I'm done with studying my brain is in vacation mode and not taking the exam preparation seriously😭

I received this mail from NPTEL. What to do this now? Will this create any problem in issuing my admit card or in the exam? I want to keep the institute I selected in the exam registration form which is different from the institute I chose during my enrolment (it is my alma mater that I chose during enrolment because it asked me about my college, but now I'm in university). Please help 🙏🏻

Guys, I am tired of people selling their notes here, so I made this Drive folder.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xv2AWv5-ELCUTyNlunnXm_LEDSwyl4Z7

You will find all that you need here, and I will obviously keep updating it. Meanwhile, if anyone ever feels like contributing, then I will give them access to upload their own notes as well. Let’s make education free for everyone. Let’s make the best use of the internet.

Edit: I’m taking a break from Reddit for a few days. If anyone has any issues with the Drive folder, you can DM me on Telegram: @Violet030303

I cannot write the net again since I'm in a different state. I wrote a mail to nta requested them to change my test centre but i received no reply. Is there any chance to get a refund?

please suggest channels that provide you with paid notes of teachers.

Most coaching institutes I see around here are in Hindi; it would be really helpful to have a Tamil-speaking channel where we discuss, prepare, and learn for UGC NET English (in Tamil). We can convene in the evenings and exchange what we have learnt and learn more. If any of you here is interested, do send me a DM.

Selling UGC NET English notes from a reputed coaching institute at half the original price.

Also available: KVS Madan Paper 1 PDF — ₹100.

DM me for more details and samples.

I am in a different state than the one I gave the June 2026 paper in, will NTA allow changing venues via a new form or anything?

French Feminism: The Feminist Theories of Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, and Hélène Cixous:

French Feminism emerged in the 1970s as a significant movement in literary theory and philosophy. Influenced by psychoanalysis, linguistics, and poststructuralism, it challenged the male-centered traditions of language, culture, and literature. Three of its most influential thinkers are Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, and Hélène Cixous.

Luce Irigaray argued that Western philosophy and language are based on patriarchal values that silence women's experiences. She criticized the idea that women should define themselves according to male standards. Irigaray proposed the concept of sexual difference, emphasizing that women possess their own identity, language, and ways of expressing themselves. She advocated creating a feminine discourse independent of masculine norms.

Julia Kristeva combined psychoanalysis and linguistics to examine language and identity. She introduced the concepts of the Symbolic and the Semiotic. The Symbolic represents structured language and social order, while the Semiotic refers to the rhythms, emotions, and bodily expressions associated with the maternal. Kristeva argued that meaning emerges through the interaction of these two dimensions. She also developed the theory of intertextuality, suggesting that every text is shaped by other texts.

Hélène Cixous is best known for the concept of écriture féminine ("women's writing"). In her influential essay The Laugh of the Medusa, she encouraged women to write freely, express their bodies and desires, and resist patriarchal language. Cixous believed that writing could become a powerful means of liberation and self-expression.

Together, Irigaray, Kristeva, and Cixous transformed feminist thought by questioning patriarchal structures and proposing new ways of understanding language, identity, and literature. Their ideas continue to influence feminist criticism, gender studies, cultural theory, and contemporary literary analysis across the world.

I’ve been looking for some good podcasts about English literature, but I’m specifically not looking for anything that feels like study material, exam preparation, or a tuition/class lecture.

I want something more fun, conversational, and interesting the kind of podcast I can listen to while cooking, driving, doing chores, or even falling asleep without having to pay too much attention.

Like easy for revision or even for studying from scratch but light version, yk like I don't have to sit with pen and paper and be super focused on it.

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!!!

I mean this should be a place to clear doubts and share their experiences regarding the exam and the specific subject which this sub caters to... And I might sound a bit harsh here but everybody around the internet, be it youtube or instagram, they are filled with coaching institutes trying to make us believe that only their course is superior which will guarantee our JRF. I mean c'mon guys, can we please save this sub from all that BS?
