Preface
This book is my second book for the preparation of UGC NET JRF
Women‟s Studies examination. My first book comprised of my
own notes which I have made while preparing for this exam.
During my preparation for Nov 2017 examination, I have realized
that practicing questions is very crucial to clear this exam because
many questions are repeated or asked in many different ways each
year. It also helps to know the important topics from which
questions are being asked in the examination. Not a single book for
practicing questions is available in the market. This is my effort to
fill this gap.
This book comprises of five Practice Papers along with their
solutions, 14 sets of Previous Year‟s papers (Dec 2014-Nov 2017)
and their UGC answer keys. Total 250 questions, given in practice
papers, are formed from the syllabus keeping in mind the recent
trend of this exam. Practicing these questions will definitely raise
your score in examination and help you to clear UGC NET
examination. This book is fully based on new pattern of
examination and new emerging issues being asked in the
examination.
I am thankful to Almighty God, my family and friends who
supported and encouraged me to achieve the things I now possess.
I will be very grateful to those who would suggest me for
constructive changes in the book.
Feel free to contact for any queries and suggestions at
