Nothing more is needed absolutely. The resources given above will make you capable of acing the
NET with top 0.01% scores, and therefore making it possible to get into your desired programme.
Don't use the resources other than those provided above except the past papers that will be
shared by the students once the NET Series-2 will start and thus using them for the preparation
will certainly benefits you highly.

let 𝜋 ≈ 3 and e ≈ 3

so 𝜋 × e ≈ 3 × 3
OR
As 𝜋 ≈ 3 and e ≈ 2.7
so it is 3 × 2.7 which is more accurate then 3 × 3

1. The maximum value of sine is 1 & minimum value is -1. It gives values between -1 and 1 both inclusive.
2. In Interval A: As angle is increasing from 0 to 90 the value of sine is increasing from 0 to 1.
° °

3. In Interval B: As angle is increasing from 90 to 180 the value of sine is decreasing from 1 to -1. It goes from
° °

1 to 0 and then 0 to -1.

From the above information and by looking to the above graph we can clearly state that:
sin(54.57°) < sin(76°) & similar info related to this.
⚠ Check the graph of Cosine in the similar way before proceeding further.

Real time preparation

Internet resources for preparation

Resource Usage
1. To find the solutions of questions, articles related to
various concepts, in general everything.
2. To find the solution of an mcq, just type it in the
Google's search bar and hit enter, you will find
various websites providing solutions (many of whom
will be the Indian one). To get the solution try to
write your question in clear format such as
1+ x
2 -x
 has to be written as (1+x)/(2-x) not 1+x/2-x as it
would mean 1 +
x etc.
2 -x
A simple Google search
If you are unable to find the solution of an mcq,
then ask Chat-GPT to convert the statement of the
mcq into Latex format, and then search it on
Google such as the solution of ∫ x dx can be
2

searched as "Integral of x from 1 to 2" or in

Latex:"\int_{1}^{2}xdx.
3. To find the solutions to graph based mcqs in both
Physics and Mathematics, take the picture or the
screenshot of that mcq and then put it on the
Google Lens and then "search by image", also
knwon as reverse image search.

Youtube Lectures Channels detail: Link

For solutions, explanations etc

Chat-GPT & other AI chat bots But you must be aware from the false explanations
and answers.

For plotting graphs nd understanding them including

various animations & simulations of concepts of Math
& Physics such as Conics, Graphs of functions,
graphical addition of Vectors, Analytical Geometry
Geogebra / Desmos concepts etc
Geogebra graphing calculator
Geogebra simulation/animations
Desmos
In fact you can use Gegebra to calculate Integrals,
derivative and other things.
Various calculators such as integral calculator, One of those
quadratic equation solver. You can search on google for more calculators
Search on YT the animation of a concept & you can
Simulations and animations of Math and Physics also search on Google to find them
Concepts Various webistes such as PHET-Colorado provides
simulations of whole 1st & 2nd Year Physics.
