Wishing You Success,

https://forumias.com/page/ForumIAS-Academy can you please inform whether the solutions to the entrance test will be provided or not
@forumiasacademy @Neyawn Please consider including current affairs topic-wise rather than month-wise.

AJ_Bubbles,
Can you reschedule the exam for those who are writing MP PSC exam on 25th??
Please register and drop a message to helpdesk@forumias.academy
It was said that people who are having MPPCS on entrance test date will be accommodated on later date. But now I have received e-mail to get into RLG. Why not 2nd entrance test is being conducted as always ?
SFG Test 3 answer PDF and response sheet are still awaited. Why aren't they being released?
Please clarify if simulators are included in SFG
edit : Includes Simulator. Calendar xlsx sheet has been updated.
@Neyawn @forumiasacademy This is gross injustice and violation of equality of opportunity in not letting merit decide a seat for SFG and RLG. Why are people with genuine requests not being considered for SFG? Forum has a reputation of being student friendly and i hope it continues to be like that. Please reconsider your decision.
Omen,
Joeyisthebest,
Hello guys and I got to know about this SFG in the time when level 2 was going on. I am a fresher and this would be my first attempt. How could I use this SFG level 3 for my prelims.
1) read the topics which are going to ask in the tomorrow's exam
Or
2)as Mr Ayush Sinha said that write the exam and then prepare the list (#vlog1)
@ForumIAS-Academy Any chance of being offline
We are doing it online only as of now. The offline call will be taken if any orders from govt come changing the current status. Also more than that, in offline mode more than 1000+ candidates may end up writing tests, we don’t want to be ones who put at risk so many people. Even if it’s not fatal, some of our students have reported long term impacts and weakness for months.
Got your point 😊, but I was not asking about appearing in the entrance test, wanted to know if the program can be offline, or atleast if you can allow collecting question paper at 7 am from the centre.
Not asking for any exception here, just want to know if it's possible.
Considering this actively.
Any update, on this consideration.
@forumiasacademy my name is missing from the pdf, though I have scored 62 marks. Any reason? Should I go for the payment irrespective whether it's mentioned or not?
Hi,
I was busy in office work so forgot to pay the fees during pre decided payment window. I.e 5 PM of 31 July.
Should I pay the fees now or should I wait for official confirmation from the forum's management ?
