IIFT 2023 Exam Tips: VARC section

If we look at the RCs, Which have lengthy passages followed by factual questions, remember that factual questions are not inference-based. It is advised to start by reading the questions first and then read the RC because a lot of information in the passage is redundant, so when you read the question, you will know where you should focus.

And when it comes to verbal ability, we know there are two parts. This is entirely different from other MBA entrance exams. Verbal ability focus on vocab and grammar. When it comes to vocab, the questions are asked based on the origin of words, But you need to improve your vocab in this limited time magically. So what you should do in these last few days is to quickly revise the GRE word list and roots of the words to improve your vocab.

When it comes to grammar, reading helps here. If you are a regular reader, you read quality content daily. If we talk about the attempt strategy, firstly target the verbal ability question, which consumes less time, and then move on to the RCs.

IIFT 2023 Exam Tips: DILR section

When it comes to the DILR Section, the DI question in IIFT is more straightforward but mostly calculation intensive, which takes a lot of time, but is easier than CAT DI questions. So it is advised to revise your speed matrics, especially ratios, percentages and approximations. And the cut-offs for this section are also low. So try to answer this section’s eight questions with 100 per cent accuracy. Of course, the cut-off may vary based on the difficulty level of the paper. But it is safe to attempt eight questions with 100 per cent accuracy.

IIFT 2023 Exam Tips: Quants section

The major topics tested in this section are arithmetic and geometry, which are mostly asked in almost 50 per cent of the section. Also, it is advised to quickly revise some other topics such as Probability, clocks, algebra and so on. And mainly, if you are weak in quant, it is better to focus more on arithmetic and geometry. And when it comes to the number of attempts, it is safe to attempt six questions with 100 per cent accuracy.

How to crack IIFT 2023?

The exam does not have sectional time limits, but there are sectional cut-offs. Therefore, attempt enough in all the sections to clear the cut-offs. Then return to your section of choice and do as many questions as possible. Mark the OMR sheet now and then. Do not keep postponing the task and miss out on marking some questions.

While allocating time for various questions, take the time for marking into consideration too. Also, do not mark an option you are unsure of. Unlike Computer-based tests, you do not have the option of taking your choice back in the future. Therefore, do not mark an option and regret it. Only mark questions that you are completely confident of getting right.

Though IIFT has not mentioned any sub-sectional cut-offs, an attempt to at least six questions from every subsection to be on the safer side, also, do not take GK lightly and miss out on the call. Make sure you clear the cut-off in the GK section.
