[ayush123]

iift 2008:

oa-150q,mirror image of the iift 2007 paper..virtually the paper was of the same level as compared to the iift 2007 the only differece being the individual 6 sections as of 3 in 2007...di-extensive calculation-i found it to be the toughest among all the section..

i was lucky in gk..was astonished to c q wid the topic which i read in the last week...

ma attempts:

sec 1- 7 q - 4.9
sec 2- 0q - 0
sec 3- 7q - 5.6
sec 4- 10q - 7.0
sec 5- 13q - 3.9
sec 6- 10q - 8.0

oa- 47q - 29.40

expecting 27+/- 1 in overall

worried abt the sectional-cutoffs as have 0 attemptsin di section.

rest everyhng was good...

ma take on oa cutoff- 30+/-1

as last year cut-off was uncertain..but it was arnd 32..this year i hope it to be in bw 25-27..

fingers crossed for the results...

all the best to all...

Well Guys the paper was nice , considering the fact that it does not has sectional cutoff , LR was the most scoring then QA had some sitters then the Verbal Ability part was nice like sentence correction except the hardcore Meanings of the words etc , am not good at that RC was lengthy dint attempt it n the same was for DI !!!

Well i have some queries out here ,

can any1 tell how to solve the question
sum of the series 1^2 - 2^2 + 3^2 - 4^2..............- 2002^2 + 2003^2
I Know its an easy question but dint get it there Donno y !!!!

Also wat could be the probable cutoff !!!
Thanks in advance...

hey puys...

Shouldnt we take the fact into consideration that this yr we had 1/4 negative as compared to 1/3rd last yr...

so i think the cutoff shud be the same if not higher....

As already mentioned, last year the cut-off was around 32. However, as far as I remember, there was no sectional cut-off. If same trend is followed even this year, it would be good for those who have not attempted a particular section or are getting NIL or negative score in one of the sections.

More details :

Section 1 : GK : 0.3x30 : Pretty doable, some direct questions if one has prepared from IMS, CL material. 13 attempts.

Section 2 : LR : 0.8x32 : Some sets were doable, some not. Pretty good mix. 15 attempts.

Section 3 : QA : 0.7x27 : I didnt find it easy, though others did. Moderately difficult. 10 attempts.

Section 4 : DI : 0.8x26 : Not as difficult as last year, some people would surely have done well. I didnt have much time, plus m slow at DI. 3 attempts.

Section 5 : RC : 0.8x12 : 3 passages, slightly weird, slightly lengthy, more like parts from a story, but definitely not difficult. 7 attempts.

Section 6 : VA : 0.7x23 : Found it quite easy, tried to maximize. 21 attempts.

Overall, balanced paper, still no info on sectionals. One can do well if one stays cool, and doesnt get stuck up in a question. Paper had adequate easy and difficult questions, depends on what one chose. Lets c wt estimates of cutoffs d coaching instis dole out...

Does it not? I think it does. Seniors please correct me if I am wrong.

Guys, A small query just to clear d doubt - Was everyone allowed to take the question paper back home? I had heard question paper is not given, but ours werent collected back. :

As for my take on the paper -

Tougher as compared to 2007 only to the extent that this year it had 6 sections and to be on the safer side, attempting all sections meant going through the time consuming DI which otherwise people would have avoided. I guess the basic intention of examiners separating the sections was to test us in all areas. Cut offs as per me should be lower than last year.

Rest, fingers crossed for the analysis to be out..
