Hello Aspirant

CUET PG for English has somewhat the same pattern and syllabus as that of UGC-NET, so this will be a practice paper for you.

You should start from the very beginning of British English literature as most of the questions that NTA asks for English majors is from this. For this, you can read-

1) Padmja Ashok's A Social History of England

2) History of British Literature by E Albert

3) History of British English Literature by William J Long

The last two books are the holy grail for any English major student

For Literary Criticism and Theory, you can read Peter Barry's "The Beginning Theory". Apart from this, you can refer to YouTube videos and Google as well. For Indian Literature, you can refer to Pramod K Nayar.

Hope this helps
