2023-06-29 00:13:05 As I came up with CSE-24 preparation post for GS, I got many queries regarding CSAT preparation strategy.

Therefore, I conducted the same exercise that I did for GS i.e. floated a form in my Mains-23 group to ask from those who cleared CSAT-2023 that how should CSE-2024 Aspirants go about it.

This excel details the responses that I received from ones who cleared CSE-23 Prelims/CSAT Paper.

Following post includes Excel File of 152 responses and identifies most referred sources by those who cleared CSE-23 Prelims.
