These papers can easily be purchased from offline shops or websites. The papers provide valuable insight thus offering a clear view on topic understanding and lesson planning. This approach not only simplifies the exam preparation but also enhances your chances of succeeding in the examination.
Awarding of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and/ or Eligibility for Assistant Professorship depends on the aggregate performance of the candidate in Paper-I and Paper-II of UGC-NET. The candidates qualifying only for Assistant Professorship are not eligible to be considered for the award of JRF. Candidates who qualify for the eligibility test for Assistant Professorship are governed by the rules and regulations of the concerned Universities/Colleges/State Governments, as the case may be for the recruitment of Assistant Professors.
