So, try to cover all the topics beforehand. Build your basics. Note down chronologies, important works by the authors. Do not ignore Russian, Afro-American, lesser-known British authors, literary movements, Canadian Literature, South-East Asian Literature, Indian Literature, German and Russian Literature. Read Cultural Studies thoroughly. What happened to Linguistics? Check out EGyaanKosh and IGNOU study materials. They are open-source and available online for free. There is another web portal where you can check notes for M.A. English Literature. Stay updated with the latest works published by renowned authors like Amitav Ghosh’s Wild Fictions and William Dalrymple’s The Golden Road. Do not forget to study about Blue Humanities.

Additionally, you can follow: https://epgp.inflibnet.ac.in/. Do not engage with English Literature superficially. This open-source, free government website gives you access to at least 560 books on English Literature. So, check out these free resources without delay.  We are sure that after reading these books, you will strengthen your foundation. Before we jump to the next tip, we would suggest you to keep practicing logical reasoning and data interpretation questions simultaneously for scoring in Paper 1. Do not ignore Paper 1 as it is quite scoring and will improve your understanding of teaching and research methodologies. How will you teach in colleges or universities if you are not aware of it? If you do not know about research design or framework or methods, what is the use of applying for PhD? Therefore, focus! There is no shortcut. Do not try to figure it out! So, solve mock-tests and practice papers for both the papers on a weekly basis.
