CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Getting around 115 (as per insights) but will fail mostly because of CSAT (attempted only 40 since focused only on maths)

@Xiodyn8261 true. NFTs are already being used for commercial transactions (many people are selling their art and celebs their pics and stuff) and Amazon sells Alexa on Amazon.in itself

I'm toh itching to start defending my answers but think I'll take 1-2 days and let market sentiment settle in first.

After the final result debacle, I now fear another possible shock within a short period of time.


Getting ~92 from the Forum key. How hopeful should we be of a further drop in the cutoff?

Csat was tough. First paper attenpted 85. Machines gonna relax. Csat may destroy my mains hopes but machine says feels like its time to move on. I wont say i wont qualify but uts 50-50. If they want clerks/SSC exam aspirants to take over ias/ips/irs/ifs then fine. No wonder cut off fell to 87. Every time a person with 106 in paper 1 doesnt qualify cuz of csat, there is one  csat guy who qualifies.  I think its shame! I am fortunate i can afford to let these three years pass. Its alright. Its okay to not get upsc. There are bigger and better things to do than sit at home and do clerk level/ssc level math! I am a fricking engineer! Would rather prep for CAT if thats the case!

Having a basic level of aptitude seems more important and relevant for a IAS/IPS than knowing a random medieval history fact.

@mithrandir31 i its not basic level. i think those problems can be solved by computers!! I think we have all our priorities wrong! Asking what happens to a guy who comes out of a master and slave! multiplying 60X7X24X60 something! like whats happening!

It is basic level only. The passages are tricky but maths questions are not difficult onsidering that you only need 67/200 . You have to do more questions and much less time in SSC/clerk exams.


I am much more worried about the direction of Paper 1. What exactly does UPSC even want from its candidates?

Think some (5-6) questions (Ancient, Medieval, in particular) are now meant to be left untouched / outright ignored, by design. Anyone who even considers them risks failure in Paper 1 (consume time, still won't get them right).

Definitely. Even with history optional, most of these questions cant be answered.
