What this deck covers
The Unit – I deck follows the UGC NET Law Unit – I syllabus — 10 chapters and 37 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 5.0 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 105 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
