Tushtee .UGC NET AspirantMy name is Mohtashim Ali. I appeared for UGC-NET June 2026 in Computer Science under the General category. I scored 176 marks and qualified for PhD admission. KnowledgeGate helped me throughout my preparation through its recorded videos, concept-based classes, PYQ practice, notes, tests, doubt support, and easy-to-use learning platform. The concept-based teaching and recorded lectures helped me the most because they made complex Computer Science topics easier to understand and allowed me to learn at my own pace. The PYQ practice also helped me understand the exam pattern better. KnowledgeGate played an important role in my preparation and achieving this result. My advice to other aspirants is to stay consistent, focus on understanding concepts, and practice PYQs regularly. UGC-NET preparation requires patience and proper planning, so it is important to revise regularly and identify your weak areas. I would recommend KnowledgeGate because of its structured content, concept-based teaching, quality study material, and helpful learning platform.

My name is Shivang Sharma. I appeared for UGC-NET June 2026 in Computer Science subject under the general category. I scored 184 marks and qualified for Assistant professor. I prepared for both UGC NET Paper 1 and Paper 2 through Knowledge Gate, and my experience has been really great. I have qualified UGC NET twice, and Knowledge Gate played a very important role in my preparation. The PYQs provided by Knowledge Gate helped me a lot in understanding the actual exam pattern and the type of questions asked. In fact, I found some questions in the actual UGC NET exam that were directly or very closely related to the PYQs I had practiced. I would especially like to appreciate Sanchit Sir for his teaching style. His way of explaining concepts is very clear and easy to understand. Because of his conceptual approach, many topics that initially seemed difficult became much easier for me, and my concepts became strong. The combination of concept clarity, quality lectures, and well-selected PYQs helped me prepare effectively for both Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Shivang SHARMAUGC NET QualifiedRe-engaging with studies after 8 years seemed tough, but KnowledgeGate completely transformed my preparation and in 3 months I gained clarity on concepts I had never understood this well, and the score is far beyond what I had initially expected. The PYQs and course structure were the key game-changers for me.Truly grateful to the entire team
