Cut Offs at IIFT



The IIFT cut-offs are generally on the lower side (around 35). Logically, since there are 4 sections, the average cut-off per section will be in the range of 8-10.

What this means for you is that question selection becomes important. You may not need to attempt all questions from a section to clear IIFT

Identify the questions that seem solvable, attempt them and move on. Note that IIFT has always been a 2 hour exam and the number of questions has always been more than 120.

This means that you have less than a minute to solve a question. As such, don’t even attempt to solve all questions in the paper, or even within a section. Try to have a balanced attempt!

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.
