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.
@DM is writing with a black pilot v7 a problem. Some people in the centre said there's some issue of writing with black or blue pen. I wrote today's paper with a black pen.

Phase 1 GS papers over.
- I was a bit slow in GS1 and 2. Attempted all the questions and I did not completely bluff in the unknown ones so I partially attempted them (Twister wala). But I implemented my strategy to the point.
- Satisfied with GS3 and 4. Completed both the papers and executed my strategy properly.
- I wrote on topic 4 and 8 for Essay. I am completely satisfied after attempting the paper.
Overall, I am completely satisfied with my efforts and performance in the exam hall. This is the max I could do at the moment. The battle is not over. Now time for maths optional. All the best everyone!
डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है
जा जाकर "खाली हाथ" लौटकर आता है
मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में
बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती....
कोशिश करने वालों की "हार" नहीं होती...

Not much satisfied with my performance. Attempted all questions except Twister in GS papers and Wrote essay on happiness and adversity topics. Upset with my inability to recollect dimensions of ethics in examhall . However I have done my bit and now it's the work of examiners to assess.
Hoping to do my best in optionals. It's not over unless it's over.
Phew!! Time flies during mains.
Wish you all the best comrades.

Attempt done for me.
Didn't write single flt before mains.left atleast 30 marks in each paper.
Wrote garbage in other answers.
Opt paper 2 still remains😂.
Suggestion-jumping to prelims prep in dec is bad for anyone with substantial mains part remaining.Best for 1st attempt would be to do mains till march.if by luck clear prelims then excellent otherwise start early in 2nd attempt.
No regrets of not clearing but sad part is i did not expect it to go this bad.
Lesson-go to delhi between pre and mains.no envt at here for mains.wasted so much time.
P.S-long search for pen ends at pentel energel .7 click version
My first attempt first mains,
Never expected to complete the paper even in dreams. Last FLT, took around 3hr 50min to complete. But in actual paper, attempted all the questions barring ‘Twister’ ( a page on ocean currents:) ). I don’t know how I wrote but just kept writing with@Neyawn Sir’s mindset of ‘one sword, 20 enemies’. And finished off all including Ethics paper that I never ever imagined.
Not expecting anything but with strong determination to conquer whatever comes ahead, will keep sharpening my sword!
Best wishes to all for Compulsory and Optional!
The Battle is ON!
To people who are wasting time instead of doing their optionals, remember you need just one winner score to ace this exam. This could well be your optional.
Its not over until its over.
Study. Now.

Mains over. Maths optional papers were extremely tough. I had scored nearly 300 in Abhyaas in opt and I had worked extremely hard in this attempt.
I don't think any number of mocks would have prepared me for this kind of paper. It was extremely difficult.
But anyhow, I gave my best. That's all I could do this time around. If I fail this time, I am ready to start again.
