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

[email protected].
