SFG – How it works 

  • Select Focus Group (SFG) is a small group of students who are selected by ForumIAS every year for coaching them to clear the UPSC Prelims Examination.
  • Every single candidate selected and retained consistently in the group with Top ranks has cleared the Prelims examination in the past.  
  • 100 Students will be selected for the Select Focus Group, through the SFG Entrance Test, who will be required to report at 7AM every day 6 days a week to write an hour-long test based on a pre-planned syllabus, followed by a discussion on the same.
  • Candidates who are unable to make it to the SFG, will be maintained in a Reserve List, who can also write the tests. Candidates who couldn’t clear the cutoff and are unable to make it into both SFG and RLG can register for the 2nd Entrance Test. 
  • Tests are conducted daily and results are provided within 8 hours of the test with Name and Rank list for candidates to evaluate their daily performance. On the basis of ranks, about 50% of bottom-performing students from SFG are migrated to the reserve list on a weekly basis, and an equal number of students from reserve list (RLG) are moved into SFG.  
  • The decision of the management in this regard is final and not subject to dispute. Please note that this migration is done not keeping in mind the overall merit list but moving away bottom 50% from SFG and picking up an equal number of people from RLG. 
  • Thus those who may be getting more than RLG students, but are bottom 50 in SFG will be moved to RLG.  
  • Every month, the bottom 20% or so non-performing students are eliminated from the program to maintain the quality of competition.  
  • All candidates writing the CSE 2022 are eligible to apply for the entrance test.  
  • This year we introduce some changes as to how we conduct the SFG exam. Please note that changes that we bring are always in response to the examination pattern, the student feedback, and our own learning with respect to how to best enable a serious candidate to clear the exam.   

    Application Procedure  

    • The program will commence from 7th March 2022, admission to which will be entrance-based. The Entrance Test will be conducted on 20thFebruary 2022 in both online and offline mode. The results of the Entrance Test will be announced by 22ndFebruary 2022.  

    • Admission to the SFG and RLG are based on the rank of the candidate in the merit list of the SFG Entrance Test. Students can apply for the program by registering for the Entrance Test by paying a fee of Rs. 500+ GST. Candidates can register by visitinggo.forumias.com/sgfL2. The candidate must appear for the entrance test on the designated date and time, subsequent to which he/she will be admitted to the Select Group or the Reserve List.

Students can switch from online to the offline mode or vice versa before attempting the first test. The ranklist of online and offline students will be published separately.

                                          No disrespect to teachers/coaching but don't you all think that studying Economic Geography serves very little purpose for the exam? Instead can't we just trace the things individually like whatever agriculture types, minerals, transportation n industries on the maps?

                                          Few days back after I decide not to subscribe for the second phase of SFG program as it was not in sync with my plan, I found out that my access to the previous tests has been revoked. 

                                          On inquiry with@farejul I was informed that the program was subscription based and if not subscribed for the second month my access would be revoked. This is a new policy regarding which we were nowhere informed. I still have access to my 2020 and 2021 SFG. So why such sudden shift. 

                                          Farej sir helped me out to an extent but it was not sufficient as I will not be able to analyse and compare my past attempt to plug in my loop holes. 

                                          I had relied solely on SFG tests for revision in last bout but sudden policy change is not comprehensible. This is very distressing. Please help!

                                          Sorry, There has been no policy change. This is a subscription based program, where you cannot pay the full fee at one go, and course access is removed when you do not renew.

                                          Also, we feel that the more important subjects - from which variable, non-book based questions come are in the second month. It is anyway detrimental. Everyone wants to study Polity, Economy. The real tests are Env, SnT etc that differentiate the students.

                                          This information was not clearly mentioned at the time of enrolling. I went ahead with the previous experience of SFG and MGP etc. where my access for the paid courses continued.

                                          Secondly I am not demanding for access to new tests but the tests I have paid for. Every test series or course in ForumIas is subscription based. I had no such experience with previous SFGs. 

                                          Also being an online student who has no hard copy of question paper or knowledge of my attempts, isn't it discriminatory with respect to offline students. The only tangible thing from this course was digital access to my tests.

                                          Regarding importance of subjects like economy and S&T. I agree with your views and am working on those subjects with a slightly different approach after analysing my past performance in prelims, test series and SFG L1. 

                                          So I request you to kindly restore access to my attempted tests as there was information asymmetry regarding the policy.

                                          I was busy in interview prep since the past month and thus couldn’t follow updates, I have missed any payment update that must have come for the second month. How do I resolve this and get access to SFG again?

                                          Yes, you have to renew this program then you will get access.

                                          Can you please provide me the payment link?

                                          Kindly drop a mail to farej@flaviant.com
