Official: SFG / RLG All Tests Discussions in one place

Hello All,

The Group usage here is a little cumbersome, so I am creating this thread to make sure that all questions with doubts stay in one place. Can someone push all the doubts and queries here? I will make this an announcement?

@Thinker question-29, test 12- Answer given is A which is absolutely wrong, please rectify, it should be C as it is asking correct options.

It is C only as mentioned in the key.

@Thinker Q4, test 12- it is 12 States and not 11, Laxmikant has not counted 1 state, article371-2 state (Mh,Guj), then 371A-J consist 10 States. Please do rectify

Yes, there are a total of 12 States. Article 371 itself mentions Maharashtra and Gujrat & Article 371 D mention Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. But Article 371 E is for Andhra again. So a total of 12 States with 11 articles from 371 to 371 J.

@Thinker shouldn't we consider all articles separate.? Are Articles  371-A to Article 371-J separate articles or amendments to the same article A371? (2 states (Maha + Guj) or 12 States?)

Can someone pls tell about how people are shifted from sfg to rlg when the avg score of sfg people is greater than those who have been moved from rlg to sfg this week? Shouldn't combined rank be considered to get top 100 for sfg as this was being told while enrollment at the admission desk. Please help regarding this.

Obviously they are different articles. A total of 11 Articles including Article 371 (i.e. Article 371 & Article 371 A B C D E F G H I J) provides special status to 12 states in India. Whenever the article is mentioned in capital letters it is a separate article and whenever article is mentioned in small letters it is just a clause of that article.

No, the rules say that each week candidates will be shuffled where Bottom 50 performing students from SFG will be moved int RLG and an equal number from RLG will be moved to SFG.

Otherwise people who have somehow managed to get 60-80 ranks in SFG will get complacent, and will plateau there!

@ForumIAS-Academy  Sir with due respect , please consider this provision of allowing top 50 students from rlg to attend daily discussions  as value addition from daily discussion suffers due to this.

Query regarding question number 38, in test number 12

This was not the first time that RBI has transferred stands wrong according to the my references. Please look into the attachments and confirm

the RBI has often transferred surpluses to the government over the years. For instance, in 2017-18, it transferred Rs 50,000 crore of surplus to the government, including an interim dividend. In 2016-17, the transfer was to the tune of Rs 30,659 crore.
