Hey the paper was good, but had 6 sections this year, as opposed to 4 sections with sub-sections last year. Whether the paper will have sectional cutoffs is anybody s guess. I have attempted only 3 or 4 questions in DI, so jus hope i don get a negative score!! just the kind of paper where you come back home after attempting it, and you still have no idea how it went!!

Btw, do instis release the key 4 IIFT?


It's better to have tried and failed, than not to have tried at all.

Hi Puys,

6 sections seems interesteing. Could somebody post some more details? How many questions? Any particular section people felt tough? How was the difficulty level compared to last year?

Paper was a good one. A number of questions in maths were prom progressions mainly AM GM. DI was too calculation intensive. Worse part of the calculations were one needed to be correct to 2 or 3rd dec places in some questions. English was good too. Passages were of medium length. LR was the best of the lot!!

Hi..

As compared to last year the paper was little tough..Except LR&DI all sections were on higher side of difficulty.Passage was lengthy and questions are all too long..
Section-1(LR)---Easy
Section2-Math--Tough(Considering so many que cmng 4m progressions)
Section3-DI-Lot Easy comapred to last year..
Section4-Difficult(Passage was lengthy and questions are all too long..)
Section5-Vocab(I cann't differntiate between diff and easy):innocent:
section6-Easy(Caompared to last year)

I think cutoff this year will be little lower than last year.

Regards
Rajesh
