While preparing for UGC NET English, be clear with the fact that it has a very vast syllabus so you to give it enough time to prepare. First of all go through with your M.A. Coursework, it won't take much time, just afresh it in mind, just for having a general idea of topics like Major authors & their works and literary periods ( From Chaucer to contemporary)
Now pick up any standard History book from British literature, some options are David Daiches, Edward Albert, W H Hudson. Collect the maximum information about the important author/critic & their work. Practice previous year test papers & UGC NET http://bit.ly/2FSok2K Online Mock test for English. For Literary Criticism & theory you must refer Peter Berry, MAR Habib and history of literary criticism. Now comes the very thing- be thorough with M H Abrams Glossary of literary Terms. Ensure to study at least 4-5 entries on daily basis. Now cover the major writings from American literature, Indian English writing & Postcolonial literature. Study important concepts & theories of cultural studies. Must read about literary awards like booker prize, pultizer prize, noble prize & updations. Keep on studying & maintain consistency is really important to get success. Do not ignore paper 1 at any cost. Thanks a lot.
