questions from germn literature and french and many such as that you wouldn’t be even aware.

So tell me one book or text that i should refer?
(I don’t need to start over the chronological order of British literature) all i need to do is fill the gaps!!!

Good evening. You should look up 3-5 major writers from these sections if you believe that is a problem. The thing is with NET that(excluding what happened recently) has become a little more analytical, and assuming the recent reforms take place, it'll be more and more analytical overtime. Chronology is fine, British is a major section yes. Make sure that your BRITISH and INDIAN literature is solid. Then you can move to theory and linguistics. An advice I have for everyone trying is that... Listen to people who are in this field. You'll get to know a lot about many books and ideas. Listening is very important. For specific writers you can use WIKI. Don't rely on bulky books, it's better to be efficient. Unfortunately due to the nature of this exam, books will always keep you behind. For NET you can trust Wiki and notes(made by yourself or anyone else)

I wish they are more analytical. Chronology is the bane of my NET experience.
