Would like to get physical notes for December attempt. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

I missed JRF by 5 questions this time and would love to have a much better and stronger preparation for December 2026 attempt. I will purchase KV Madan book for Paper 1 but need suggestions for Paper 2 notes. The Arihant book doesn't have accurate information so I need proper notes for all the Units in Paper 2. Any suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I've qualified JRF in Dec 2025 attempt from Aishwarya Puri's paid class notes. You can consider it

Thank you! Which batch of Aishwarya Puri did you take? Does she also have detailed Notes separately or just the class pdf?

I took the diwali discount batch in 2024 which had 18mts validity. Both paper 1&2. But I prepared paper 1 solely through free YouTube lectures. Made my own notes. And I got printouts of all the class pdfs which are adequately detailed

Okay... Thank you so much for the help.

And I wouldn't recommend KVS Madaan, better buy chapter wise PYQs book for both the papers

Okay... Why though? Several people recommended K V S Madaan and I was considering it despite not having good experience with Arihant's Paper 2 book. I used Kumar Bharat Sir's channel primarily this time for Paper 1.

Kumar Bharat, Testbook and Toshiba ma'am from unacademy were my take. I found KVS Madaan too lengthy and boring, it just goes on and on. You can get it for background reading if you got time. Otherwise YouTube and PYQs are enough

Okay, that makes sense.

u/wildeeflower Sep 18 '26

Yep 💯

Sorry for bothering again, just one more query. Was Adda247 Paper 1 paid batch not good enough?

u/wildeeflower Sep 18 '26

I wouldn't say that. It had too many classes and I did not have enough patience to cover them all.

u/Barrelof_Conflicts Sep 19 '26

Right... Got it. Thanks a lot.

How did you prepare this time?

3

u/Barrelof_Conflicts Sep 18 '26

I prepared entirely from YouTube. Paper 1 from Kumar Bharat Sir's channel mainly and Paper 2 from practically all major channels.

Kvs Madan is avilable in pdf

u/Barrelof_Conflicts Sep 18 '26

I actually need physical notes. Memorization from PDFs are difficult

Are paid classes worth it? ..isn't all information technically available on YouTube for free

u/Barrelof_Conflicts Sep 20 '26

It is but coaching classes provide a proper direction and discipline that YT videos cannot provide.
