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.

Can someone help me with what is "Designation of Issuing authority" for graduation certificate? Apologies if this is not the right thread for this discussion :P

Probably depends on the college. 

In my college, it's Registrar. Not VC. 

Right thanks! I guess it's registrar for me too. Will need to confirm this.

Do we need to give details of all CSE and IFoS pre and mains in this section? Having doubts because there was already a section for previous prelims details with roll no.

I think this refers to exams other than CSE. I’m not sure IFoS though

Exactly what I also thought, but then I saw CSE Pre and Mains both in the dropdown. Cross-checked with my previous year's DAF, I had filled NO in this section.

Hello guys. I will be posting some different targets from now on. I will be posting no. of hours instead of study topics.

The reasoning- My problem is sitting and studying, and whenever I manage to do so, targets are automatically done. 

So, the target for 22nd November is-10-hour study.


Note- This 10 hr will only include core study hours and not just sitting on my table. Let us begin! :)

Too ashamed of myself to comment anything further. Maybe acha ho kuch kal, warna mission 2022 hi hoga.
