This blog post is a continuation of my previous blog article titled: UGC NET 2013 Exam pattern/Format (New/Revised) and is intended to provide you the prep materials for UGC-NET: the Sample/Previous years UGC NET papers and prep books by pointing you to those resources.
(Note: If you are a Science student (of subjects Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Life Science, Earth Science), you need to appear in CSIR-UGC NET exam and not UGC NET exam. You can find the prep books for CSIR-UGC NET here.)
UGC-NET Sample/Previous years Papers:
You can download last 5 previous years exam papers of UGC-NET from this link of UGC NET website. These UGC-NET 2009-2012 previous years exam papers are in PDF format and since there are two exams each year, you can download UGC-NET exam papers of last ten exams.
One thing to note is that exam pattern has changed from last year (i.e. 2012). therefore you should note the same while going through these exam papers.
