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.

Hello, after weeks of lurking I’ve realised I need some serious accountability. So here I go:

1. Medieval history- notes making (early morning session)

2. Post independence history- till chapter 4 (is it too ambitious? We’ll see)

3. IE editorial backlog

4. PSIR- international system and actors 

5. Daily current affairs

@Celeborn @ichigo_ichie Thankyou :)

I have been using good notes 5 for note making. It doesn’t have any separate format for it but I used the tool which is for having background of a text to make these boxes and added elements (new feature).

Started my day off well (probably because I posted here :p). It started to lag with the post lunch session, thanks to an unintended YouTube wormhole. But picked up again in the evening and managed to complete all targets, except the post independence note making and 2 subsections of PSIR. In other news, I also managed to complete my first 10k run. I’m hoping this post-run enthusiasm carries over tomorrow as well

Maths ->watched 1.5 lectures 

Ethics ->answer writing + some revision of notes 

I woke up early. Too early. Was sleepy/tired throughout the day. Hence couldn't be as productive as usual. However, I'm going to bed much earlier than before so hopefully my sleep habits will be better soon. 

Tomorrow's targets 

1)Maths 3 lectures 2)CA one pending class 3)Newspaper 4)Ethics revision

After 2 weeks of not posting daily routine, will continue from today. Need to get the shit done. 



To-do for 2-06-2021 


  • Physics - mechanics- revision and tut sheet- 7 hours
  • Probable topics - NDHM;  Reservation policy - 1 hour 
  • Ethics - complete value table - 2 hours 
  • Timer time - 10hr 9mins

Completed probable topics- NDHM, NEP, minimum marriage age. 

Allocated more time for ethics, started off with philosophers 

Couldn't do much in mechanics- did ≈50% of the targeted portion. 



To-do for 3-06-2021 

  • Mechanics- will try to complete it with tut sheet
  • Probable topics- reservation policy (carry forward from today); few women issues left to cover
  • Ethics- consolidate philosophies; read atul garg case study; watch atish 1st case study lecture  


Will resume timer bound study after few days of discipline, hurts when you can't finish that off.
