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.

hey all@Gaurav  @sstarrr @psyduck @adivasi , i was just thinking if anyone will be interested in collaborating note making for GS Mains topics. lets say even each one prepares a topic a day for 2 weeks will get us 50-60 topics covered for GS. 3-4 ppl will be enough. if u r seriously interested to prepare, we can collaborate. it will bring differnt dimensions for a topic as well. its entirely mains oriented.

I don't think I am at that stage as of now. I have strated preparation since August only and still need a lot of understanding to be developed. I may end up making a lot of copy pasting.


Still I would like to be a part of the excercise for a better development of head space.

@Vinay12 hi , I think you r much more experienced in this, I just started this june, I don't think I would be able to give my best to it, rather become free rider, which I don't want to become. Thanks for asking though. All the best.

@psyduck @sstarrr  just my thoughts, it's not abt experience or nt experienced in mking notes, all of us are giving 2021 and gng to read for mains only till feb(mostly).notes actually develop over time, it just needs to start. I myself feel my content is not enof or it's just nt reflecting in my answers well. Anyway it's only a suggestion. Thanks for the response.

One of the golden strategy to start with is get familiar with Upsc papers first and practice some questions.. As per thedeep analysis reportof Examrobots the matching percentage may go as high as 50-60%. If you havepracticed previous year papers, chances are you will get these bonus marks easily. Those who have neverpracticed the previous year papers will spend more time on the question and maybe left behind in the race of lacs. Thus, to stay ahead in the competition, one must not skip the previous year papers.
