Let us take a look at UGC NET 2019 exam analysis and reviews by the candidates:

As per her paper analysis, she found the exam difficulty level was not that tough however, some of the questions were uncertain. She added that for paper 2, if candidates practice UGC NET previous year question papers and sample papers/mock papers, then the exam would be easier.
Deepshikha, who also appeared for History subject as UGC NET paper 2, shared that the difficulty level was low, and it would have been much easier for candidates who studied this subject from a regular degree course. However, she also added, as the difficulty level of UGC NET 2019 paper 2 was not high; therefore, all candidates would be able to score well in the exam.
Anjali attempted UGC NET this year again, she appeared for the exam last year as well and was successful in cracking it. She shared that this year, the difficulty level of UGC NET 2019 for both papers was easy. She appeared for History subject, and said that since the UGC NET 2019 paper 2 carried subjective questions it was expected to be difficult, however, this year the exam difficulty was on medium level. She also said that since, NTA has made few changes in the exam pattern of UGC NET and now that both the papers are to be attempted in three hours only, it has become easier for candidates. She said that earlier it was difficult as time duration for attempting paper 1 was not enough, but this year she got enough time to attempt both the papers.
Nitesh, who appeared for Mass Communications subject in UGC NET 2019 Paper 2, shared that the difficulty level was medium for him. The overall question paper was easier for him, however, he also added that he did not expect old topics such as Names of Books, Authors, and movies hence, the questions from paper 2 of UGC NET seemed difficult.
