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.  
100 students will be selected for SFG - 50 from online mode and 50 from students who gave the test in offline mode in Delhi and Patnacenter. The remaining students will be selected for RLG. 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.

@Neyawn Sir, Namaste Sir !
Sir I have qualified for SFG, and currently I am in a dilemma. I have state pcs Mains due in April/ May. That is very essential for me to clear with flying colours to get a backup.
Your one line is revolving in my mind that mindset and approach are different in pre and mains preparation. So please tell me how to balance both ? I need to do/revise GS Mains, Geography Optional and Language papers till May.
P.S Although I am confident about Pre 2022 as prior to that I have cleared pre 3 times but not sure as pre has become more and more dicey. Also CSAT is a monster now.
Waiting for your suggestions !
If you have cleared Prelims 3 times, you do not need my suggestion. Just do not forget what you have done so far to clear the Prelims before, and under no circumstance ignore that.
As far as my understanding is concerned, you develop an understanding and knack for Prelims through some super duper hard work, at least once. After that prelims is not a challenge.
Regarding fear of Prelims, I am yet to meet someone who is not afraid of Prelims just before the exam.
I was going through the offline test takers and SFG toppers of Hyderabad Center and Delhi Center, I could clearly see at least 3 students who are in IPS and 1 student already in IRS who are selected in the SFG group.
In fact from Hyderabad, out of handful of people writing tests offline, at least two people are already serving officers in AIS and Central Services. ( This is a bad thing, This kinda means, we still do not have mass appeal, freshers do not know us ( I get to hear that a lot ) , and remain some sort of 'elitist' as a coaching institute )
And they are like seasoned people. So the prelims fear is real.
What do they say abour courage? It does not mean the absense of fear. It means doing things despite the fear.
Do not forget the basis of cracking prelims, stick to it, and you will do well.
As for PCS, you will have to give it day and night 20 days or so just before the exam, and leave everything. That is how most people I know have cracked PCS.
I know you since the second year of my college!
Are you from same college as I am ? :-)
I am no knight. Do not call me Sir|Philosophy behind ForumIAS

I have a doubt.
In question no. 38, the 3rd statement 'Political Justice proposes that there should be no limits on freedom of thought and expression of the individual' is given as correct.
Can such a sweepeing statement be correct? Shouldn't it be something like no arbitrary limits on freedom of thought etc.?
