The syllabus is a bone of contention when it comes to NTA UGC NET as there is no proper syllabus set in place by the authorities that conduct NTA UGC NET examination. This in turn leads to a lot of confusion and frustration. The scope of the syllabus however can be gauged if the question papers are studied closely. The list mentioned above can be a good starting point. The list broadly depicts the various literatures you need to study. A list of all the authors is also available in the downloads section. You should ideally start with reading a history book and then move on to solving question papers simultaneously, so that you not only know what needs to be done and up to what extent.
