Here are some tricks to crack IIFT exams
Paper based and so, getting an overview, solving or letting go of questions is easier compared to a CBT
Marking answers takes time and concentration so, you have to account for around 10 minutes to do this
Data interpretation is extremely calculation based and has huge tables
LR is slightly below CAT level
Verbal ability is around/slightly lower than that of CAT
Reading comprehension is tedious and the questions are of the multiple fact-finding type (Question followed by 3-4 statements and the answer options are a combination of 2 or more of these statements one among which is right; effectively 3-4 single factual questions combined in one)
Quant is slightly higher than CAT with the focus on geometry, modern math, compared to basic arithmetic
GK is a separate section and it is focused on business awareness with a sprinkling of static and general GK questions
The cut-offs although present are pretty low and are more of a formality compared to other entrance test.
