CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine

Gauravsaid

It's a lone fight, and it's must be fought alone now. Any search of study partner, peer group, guidance programme, coaching, mentorship, etc etc is futile and most likely not going to serve the purpose- at least in my case. Clearing this exam doesn't depend on one's capacity- I was fully capable but I couldn't. Excelling here depends on whether or not one is focussed, and able to consistently devote a sufficient number of quality hours. Enough of today's lecture. :) 

you may be right. but the so called right approch not worked this time. I am in search of what went wrong. and guess what m still searching. i know at least two ppl who ticked 100 questions are writing mains. they were not even close to my prep:-

1. one ex-manager a PSB : was busy with share market investment. hardly solved 10 mocks. was scoring 70+ in tests writing mains.


2. Another one crying whole time that i left my material in ORN cant study, this lockdown ruined my attempt. age is the issue or left attempt n all that. Can tell you that he was not read even single month CA is writing mains. 

#PM_tukka_maro yojna made their day. I was consistently getting 120+ in vajiram and forum tests and now writing this post.

Now can you tell me what to do? Chill and do whatever you can. :)

Truth be told, I don't know which areas I should focus on. I lost prelims 2019 and now 2020. It's so frustrating. I don't know how to start. F#ck.

First of all, it's really sad to know that you couldn't clear Prelims even after preparing hard. Secondly, I was about to write something above but then I pressed backspace button and avoided, and it was that certain luck is also involved which sometimes plays an imp role. Maybe your case was the one falling in it. Thirdly, you should figure out what went wrong in your case but at the same time your friends should not boast about their Prelims result, and this is because a CSE aspirant can bring no more dishonour to his Civils cycle than clearing Prelims somehow and writing Mains only to flunk in it. So, what I mean to say is that you are better off anytime. It's better to fail in Prelims itself than writing Mains without prep and failing in it. If they were really so much unprepared for Prelims going by your description, can they be expected to clear Mains? So, don't think that they have done something great by passing Prelims with the helps of all those tukkas and conjectures because eventually they are going to be out of the cycle soon. 'Writing mains' as said by you isn't a big thing, clearing Mains is. And Mains, as you yourself must be knowing, can't be prepared in 2.5 months, it's all about piecemeal approach of amassing knowledge over a period of minimum 10-12 months which can then be applied in the examination hall. So leave them, but yes it's really surprising that you couldn't clear it given you were consistently scoring 120+ in mocks and I understand how tough it will be for you to bear it. 

I am a man without prejudice. Don't have even against them. No reason. 

Yes but understand. They are like good at mains. Writing good answers. They have very good chance of clearing it. 


You need to understand here that a large chunk of ppl get thrown out of this process at preliminary level itself. They are prepared for mains. 

Every failed candidate says this. May be.... I was dam prepared for this mains. Even ready with essay themes. Just 15/20 tests and I am done. But????

Bhai, mains is much easier. Some ethos and if u are prepared well, no one will stop you. Just a balance needed. Mrunal says " aapko kam kharab answer likhne hai" and "maan ki baat" nahi likhni.
