UGC Net English Literature syllabus is too much complicated and difficult to understand because of the Units in the syllabus are not clear. Like Unit 1 is just Drama it is not specified from which canon of literature, not a specific time frame and period, it incorporates Greek Drama, Sanskrit Drama, British, American, Canadian and so on….. Students often confuse with this syllabus. I have posted a video on YouTube where i talked about this syllabus in detail, It will help you to understand how to approach the syllabus and prepare for the NET/ SET exams.
