Buddy ... Every college has weightage given to academic scores but i can assure u that its not the decisive factor.
If u can perform well in the other three main parameters i.e Written Test , GD & Pi ..then u wud surely be thru..

All the Best !!

I am not a senior but appeared for iift last time. look there are a lot of parameters on which selection is based. initial calls are based only on written and in second stage ur gd and pi plaa pivotel part in ur selection. after gd/pi generally work ex comes in order of importance professors generally have look on overall profile which other then work ex also contain academics and extracuricular . ur record other then xii is quite good and u should be able to explain ur dip in xii marks during interview. so if u work on other parameters there is no reason why u should not get selected. please channalise ur efforts on things u can control.

please note that institute does not provide any list of weights to each parameter rather they do not even declare all parameters so all information is based on judgements and experience during gd/pi by students. for more information i advice u to go to last years pg thread for iift

[quote=Mou Sukoshi;1181145]Is there ne gk sec? do we need to clear the cut off? usually what is the cut off? I find it difficult to remember such a lot of info. if there is a gk sec I hv to forget applying.snrs plz help.
thnx[/quotte]

there was cut off in year before last but no cut off was there last year. Well I wont say gk section section of iift was current affairs centric. In fact last years and year before that the kind of gk that was asked was toughest
i have seen any where because in a single question mostly tables were given so u have to know a lot of things before u answer one uestion. actually in iift nov-06
gk had one or ore correct answers(but no negative marking for this section). other then current gk question were asked from static gk such as history geography and science. it was an amulgum of every thing. but hey u still dont have to worry because only relative performance matters when sections are very tough cut offs would be very low. actually in any exam it is my belief that it is easier section u should be carefull and try to maximise ur score and avoid silly mistakes also in current affairs give a lot of focus on business gk.

@ prfs, rathore
hi this is arpit gandhi.iift mba ib 2008-2010 batch..schedule for our batch is, as always pretty hectic...will still try to address as many queries as possible.
there is some wightage to past academic record, but trust me v have many people with 60-70% marks in grad/boards et al, freshers and that too not from great colleges.my own academic record is
BE 76%
12th 75.6
10th 80%
its pretty average so to say.right now give ur best shot.prepare well for the written.some tips are

1.increase ur speed.questions r based on standard patterns.having a good identification of them will surely help.make calculations faster.
2.gk will be there.the cut off is generally very low.i had a score of 1.01 and i know ppl with scores less than this who got calls.
3.lr is pretty easy.target this section for scores.
4.the pattern is not fixed.so b ready for some surprise.
hope it throws enuf light on the preparation.
no need to take extra load.the course is same as cat.for gk try reading stuff on exports,imports,imf,world bank,gatt,wto et al...
