CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine
Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

Gaurav,@Gaurav Sir could you please tell about the rest of the subjects also? I know what I'm asking is too much, but this would give me some direction and clarity. I'll be really thankful 🙏🏻
Actually, having confusion in Economy is genuine because there is no unanimity among aspirants as to what should be the one stop solution for it but the same is not the case with other subjects like Polity, Modern Indian History, Geography, etc because there are specific books for these parts which more or less everyone does follow. For example, M. Laxmikanth for Polity, Spectrum for Modern Indian History, NCERT 9th-12th for Indian Geography, Old NCERT books/Tamil Nadu Board books for Ancient and Medieval Indian History, etc. So, please don't make much efforts to decode the Prelims syllabus. Instead, read the standard books, revise them again and again, keep abreast of the current events, and solve Previous Years' Questions. To gauge your level of preparations you may attempt some mocks too, but certainly not now at a time when you are a beginner.

@DuhanSrishty I guess it must have helped you get some clarity. If not, please let me know as soon as possible what else you need to know specifically.
DuhanSrishty,
Gaurav,@Gaurav Things are much clear now sir.. Thank you so much..I feel being a beginner things would take a little time before pieces start to fall into the right places.. starting with the basics now..hope for the best 😊🙏🏻
Glad to know. And yes, given you are a newbie it would take some time before you get to know everything about this exam. Don't stress out much about that. Happens to everyone who starts the journey. All the best. :)
What's advisable for OTT addicts (Netflix etc.)? Should one put it away completely or restrict it to 1-1.5 hrs? Does anyone have experience in successfully doing this?
I can't say Im successfully out of seeing OTT. I'll share what I'm dng these days. I used to watch drmas continuously. even with breaks,it was difficult nt to watch. But these days I prefer to seeing film and not dramas bcoz it's definite and ends in 2hrs at max, no urge to watch for more than that. Dramas can be a timekill ( daystoo) so go for film or tv shows that is 20-30mins. As exams approach, u have to keep away from it totally. It depends on you whether to totally avoid it or not. During prep, if u could find break in getting a walk/ exercise, certainly OTTs can be avoided fully.
