Hello there,

Here’s a simple strategy to prepare for UGC NET in Social Work:

1. Know the syllabus : Cover both Paper 1 (teaching & research aptitude) and Paper 2 (Social Work topics like theories, methods, policies, etc.).
   
   

2. Use standard books : Refer to authors like U. Ghai, Sanjay Bhattacharya, and IGNOU materials for Paper 2.
   
   

3. Make short notes : Summarize each topic for quick revision.

4. Practice MCQs : Solve previous years' papers and mock tests regularly.

5. Revise often : Set a revision schedule weekly to retain concepts.

6. Follow current affairs : Focus on social policies, government schemes, and recent developments in social work.

Stay consistent with 4–5 hours of study daily, and focus on understanding rather than memorizing.
