Getting far too many DMs for CSAT. Here is my take:
1) 125 candidates of CSE-23 who cleared CSAT have filled this excel regarding what worked for them.
2) Gist is:
a) Solve PYQPs repeatedly and understand concept behind solving a question. Identify weak and strong zones.
b) Solve mocks and identify weak and strong zones.
c) Through PYQPs and Mocks, identify how many questions you need to solve to qualify.
d) Don't stress and exam hall and keep your nerves.
e) Based on your practice, identify whether RC is easy or quant before attempting 2024 CSAT. Solve the easier portion more.
f) Identify doable questions in quant rather than wasting time on tough or lengthy questions.
3) So, more than the exam, it is about the strategy that you devise.
4) Refer this post for Top 10 Focus Areas for CSAT and prepare accordingly.
5) 25 or so days are remaining. This time period is good enough even for late bloomers to qualify CSAT.

I expected love as well as flak for the decision and i am receiving both in abundance.
I want to make following noteworthy points:
1) I am not violating conduct rules unlike many others who are running paid courses while being in service. Isnt it better in all aspects to resign from service and then do what you aspire to do?
2) When I attempted exam again after getting IPS, people said I am arrogant about my chances for IAS. When i left IPS for IRS, people said i did it for money. Now same set of people are again linking leaving IRS with 'more money' in teaching. So, you cant argue with such people.
3) I am here to bring tectonic shift in this 'industry' and Aspirants community will benefit from it not only academically but in monetary terms as well.
4) As far as argument of wasting a seat goes; its a shame that I have to say it, but truth is that for the time I was here with the government, I worked with utmost dedication. You will be surprised to know that many of my seniors are onboard with my decision because they have seen me work as well as guide aspirants (some of being their own kids!).
I hope and wish that this msg reaches far corners here on Telegram and other social media platforms, just like the resignation clip/news, and that this is my first and final 'clarification' to trolls.
Hereon, all my energy shall be dedicated to help aspirants in decoding civils :)
