Thoughts/ observations/ to-dos based on what many users and I have seen in CoWin booking
1. Find the pattern of slot allotment timing
Hospitals/ centres are adding slots at certain time of the day. You can easily check these timings based on past alerts on the Telegram channels for your city.
Stay logged in CoWIN during these times!
2. When you get the Telegram alert, check for the pincode of the centre and use this to search in CoWin. (Pincode search gives a smaller list of centres and hence might be easier to spot and click)
3. If multiple dates are opened, try and book a further date. (I am sure you are aware by now that you are competing with scripts. #Bengaluru) Booking scripts will always try for the earliest slot by design. So you try the furthermost one
4. If there is availability only for one day, stay on that page and hit search button. Sometimes, the alert first comes for Day 1, after a few minutes, they add slots for the next day in the same centre. So staying on and checking for a little time might sometimes be worth it. Login in every 15mins range before desired slot as sever automatically logs you out. Keep timer for 15 mins and re login every 15 minutes.
5. Using laptop instead of phone seems to be better. Using CoWin instead of Aarogya Setu is also recommended by people who are successful in booking the slots.
6. Keeping Telegram notifications on a special ringtone would help in quicker response as you will know what that notification was for.

Find the Latest one, as they keep changing. Currently these are two working one as of 08/05/2021
7. Be open to vaccines. Be open to centres a little far away (if you have a way to commute safely).
