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.

Things done: 

  • PDE PYQ (90%) 
  • Ethics Answer Writing 
  • Newspaper 


Targets for today 

  • Finish PDE PYQ

  • Revise Modern Algebra Theory 

  • Ethics Answer Writing 

  • Try to find time to start Society VAM


Netflix binging has reduced but the books still look at me from afar with disdain. Let us see how today goes! 

Things done:

  • PDE PYQ Completed 
  • Modern Algebra Theory (20%)
  • Ethics Answer Writing


Targets for today:

  • Modern Algebra Theory (try to finish it)
  • Ethics Answer Writing 
  • Read Society VAM (1/3)



You're happy with your efforts in the day and are looking to finish your targets, then comes a math question that takes 2.5 hours of your time. Rhythm did break and the second half didn't go well. Today will be better. 


Posting away a line from something I wrote: "Choose now to be weak & won, or to be none?"

@DrishtiPoint Keeping your family in prayers. It's completely okay if you're unable to concentrate. Don't stress it out. Priorities family for time being.

@DrishtiPoint family being sick, especially a grandparent, is very scary. Just focus on getting through the next few days - anything you manage to study will be an accomplishment. Hope they recover quickly.
