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.

Anyway, to have hope is to be alive. Will try to bounce back from this debacle. The strategy would be to spread out yesterday's lost work through the come days.
Everybody, since COVID daily cases are now past 80k, be mentally and materially prepared for any unforeseen disruptions.
We will rise again! :)
I had done Nitin Singhania last year. It's selective reading can work well. First 2 chapters + chapter on Jainism and Buddhism+ Literature are comprehensively covered in that book. You can do chapters on dance, music, festivals etc. only if you have enough time. It's utility is very low looking at past few years trend and some PT material will cover it in brief anyway.Late! Shame
Geography - India's climate+Amit Sengupta videos on climatology.
July CA revision
Polity- Sfg portion
Considering doing Art and Culture since ancient medieval is fresh in my head. Nitin Singhania book or notes?
Animesh_Maths,
Not able to complete yesterdays target . May be too high targets for myslef were set. Today would complete them anyhow. Like@SergioRamos would divide the targets for the next few days. Good Luck everyone . :)
Last 4 chapters remaining from TN Ancient and Medieval bookGeography continues - Oceans unit and rivers/Hills/WLS of the southOptional Time today - Caste system+ Tribal communitiesCan anyone suggest some geography help videos for concepts. Please don't suggest Rajtanil Ma'am I can't seem to get into it. Any other suggestions?Amit Sengupta.
Amit Sengupta is very good. I liked it, and have sticked to it. Mrunal, though huge respect his channel and mam's effort, but honestly for me, AS is absolutely flawless. Good sound (loved his baritone voice). Good quality (pictures, flowcharts, diagrams etc). And very well structured.
I would advise against making notes out of it. There are two reasonsHow good are the IE Explained pages from prelims perspective? Is it worth making notes out of them for the past few months?
- Most of the current affairs questions in UPSC have become random and scarce. Sometimes news 2-3 years back is asked. Very little utility in making systematic notes out of any newspaper from Prelims persepctive. Better to spend that time in consolidating static portion and revising a good coaching compilation multiple times.
- Rau's IAS has started an initiative of making videos on their YouTube channel every week on IE Explained section. They also provide notes. You can check that out.
