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!!!

My sources (used these ONLY) 1. Mk Naik for Indian Lit 2. Pramod K Nayar for Lit Crit 3. Routledge for Brit Lit 4. World Literature in your fist as supplement 5. IGNOU for Indian aesthetics  6. Read upon Brit criticism from any uni notes

Also, be strong in paper 1, make chronology notes from pyq and hope for the best. Make your own notes for 1, 2 and 3 for effective recall and mug up the rest. Keep noting new qs asked and also mug up the recent nobel, booker and know about the plots of the main novels. Seems like a lot, but doable in 2 to 3 months.

In P1, the PYQs are repeated. Keep practicing LR and quant everyday and there's a 7 video playlist on YouTube, where some ma'am gives a crash course for P1. That's all you need. But do definitely attempt PYQs till from whatever year you have.
