CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Those who are writing sfg or planning to go for it or have done in past. How do they manage test series along with it.

I dont do any other test series other than SFG..

I did give 3 open mocks from 3 different institutes but did not really find them helpful for me per se..

However, I did solve PYQS from 2000 onwards.. 3-4 times... 

SFG already covers a good enough portion and I personally don't think there is a need to join a separate test series just for the sake of it.. 
You may agree to disagree..

What does it mean? I have certificate dated 31.12.2020 i.e, FY 2020-21 only.

The relevant financial years are for ascertaining your non-creamy layer status. That requires financial records of last three years. That means your OBC certificate should be a newly updated one authorized in the last one year i.e. After 1st April 2021. What you have won't be valid, as far as I aware.

@naviiin it's confusing. If you call UPSC they will tell you that you should have certificate as mentioned in notification but if you ask dopt they'll say that get latest one at the time of documents verification.

@naviiin It means when you went to the SDM for your OBC certificate or when you applied for it - you had attached the income slips of the above mentioned years. Any of the ways you need to show the certificate during mains i guess. You will have to get a new one then. Centre ka OBC certificate ka validity one year hota hai.
