this window.
In case you are already enrolled in any Forum Prelims Test Series - you can continue in the old Test Series and complete the syllabus as per the schedule. You can additionally join the SFG test to attempt the tests in a disciplined manner.
All Prelims Test Series Programs offer complete flexibility and can be written till CSE Prelims 2024. SFG Tests however, have to be written on the same day and same time.
The SFG / RLG is a subsidised program where ForumIAS bears 60% of the cost of the program from its other programs. Admissions and continuance in the program is completely at the discretion of ForumIAS, and membership to the program will be
terminated in case a candidate is found cheating. No refunds shall be made on any grounds.
The success of the program lies in inculcating the qualities of discipline, hard work, punctuality, time-boundedness, and abiding by rules.
In SFG 2024 level 2, we will be covering current affairs, CSAT and other important/specific chapters from other standard books.
The SFG Program will end by April last Week. After this it is expected that students will spend the time doing self study, and the last leg of revision.
