General Knowledge in IIFT

General Knowledge is one area of IIFT that worries most aspirants but note  that the GK cut-offs will also be proportionately lower. So, it is not necessary to crack the GK section separately. You just need to attempt sufficient questions to clear the cut-off. Even if you can attempt 14-15 questions with say, 11 correct, you should do well.

Another point, with respect to GK in IIFT, is that the exam has traditionally had a lot of match the column kind of questions. 

This, in a way, is a blessing because each answer option has multiple combinations given e.g. i-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d etc. So, even if you don’t know the answer to all 4 combinations, there is always the possibility of knowing 1 or 2 of the combinations and getting the answer using elimination. 

We suggest that you look at the last few IIFT Mock paper to get a feel of these questions.
