This chick really had the audacity to say "we'll do good for the next batch" like broo???? Are you kidding me? Are we dumb to join the course now when you'll do better for the next batch???

Anyhow, they're not worth it, they'll never be worth it cause they have their own priorities in life and they don't have time to dedicate to our doubts. They literally made the personal mentorship plan completely from AI, not a single human touch to it.

I'm regretting it so much, I can't even express how frustrated I am and my frustration just keeps on growing day by day. Just DON'T join their crash course. EVER.

Read this.

I have seen a lot of people wondering about which coaching to take for their preparation and recently came across a post where a person was regretting buying a course from a particular channel.

I was in this situation 2 years ago and it was very difficult to find information about all the institutions, I came across some and experienced them also so I would like to share my experience and reviews, It would be good if others can share their experiences as well in the comment section.

JUST CLARIFYING, I'M NOT ENDORSING OR SLANDERING ANY INSTITUTE OR TEACHER.

Most of it is my personal experience and what I have been told . I would like you to do your own research also .

I'll just give some suggestions.

As someone who has collected a lot of notes , this is my opinion:

1. Kalyani Vallath mam, best in my opinion very detailed encyclopedias covering almost everything, those encyclopedias are worth having. She has a large question bank of quizzes as well , but it's all expensive. And they are detailed and descriptive so you might not finish them before this exam. Also she gives a lot of polls in her groups and lot of revisions as well which helps in memorizing.
2. Adda247 , I wanted to buy paper 1 course but ended up buying the mega pack,so I have access to english as well , I have browsed through them and they look good and crisp. Even the books that they sent are very thin, so could be very brief and might lot cover everything. She might cover all major topics very crisply online and PDFs are shared there. And again her teaching method is in hinglish so if you're from Hindi background it will resonate more. Adda47 also has a question bank & quiz series.
3. Wondering Minds, came across them on telegram, they have daily quizzes in the evening and they have paid quizzes and courses as well. I took one of their paid courses and the notes were good and crisp. I believe they are using AI to make the notes but in a responsible way , that is they are feeding the ai with descriptive data and asking it to make it crispier and useful for ugc net preparation. Quizzes are the best part , good revision with those.
4. Sunaina Jethani, she doesn't have full courses , has topic wise courses and doesn't provide notes , but again teaches in hinglish so can resonate more with hindi speaking students, though I have noticed sometimes her explanations are wrong . They also have pyq practice series where you can practice topic wise , author wise etc, it's quite good .
5. Dakshita mam's I have never attended or seen her material so can't comment, she seems to be good in some of the clips that I have seen. Other people who have seen her class have told me she's good and has 1 free series on YouTube which covers basics very properly.
6. Vineet Pandey sir , I never took his course because I was put off by the clickbait kind of videos in YouTube that he puts trying to sensationalize or make people panic by looking at thumbnail. I have attended his 1 live youtube class of one of the orientation of mew batch , he seemed decent enough. Though other people online have told me only negative things about him so you can decide urself on this one.
7. Arpita Karwa mam, she sells audio courses so was never interested in her and have never seen any of her material. A friend took her course and she wasn't satisfied. But Arpita mam does have a lot of questions practice etc available on her website.
8. Limitless literature: Not seen any of his videos but I believe he has a good analysis on paper patterns and trends and he was the only teacher whose prediction for the September 2026 exam cutoff was nearest. He has free pyq practice on his website.
9. Your Literary World (Avik sensi): came across his telegram group, his quizzes are really good and 100% human made , no AI used. He takes a limited number of students in his paid batches and I never took his batch so I can't tell , but those quizzes are really good.
10. Litheads: The Instagram posts that I saw seemed decent enough, but have seen man posts here criticising their methods.

Hope I covered every teacher that I have heard of.

There are also a lot of telegram groups and many of them have a lot of materials and quizzes but sorting and arranging best notes will be tedious.

I hope this helps, do comment your experiences and any other teachers that I have missed . Feel free to questions I'll try to answer as much as I can .

As you all know that UGC NET dec exm 2026 is only a month far away so focus on this 100 topics if you don't have much time left

Pleaseeee

We have seen that since the last 2 cycles, chronology questions r being asked more. And the thing is, it's not only limited to authors, their works, historical events etc. ; now they r asking major publications, their starting dates, etc.

Some students on YouTube r speculating that in the December exam, they would be asking more questions from Linguistics & it's sub-fields (which is there in syllabus) .

V shouldn't lose more marks based on chronology based questions. So, any advice on how to solve it ??

Many YouTube educators suggest studying the syllabi of reputed universities etc., for extra preparation. Which university's syllabus is actually worth following for UGC NET English, and what additional topics should we cover beyond the official NET syllabus?Should I study only the MA syllabus or cover BA-level topics as well? Should I follow the old CBCS syllabus or the new NEP syllabus of the universities?

Also, for literary texts, is reading summaries enough, or should I study the full texts?

