Best wishes + Paper Discussion Mains 2024

Scrolling through over here I saw a discssion thread for every year but didn't find one for the next year.

So, this thread is dedicated to the discssions regarding CSE 2024. Anyone planning to appear for the exam next year can join the discussion.

Looking at the level of paper and kind of questions asked this year, I believe we are going to need a lot of support from each other. Hopefully this thread will grow and help a lot of aspirants, both old and new.

We can do it.

@Foolphoton @Incoming  any suggestion on managing study hours between 12-5.How are you managing it in this heat.

I go to the library so the AC there helps, moreover, find the most productive hours of your day and try and maximize your output in those shifts to make up for the lost time in the 12-5 shift. Also, avoid unnecessary travel + stay hydrated :)

@Foolphoton @Incoming  any suggestion on managing study hours between 12-5.How are you managing it in this heat.

Usually I study slot wise for 1.5 to 2hrs at max. (That's my focus span) and after that a short break of say 20-25 mins .. in the afternoon slot mostly I try to solve csat questions just to avoid getting sleepy. Can't really suggest anything on excessive heat thing as I'm preparing from my home.. here tempt. hovers around 26-27 degrees. But one thing that could be done is joining a library as #incoming suggested.   Happy study 😃
