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.

need to stay away from other forum threads. Yesterday the entire time followed the ball by ball discussion on mains2020 thread.
Also can you guys tell me the utility of Shankar IAS for env. Have seen some toppers not follow it or say it is too much. If only certain chaps are important can you guys tell which ones? For Env apart from chem 11 chap on env chemistry n ecology from bio among ncerts, monthly mags, is there anything else that we need to do? Similarly for S&T do we have to do any particular chap from any specific ncerts needed or monthly mags cover them sufficiently?
thank you

Yeah, I also found Shankarias to be very boring while studying. I think it has somewhat information overload but due to FOMO I decided to complete it. You would get to know which things are needed to be memorised after seeing PYQ else you can also try Visionias environment notes as my one friend suggested it.
And last 4 chapters of 12th Biology are also important for theoretical part. Apart from that I do the current affairs from Vision magazine.
For S&T I just read CA and no book. I do not think it would be of much help as most of them are based on CA and then somewhat guesswork which I found traditional concepts in books are not very relevant for solving PT questions.