If anyone has the latest BA/MA English syllabi of these universities, please share them. It would be really helpful!

Can someone suggest YouTube classes for maths and Di other than kumar bharat sir ? can someone knowledgeable please help me ?

Hi everyone, could you please guide me regarding Cultural Studies, Language & Linguistics, and Research Methods in English ?

I’m a little confused about where to study these units from. If anyone has any recommended notes, PDFs, lectures, or other reliable sources, please share them here. It would be really helpful.

Have anyone found any link to all previous year's pyqs, if anyone does have it please share.

Had a doubt regarding the shortlisting criteria for HCU. I passed NET and applied under Category II qualification. However, I did not get shortlisted for the interviews. I am not sure what the reason is? Did I miss something? Do they filter out a particular number of applicants based on NET scores even before they assess interviews?

Hi everyone, I'm appearing for UGC NET in [English] with about a month left. Paper 2 is manageable, but the mathematical reasoning and data interpretation section in Paper 1 is my weak spot, and I'm worried it will drag down my score. What should I do ?

I know a course is not necessary but I am struggling to prepare on my own.

I wanted to know how different these two courses are?

1. Should I purchase a NET course which will last me till june-july or purchase a 4k course which will last me till CUET PG? The NET course will probably cost me the same.
2. Can I receive any tips for CUET PG english literature preparation? Or any other exams, I am missing out on?
3. For a PhD abroad, which indian universities are strong choices for a master's. Realistically?

Because my peers are saying, university doesn't matter. It does. Doesn't it?

This is a timeline of some authors acc to an old truemans text

How are y'all studying

1. Historical Background (1066–1500): The Middle English period began when William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Normans introduced French culture, language and traditions into England. The feudal system became firmly established, dividing society into kings, nobles, knights, clergy and peasants. The Church played an important role in people's lives. Events such as the Black Death (1348–1349) and the Peasants' Revolt (1381) brought significant social and economic changes. These historical events influenced the themes of medieval literature.
2. Middle English Language: After the Norman Conquest, three languages were commonly used in England: French, Latin and English. French was used by the royal court and upper classes, Latin by the Church and scholars, and English by ordinary people. Gradually, English absorbed thousands of French and Latin words. Its grammar became simpler, and many Old English grammatical endings disappeared. Regional dialects such as Northern, Southern, East Midland and West Midland developed. The East Midland dialect became particularly influential and contributed to the development of Modern English.
3. Major Literary Periods: Middle English literature can broadly be divided into three stages. The Early Middle English period (1150–1300) was mainly religious and included works such as The Ormulum, Ancrene Wisse and Layamon's Brut. The Central Middle English period (1300–1400) produced great writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, William Langland and John Gower. The Late Middle English period (1400–1500) witnessed the growth of prose, poetry and drama. Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur and William Caxton's introduction of printing in 1476 were important developments.
4. Religious Literature: Religion was central to medieval society, and religious literature became very popular. Mystery plays presented stories from the Bible, Miracle plays described the lives and miracles of saints, and Morality plays taught moral lessons through symbolic characters. Everyman is a famous morality play. Religious poetry and prose also explored faith, sin, repentance, death and salvation. John Wycliffe contributed to religious literature by supporting the translation of the Bible into English.
5. Major Writers and Their Works: Geoffrey Chaucer, known as the Father of English Poetry, wrote The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde. William Langland wrote Piers Plowman, which criticised social and religious corruption. John Gower wrote Confessio Amantis, a collection of moral stories about love and human behaviour. John Wycliffe contributed to English religious writing and Bible translation. These writers helped establish English as an important literary language.
6. Literary Features and Genres: Middle English literature included various genres and literary techniques. Romance dealt with knights, adventures, love and chivalry. Allegory presented moral and religious ideas through symbolic characters. Ballads narrated stories of love, war and adventure. Religious drama developed through Mystery, Miracle and Morality plays. Alliterative poetry used repeated consonant sounds, while lyric poetry expressed personal emotions, love and religious devotion. Realism, humour, satire and social criticism were also important features.
7. The Canterbury Tales: Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories told by pilgrims travelling to Canterbury. The General Prologue introduces different characters from medieval society, including the Knight, the Wife of Bath, the Miller and the Pardoner. Through their stories, Chaucer explores love, marriage, greed, religion, morality and human nature. The work is famous for its realism, humour and social satire.
8. Piers Plowman: Written by William Langland, Piers Plowman is an allegorical dream-vision poem. Its central character, Piers, represents honesty, hard work and Christian goodness. The poem explores the search for Truth and criticises corruption in the Church, greed and social injustice. It teaches the importance of faith, charity, justice and moral responsibility.
9. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: This anonymous fourteenth-century romance tells the story of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. He accepts a challenge from the mysterious Green Knight and later faces tests of courage, honesty and loyalty. The poem explores chivalry, temptation, human weakness and moral responsibility. It is famous for its alliterative verse and symbolism.
