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.

Hey guys. Happy Diwali to everyone!! Hope your faces are smiling and diyas are shining 🌟
Sorry for being absent when questions were being answered by@Arrokoth and@AJ_ .I have tried to write down everything related to mains, along with test copies. I think I am more coherent that way.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can add :)
Thank you, @whatonly that was really comprehensive! It would be really helpful if you share your essay strategy too as you scored heavily in the essay paper. ( Did you make any separate notes or just practice with your existing knowledge?)

Thank you so much for this
Hey@whatonly , thanks for the detailed blog.
The document on the blog containing standard points for GS topics is quite good. If you've compiled standard dimensions and conclusions, can you share that as well? Something like 3A(accessibility, affordability, availability)
THE_MECHANIC,@LetsGetThisBread Aggarwal ki mithai Sirf naam ki mithai h ( Pura ghotala)
Moreover, quite expensive as well for just one piece of sweet xD
@AJ_ @Arrokoth My question is regarding GS2 and GS3 in particular. Here it is advised to put examples, facts, etc in our answers. I saw a few topper answer scripts and found that the answers were a mix of generic statements like "creating tax buoyancy, rationalisation of subsidies" which where not accompanied with latest facts/examples (as difficult to remember such facts for lot of things) while other points like Tax:GDP ratio mentioned along with recent data.
So I want a clarification. Say in a 10 markers - we can have 3/4 points substantiated with facts/examples/case study, 3 /4 points related to the topic and 2/3 points of generic nature. Is this what has to be targeted for a good mains answers or something else. Please clarify on this.
Also thank you to both of you for doing it. Best wishes to you.

Yes, that's what good 10 markers look like. But still keep pushing yourself, and maybe you'll have an 8/10 worthy 10 marker at your hand.
