Geometry & Trigonometry at IIFT

Geometry has grown in importance over the last 3 years. However, unlike CAT, where circles and triangles have been historically critical, IIFT has a fascination for trigonometry, both heights and distances as well as trigonometric expressions (including double angles, half angles etc.). Hence, while practicing Geometry for IIFT, make it a point to give sufficient time to Trigonometry.

 A notable feature of the IIFT DI sets is that the paper generally has 3-4 sets with 4-5 questions per set. However, each set is time-consuming and very calculation intensive. Also, the last couple of years have seen a case-study type of set which has been slightly simpler.

 In IIFT, keep in mind that you will NOT be able to attempt all the DI questions, without affecting your performance elsewhere. So, if there are 4 sets, identify 2 that are the simplest or least time consuming, solve them well and move on. You can always try the remaining 2 if you have spare time.

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.

Success Mantras for PI

It is said that best strategy is the straight thinking process. Likewise you need to realize that Personal Interview must become so personal that admission selection panel must get an impression that here is a person who is speaking from heart and soul. 

Any mantra will be failure if not being practiced from heart. You must ensure that your answers are coming from your mind and you must not be hyperbole on any answer which you might respond out of blue.

If you are not aware of any question then it is much better to say that you are not aware of or you have yet to understand the domain.

Responding with enthusiasm is always better because that reflects the positivity and confidence within you.

Positive attitude is the only Mantra not only to cover up the entire above but to be successful and achieve mission at PI.
