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.

@adivasi No, this is the sole entrance test to SFG 1. SFG 2.0 covers detailed current affairs questions and dynamic reasoning based questions along with static based simple questions. SFG 1 has simple static based questions mostly along with recent current affairs questions (January to November). SFG 1 will be a 2 month program and will not be repeated in this year. However, SFG 2 has a separate entrance test and will be much longer and more like conventional test series with added competition. You can join SFG 2 as it is more useful for UPSC and UPSC rarely asks questions straight from the basic NCERTs.Note: I have not registered for SFG before. Whatever I have said can be found out from the forum article on the blog website as well as the discussion forum on SFG held last year.
So, SFG 2 will also be held once or it will have multiple batches if you know?
And if SFG 2 is like a prelims test series, Forum has released a separate Prelims test series too, then which one shall be considered to join. Any say on this?
Forum states that SFG has only one batch of 100 students, which undergoes to reshuffling based on weekend tests. I am not sure whether more batches will be launched, as they keep it fixed at 100 to uphold quality.
I am looking forward to join the regular forum test series as it offers a lot of flexibility, I wouldn't want to keep writing 1-hr. tests daily, that takes up a lot of time. I would suggest you to take your situation into account before taking a call. If you are a first timer not familiar with the various static topics and have not given prelims test series before, SFG sounds like a good option. Daily tests can keep you on track of the syllabus and the time required to be devoted to each topic. Otherwise, the regular test series option is pretty good, and you have the flexibility of writing tests anytime you want, without pressure of being kicked out of the batch, and the rankings/statistics are avalaible post anytime you write the test. They keep updating it daily.

Valuable suggestion. Thank you.
I am yet to complete the static topics first. Post that I will join some test Series in Feb. As you said, i don't think joining SFG would be beneficial now as it would give me unnecessary stress.
