Yes, you can apply for a Ph.D. at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology without NET.
NET/GATE is not compulsory. If you don't have it, you'll usually need to:
- Appear for their entrance test
- Clear the interview
Having NET/GATE can help (sometimes with fellowships or exemptions), but it's not mandatory

For CUET and NET preparation, there are many good YouTube channels that explain concepts clearly. Along with video lessons, using a structured practice platform like CUETMOCK can really help, as it provides mock tests that follow the exam pattern and detailed solutions to improve your preparation. This is my personal experience.
