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.

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.

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