1. Book I History and Theory 

The December 2019 UGC NET examination in English will consists of two question papers i.e. paper-1 and paper-2 through Computer Based Test (CBT). The UGC NET JRF syllabus in English was last revised in June 2019 and the current NET / SET / SLET examination will be based on the new syllabus only.

The paper-1 of English is of general and compulsory for all subjects and will have 50 MCQ question and total 100 marks and it will includes teaching aptitude, research aptitude, comprehension, communication, mathematical reasoning and aptitude, logical reasoning, data interpretation, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), people, development and environment and higher education system. The UGC NET Paper 1 syllabus, old examination questions papers along with answer keys (solved questions) can be found at UGC NET Paper 1

The paper-2 covers only the syllabus of English and will have 100 MCQ question and total 200 marks (including all electives, without options). The examination for paper-2 will also be Computer Based Test (CBT) through Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) consisting of ascending-descending or sequencing / chronological questions; assertion-reason questions; checkbox or Multiple True / False Questions (MTFQ) or multiple selection questions or Multiple Response Questions (MRQ) or multiple choice-multiple answer questions; matching questions and paragraph or reading comprehension tests paragraph question. 

Till November 2017 UGC NET in English consists of three papers i.e. paper-1, paper-2 and paper-3. Paper-1 was of general and compulsory for all subjects and paper-2 and paper-3 was based on English. However, from June 2018 UGC NET in English consists of only two papers i.e. paper-1 and paper-2 (by merging the previous paper-2 and paper-3 into the current paper-2). So, students are requested to go through previous paper-2 and paper-3 both to better prepare themselves for the current paper-2 in English.

It is to be noted here that the UGC NET examination in English was conducted by the University Grants Commission (UGC) till June 2014. From December 2014 to June 2018 UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) examination was conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and from Dec. 2018 onwards, the UGC- NET is being conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
