Introduction to UGC NET Women Studies

UGC NET Women Studies is an interdisciplinary subject that examines the social, cultural, economic, and political dimensions of women’s lives and gender relations. It integrates perspectives from sociology, history, political science, economics, law, and cultural studies to understand how gender shapes identities, opportunities, and power structures.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of feminist theories, gender analysis, women’s movements, development issues, legal frameworks, and research methods. Aspirants are expected to critically analyze policies, social practices, and institutional structures affecting women and marginalized genders.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Women Studies mock tests are designed to strengthen conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and exam confidence for the 2026 cycle.

UGC NET June and December Sessions

The UGC NET examination is conducted twice every year in two major cycles:

June Session

The June session provides candidates an early opportunity to assess their preparation and become familiar with foundational concepts such as gender roles, feminist perspectives, and basic research approaches.

December Session

The December session is generally more competitive and preferred by aspirants aiming for JRF qualification. With additional months for structured study, candidates can revise advanced theories, policy analysis, and case-based questions through repeated mock tests.

Both sessions follow the same official syllabus, exam pattern, and marking scheme, making consistent preparation essential.
