[Official] ForumIAS SFG 2021 - Level 1 Details and Important Updates

Everyone please listen, 2360 Rs for RLG and 1500 rs for SFG is not happening.

I am not at all in favor of this fee scenario. Please you guys, refrain from payment. 
Economics is about supply demand, we the consumers need to unite in this fight against tyranny. 

You can get daily dosage of questions from anywhere and I am only asking forumias to reduce the payment amount,

Last year for offline it was 1800 and 1200, and for online it should be even less because they have no printing cost. Only a pdf needs to be created.

This is extortion guys, please speak up.

I have nothing against Forum IAS or the SFG initiative.

But, 2360 rs per month for online test is not done. It is in no means - "FAIR". And, the whole idea of segregation and difference in fees based on 'dubious online test' is harsher on those who gave it on their own. This was a major lacunae in your ill thought program.

Also, don't try to portray an institute as "Divine" or indulged in "holy work", the whole of ORN is running rat business and teachers, test series makers, brokers, photocopiers are all just playing their role to get as much money as possible. 

All I am asking is from the student's community to unite and ask Forum IAS to lower the fees to 1000 rs for both SFG and RLG. You can take those "300 students who could not make it" to recover your losses.

And I will take you as hostage not because I have paid 500rs but because you earn because of students like me who put their money in your hands.

You are correct maggie. Fee payment is monthly while shuffling is weekly.

And untill last year, ForumIAS justified 1800rs per month fees by saying "It is because of expenses in printing of papers, SFG is not a profit venture for us, its only for student's benefit" but the truth has now come out in open. 

Please Forum, Get better soon.

Hey, thank you for acknowledging the feedbacks. Can you elaborate the idea of community sfg? 

I have no problem in scheduling some pdf uploads. But 10 PM Quiz is already being posted, you want to create a ranking mechanism in it? And it'll be free, but 10PM quiz already is!?

But 10 PM Quiz is mostly current affairs and sfg is a 50 question, syllabus based test. Just demarcating the difference.

Hoping to hear from you!

Cheers.

@GravityShades Don't you feel 2360rs per month is a bit on the higher side? 
I agree that price difference acts as a motivator and that is why those who'll be honest will always be left behind. 
And most importantly, 25% hike on fees in a year is unjustified.
I was expecting the fees this year to be anything less than 1800 for RLG because it was so in offline time, keeping in mind "Printing cost".

@forumiasacademy some members are asking me about the "Community sfg" programme. Kindly update with details about such initiative.

Forum IAS just made 29 lakh rupees from an initiative conducted for welfare of students. In three months, it'll turn into around 90 lakhs. 

Marginal cost of conducting SFG would hardly be 5 lakh per month. Just had to put it out there.
