IIFT 2004 - Likely Cut offs ???

[biharidoctor]

The -ve marking was constant, that is what one of my friends in IIFT told me.

Cut offs? phew lets hope its 50 - 55 coz thats what I am expecting. strangely no seals in the question paper and only one prototype. heard that in sum centres people started answering from 9:50 as there was no seals.

Where are all the thugs(IMS,CL..) with the analysis

best of luck for the DADDY(read CAT)

My attempts:

Quant: 41,
DI/LR: 27,
English: 36,
GK: 32.

wasn't satisfied with my performance.. let's see .. nothing more at this stage!

hey everyone
i thot iift was a f*** all paper.No the paper was quite a good one,its just that i scrwd it.
Quant: 1 hr. Dunno how many i attempted but gt really silly.liek i multiplied the area of the sector by another pie.and felt very happy while marking none of teh above.
DIdnt attempt much
VA: Damn tough .It gt me real bad
LR/DI: cd attempt all reasoning ones but with little accuracy,,,thansk to the amt of time i spent,
I had 4 mins for GK,,,it was so easy but i still scrwed it.
I messed up 4-5 good answers stuff tht i knew.

I dont expect a call

Hi all,

I have attempted 155 in all. Didnt attempt to guess in the last even though the neg. marking is quite low.

here is my sec'nl break up,

Quant - 40 - 40 mins
LR - 35+ - 35 mins
Verbal - 47 - 30 mins
GK - 30+ - in rest of the time

Overall, Quant was easy and a good bet, you can spend most of your time there, as 1 question from carries more score than 3 qns from verbal/gk..
LR was okay, but there were so many types of questions and some of them were alien.
GK - was good, and one can easily eliminate options with reasonably good knowledge.
Verbal - horrible, with words from dont_know_which_book , but managed to eliminate and then try, cause, the -ve marking is low.
overall, i feel that, cutoff should be near to 60.

Goodday ,
Chandoo

Hello there guys,
I guess I m a little late, but anyways here's my tally of attempts
QA - 31 attempts
LR - 42 attempts
VA/RC and GK - 86 attempts

So, this 55+ cut off thing I presume is out of 100 marks, rite ???

Cheers.........Jairam

hello ppl...just seeing the no of attempts everyone has made and keeping in mind the difficulty level of the paper, i guess the cut-off shud be around 55-60..but thats just what i feel.....
anyways ...started of with the verbal section...must confess this was the best verbal section of all the xams i've given this yr.....with FMS nxt week i think im headed for another tough fight with the verbal section...ended u attempting 35 in this section..
moved on to the DI/reasoning section after tis...attempted 32 in this one..dint feel like attemting more..so went over to the GK section for a breather....just loved this section...attempted 40..knew quite a few and guessed the rest.
finally the qunat section...was easy has everyone has mentioned...got a bit stuck up wiht the co-ordinate geometry questions...ended up attempting 30..
that makes it...137 attempts...results wud be out in a few weeks i guess as the prospespetus has mentioned that GD/PI"s wud start In feb....so lets hope for the best..

cheers

hey junta
cflogic.com has got an analysis abt iift 2004 and it says that the cutoff ill b sumthin like:

29-33 on a scale of 100
58 on a scale of 196
now whats this talk abt scales and all??
can someun clarify??

[Chandoo]

I think CF Loogic peeps were insane when they said, a score or 28-33 can fetch you a call from IIFT. That is too low and one can get that much in quant it self ( if one is really careful while doing questions )
Waiting for TIME/IMS/CL analyses...

Sunil Alagh was sacked by Britannnia

Current boss is Nusli Wadia.

There was only 1 passage in RC.

0.08 -ve for GK/Angrezi?

Yippee-I attempted 40/49 respectively

Quote CF:

"A net projected score of 58 on 196 or in the range of 29-33 on a scale of 100 would ensure a call from IIFT, Delhi with an optimum number of attempts in the 120-130 range."

Looks like IIFT will send out 5000 calls for 120 seats
