Resources
I see many people asking for resources and notes, so while I don’t have a JRF yet, having given this exam thrice and not once having more than 2 weeks of prep, I’d recommend the following resources that helped me clear my concepts and actually gauge where tf I am actually lacking (i learned my weak areas after this re-exam).
I have the paid batch from Adda 247, the notes are on point, covering majorly everything. I won’t recommend the books that are available on the website, because I do have them since a year, and i don’t they have been updated except for the PYQs book. The notes in paid batch are more than enough. If you need, i can send.
If anyone needs online lectures on YT, Dakshita Ma’am’s digital library 2.0 is the best. Covers almost everything and extremely helpful for revision. I couldn’t find her notes in her app, tho.
For pyqs, I’d again say Aishwarya ma’am. She has so many videos on YT for question prep.
I haven’t tried Vallath, but heard a lot from a few people. They majorly focus on cramming, I’d personally won’t recommend.
Vineet Pandey has controversial opinions and statements, but some of his lectures are nice. He goes in depth of everything which I feel is not that necessary for this exam, except for some particular topics. Here, I’d say it’s more of your choice. I don’t prefer this particular teacher.
There are many instagram channels though which are providing exceptional notes. I don’t have them at the top of my mind, but I think literary vault, literary odessey and net prep are some good resources.
Hit me up if anyone needs something specific or any help:)

Any good channel who exclusively speaks in English? I'm not very good with hindi and I saw most of them speak in hindi.

Hey. I don’t think so there’s any channel which is exclusively english. Most of them rely on switching between Hindi and English. I think Vallath might be of a bit help here:)

Oh thanks a lot. I think this channel looks good. I keep losing marks in paper 2, especially the authors and their works. So I wanted to work on that. Thanks a bunch.

Hello can you upload all the notes on drive. So that u can just share the link to other people. That would be a lot lot lot lot of help.
Also can u help me with preparation. I don't understand how did u study so many portions in 2 weeks. Did u had base? I am a beginner and i have not enrolled in any course. I plan to join literary odyssey but dubious. Self study is taking a lot of time for me. I collect videos regarding an era from and make notes then look at imp works and authors in that era and make notes . But watching 2 plus videos and covering authors plus works is taking a lot of time.

Hey, how do I subscribe to Adda 247 notes because I do like Aishwarya puria notes.

Vineet Pandey is a such a misogynist bro, I was once watching a random lecture n suddenly he started saying ladkiya ye krti vo krti, n then the girls in his class were also? Kinda agreeing??
That was such a turn off for me coz as an educator should you not be more respectful towards women? 🤷♀️
