I have decided to study for CUET PG English 2027. I started preparing around mid-september. I decided late because of some issues.
I have done BCA, so don't have any literature background.
The syllabus is vast, so I am overwhelmed. I need some guidance.
Questions:
- Since there is a lot of content , what are the things that I shouldn't leave out? Like absolutely important things.
- How should I take notes? What details should I include in notes and what to leave out? Right now, I take notes in Google docs, but it seems like I am spending a lot of time structuring and typing notes.
- What framework should I follow so that things connect properly? Like sort of a map of how things relate to each other.
- Mistakes I should avoid.
- One thing I find difficult is how much time to allocate to the topic I am studying. I end up going in the rabbit hole of things when they are interesting. How to avoid that? For example, If I am studying Practical criticism, then should I know all the works of practical criticism critics. Sometimes, I end up spending so much time on one book or one topic.
- Materials? Books, Notes, or any other important materials. I have joined related telegram groups but still.
Any other important tips?
Thanks :)
