CSE Mains 2021 Experience explained by  Rahul Chavan, IPS'20 UPSC CSE'19 AIR 109. General studies paper 4  How I attempted : - started with case studies .. alloted 15 minutes for each case study i.e .total 90 minutes..but It took 10 extra minutes and led to little bit mis management of time allotted for section A...And then attempted Section A ..  Analysis- Section B Case studies were relatively easy but there were around 4 sub- questions on almost every case study , so Qs became lengthy and ultimately time consuming..Key to solving such lengthy Qs is a good speed and more answer writing practice..(One must avoid habit of writing stakeholders , facts of case , subject matter, values involved etc in lengthy questions.
