Description
Everything for Paper 1 in one pack: learn each unit, practise it, then test yourself
Paper 1 (Teaching and Research Aptitude) is common to all UGC NET subjects and counts towards your combined score, so a strong Paper 1 helps whatever your Paper 2 subject is. This pack takes you from the first reading of each unit to timed practice: full notes, unit-wise practice questions and ten mock tests in the exam format.
