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.

My mind reading the above conversations wrt COVID and Mains:

"Mass bunk karne ka koi scope hai kya?" #CollegeDaysAndExams

To add my bit to above concerns, 

If UPSC goes zero tolerace way and asks us to bring the unbreathable N95 to be worn for 6 hours (+4 hours at centre) for all the 5 days, it will be very difficult breathing and thinking straight. 

Gone are the days when we could snack over few Dairy Milks during the mains. That has been the highlight of my previous mains. 


Update on 4/1/2022: 2 days from exam and sitting with a phool :

Called the helpline. They said that there is a meeting at 4 p.m. today. If there is any change (meaning postponement), they will update it by 6 p.m.

My friend, who is in containment zone area, called them up on how they could reach the centre and they have said they can use admit card as pass and also such instructions have been sent to states too. So no need to worry. Hope it helps for those who are worried about this.

@SnowLeopard I feel they will postpone the exam. The risk is too high to go ahead with the exam.

@user2022 i don't think so... Honestly. I just want to make an effort to get it across to them... But they won't delay it i guess like 95 percent sure at this point

@SnowLeopard Even if they manage to conduct the exams on 7, 8 and 9. It would not be possible to conduct language and optional papers. 5 days gap in between can escalate the situation. 
Based on this, I am hoping they will postpone. Also, I think if they postpone, we might not get a break between GS papers and optionals.

The thing is if they postone now and the peak doesn't happen this month, when will they reschedule. No body knows when a new variant might appear, so it will disturb the whole cycle. For them it's better to get it done with now than to leave it to future circumstances
