hi folks,

guess our money was better put in Tsunami relief fund...shocker of a paper from iift!!! guess they had too many ppl writing and so wanted to filter out a whole big bunch of crowd...but even so the questions being so lenghty didn't make things any easier...

RC was long and very ambiguous...one gk question had the two answer choices same...ya that fdi one and both were correct!!! and quant was not to be termed easy...even reasoning can't be said to be easy..overall a tough paper...guess cutoffs wll be low as well...my attemepts close to 100...hoping to get around 40-50 ...

will someone discuss the answers for some gk questions...eager to know the answers!!!!

cheers

Nice analysis all. My take on the paper:

Eng: Va was easy. The ratio of RC psg lenth to no of q's was bad. Better of question 1st and look in psg for the ans.

GK: Prob my strength in all the sections, could attempt about 18 odd, few guesses.

Qa: Man, this was tough. 2 q's from CAT paper, one was that NSEW diameter thing and X% increase and X% decrease thing. Lot of trig and vectors

LA/DI: Went for inference q's and some DI. Moderate diff.

I think why this paper was tuff in a way as the options were 5 not 4 so chance of right down by 5% pts. I made about 140 attempts, about 25% guesses :wink:

Edit, some gk q's which I remember:

Mothere Teresa-Agenes ...
Puma-germany, Nike-USA
SAARC- Katmandu
BIMTEC- India, Myanmar etc...

Shockin GK, pathetic supervision at centre( KV, Naraina,Delhi)... english RCs were horrible....... DI went allrite...

[lomi]

it was one helluva paper. It started wit me wonderin wats the score weightage. Total confusion. Can someone clarify.

VA = 50 * .55 = 27.5
GK = 50 * .4 = 20
QA = 48 x .6 = 28.8
DI = 48 x .6 = 28.8

So roughly 105 marks whereas it says 100 marks paper. So someone can clarify on tat.

My performance was shady, nuthin great, no great feeling. Felt almost everythin tough.

Last year the cut-ff was 45.
If I have gauged it well, them my guess is that cut-off should be around 36-38.

I made some 96 attempts.
15 GK
36 Quant
15 DI/LR
30 VA/RC

[MrAnderson]

screwed up exam ...
felt all sections vrey tough ..including english...
cos of the 1/5 negative marking took some risks.
overall not too confident of making it...
but just abt everyone is of the same opinion ..so who knows???
attempts around 115....
eng did 3 passages ...not very confident of the answers ..
va almost all .. okish..
gk ...okish .. again not confident..
qa ..hmmmm...left all trignomery qs..think i hv done most of the easy ones..so not much to complain...
di/logic.....as usual screwed....the logical part of my brain was not working at all ... so attempted all the coding questions,one di caselet..some faltoo qs...attempts very low...
Bottom line:Another test bites the dust ..

well guys,
DI- 22 * 0.6 = 13.2

VERBAL = 34 * .55 = 18.7

GK = no comments

QA = 23 * .6 = 13.8

so its 45.7 for 3 sections..did intelligent guessing in GK ..so cant say for that..and lets hw accurate i am...
my fingers and toes r crossed!!

[tanu]

well 90 attempts and looking not so good on the accuracy!
does nebody kno wwhen the calls r out?

[tarunsagarji]

hi all,
for me di was tough ,va was easy and maths was moderate.
gk -----can't tell .

i did approx . 96 questions n expecting a call in my category that is SC.

abt that puma and nike question the ans should be none of these bcoz bata is indian n india was not there in any option.hope im correct.
