Hello Avni,
Paper 1 has 10 topics. Each topic generally has 5 questions carrying 2 marks each.
You can click on this link to get detailed updated syllabus of the exam-  https://www.ugcnetonline.in/syllabus-new.php

There is one reading comprehension carrying 10marks and one Data Interpretation question carrying 10 marks. Which comes every time. Then there is 2-3 question from general awareness, apart from this you get around 5 questions from simple math, logical and verbal reasoning. And the rest questions are from the different part of the syllabus such as teaching aptitude, research aptitude, Communication, ICT etc.
Overall the questions are easy as they ask very basic and conceptual questions. So you must brush up your concepts and knowledge to get through the exam.

Hope this helps!
Good Luck.
