Next, prepare the History of Persian Language and Literature chronologically. Create short notes on literary periods, major rulers and dynasties where relevant, major writers, poets and landmark works.

Prepare major authors using an Author – Period – Major Work – Literary Form – Contribution format. This makes revision easier for MCQ-based examinations.

Translation should be practised regularly, particularly vocabulary drawn from contemporary Persian newspapers, journals and general writing for CUET-PG.
