Dear Friends,
Last Sunday, we conducted the SFG Entrance Test at 9:30AM. The results for the same is now declared.

- Discounted pricing for Students Selected in “SFG” and “RLG” for Prelims Toolkit ( Valid for 48 hours only )- Click here
Warning! Students who make payment without being selected, their payment will be forfeited without any refunds. Also RLG students who make SFG payments, their payment will also be forfeited. You must make payments as per your category. You will not be allowed to write tests if you do so, and you will have to make fresh payments as per category for the same.
Please note that there is no SFG list in online mode. Students who take test in online mode will be part of RLG only. Also, for those students who are writing tests in online mode in all honesty, they can benchmark their actual performance from the offline score and ranklist regularly, and ought not be intimidated by the unusually impressive marks of online test takers.
Candidates who have NOT been able to make it, can re-apply for the second entrance test, if they feel it was not their day, which will be announced later. However, we have kept a low benchmark for the selection assuming that some candidates may not have been able to perform due to things not in their control such as buggy website, or poor internet etc.
A small personal note
SFG is not easy. Its a demanding thing. It is not just another test series, so just do not join it with a lightweight attitude. It will demand things from you, but it will transform you. It works for us because it has helped our students clear prelims – but thats not all – it has transformed them so that when they come to us for Mains after doing SFG – we can help them clear the Mains too.
With less than 700 students who did SFG properly last year, we have two in top 5 – Ishita who gave us Rank 1 and Smriti who gave us Rank 4. We should have more than 30 people in the Top 100 ranks who did SFG diligently. We expect that those of you reading this, are able to give the same commitment to the program. Do not join if you have no faith, nor the discipline to do it.
We also expect that the next Rank 1 comes from one of who hasnt cleared Prelims before, but is going to slog this time, and give their blood sweat and tears ( and not excuses ).
At Forum, we specialise in turning failure stories into successful ones. In fact we look for good people who have messed up and we love fixing things. We almost take it as a challenge.
And be it Minal, Natasha, Ishita or Smriti – there is no one who did not flunk prelims before, and look what wonderful success stories they are today.
We can always move from failure to success, but not from excuses to success.
This new year, as it comes – make a pledge to make it your best year in terms of studies, and success will be yours.
A note to Patna Students
A big applause to students from Patna center who are always able to make it to the Top 10 despite a minuscule number of people appearing from there. We remember among the first students to appear at Patne Test Center was one Utkarsh, who gave us Rank 68 this year. We hope the folks from Patna give is great ranks this year too!
A note to students from Hyderabad
From the very year we announces forumias academy, it is Hyderabad which has always given us some of the most brilliant students. We almost began our career as a serious academy working with students like Dhatri Reddy, Anudeep ( now District Collector, Hyderabad ), Varun Reddy ( Rank 7 ) , and last year Uma ( Rank 3 ) and Sahithya ( Rank 24 the year before, who has a wonderful blog here ). We expect that we should have someone from SFG from Hyderabad in the top 5 ranks in the coming year.
Fingers crossed.
No pressure.
