Guys just little thing here, Last year cutt off was 33-34



Stats of Poll for similar thread last year( http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-exams-xat-iift-irma/60433-28th-november-2010-iift-2010-a.html) shows that 10+6+6+7 = 29% people were expecting scores above the cut off . The thing here is around 23% people by now are expecting above 44 which may decrease over the time to 22% . By this logic if we extrapolate the results the over all cut off must be somewhere 42-43.

hi puys!!
Please reply for the question below:-
Statement:-In a recent bulletin the meterological deptt. of india has forecasted severe draught in next cropping season which may cause failure of crops.

Courses of action:-
1)The forecast should be widely published in media.
2)The drought relief team should be ready for relief work.
3)The people should be advised to go for drought resistant variety.

A)Only 1 and 2 follows
b)Only 2 follows
c)Only 2 and 3 follow
d)None

As we know that 2 and 3 options are definitely good course of action...
But in my opinion option 1 should also be a course of action as Publishing forcast in media would give warning to farmers and associated person..thus they can take damage control measures and can prepare themselves ...
So i think all three are correct so i marked D as the answer....
Plz tell me why option 1 can't be the course of action...
Thanks

The reason to avoid going to the media with a news of drought + crop apocalypse next year would be the hysteria it creates.
Re-read the exact statement and think about last words... try to connect it with above reason

Hope this helps

Go by what TF is telling you... CL has grossly f***** up its answer key.. If you actually read what they think are the correct answers you will be ROFL

TF is also wrong in some cases, for example in the reported speech questions....
so you need to see both the keys and use google too...

So CL and TF predicts the following scores for me :

CL = 47.35
TF = 47.33

I have a feeling that cutoff will be quite close to 45 to 50...
Lets keep our fingers crossed

MrFit Says

according to cl I am just getting 30.33 while with TF I am scoring 38.33 oh dear god! what do I do

Scored 49.67 per CL and 49.83 as per TF.
ALL THE BEST to everyone else :)))

Hey guys, just got the CL key. Uploading it in Excel format for the benefit of others.

Saar, i think we should make an excel doc so that we come to know the actual numbers....i think there are lots of fake votes....

Ummm...so according to TF, with a score of 51/99 I have a national percentile of 15.35,

I kinda find that hard to believe.

Either TF sucks, or there's this huge crowd who really cracked the paper bigtime!

Update: My percentile has dropped to 11.84
What the hell is going on with TF.
Sectionals are as follows:
RC:5.75
VA:11.75
QA:12.33
DI:7
LR:11.67
GK:2.5

Hope its enough, fingers crossed

and Q13 from set C.....
Why can't we "publishing forecast in media " be the course of action.....it will give a sort of warning to farmers....
Plz reply

IMO I feel all 3 needs to be done. As first of all one has to publish and make people aware of such threat for their actions to be effective. I mean this is just a bulletin, not a news piece.

Puys,
One question to all of you...

Will IIFT Delhi and IIFT Kolkata have same cutoffs? Or will IIFT Kolkata have cutoff somewhat lower as compared to IIFT Delhi. Also I have given IIFT Kolkata as my first preference

Please do reply

IIFT Delhi and Kolkata have a common written exam cut-off. All those who clear the exam go thru the second round of selection. After both rounds are done, scores are tabulated as follows (based on last year's process)
Written - 65%
GD/ PI/ Essay - 35%

Students are then ranked in decreasing order of their scores and the preferred campuses are awarded in the order of merit.

Things are getting tough;now I have to study hard for SNAP

according to cl I am just getting 30.33 while with TF I am scoring 38.33 oh dear god! what do I do

How to access CL key? Been trying it for quite some time. Don't know if their server has lot of congestion now.

Hi Again,
Looking at the fast changing expected score polls, I think the below observtions are not out of place:

1. Not all students will come and post their scores on PG. Its only the ones who regularly access PG. Logically, those who access PG will be better prepared for such exams. Therefore, a lot of students who are posting here are from the "well-prepared" category.
2. Even regular PG members who are not expecting a good score (read over 35 or so) will see the point of posting their scores in the poll as a futile exercise.

From 1 and 2, we can assume that the 24-25% of students getting a score of 44+ is not a true representative of the actual scene.

My guesstimate says that this 25% translates to roughly 5% given the overall scenario... However as IIFT usually calls about 5x the number of seats each year, this year the number of calls should be about 1100-1200 at most. Assuming 60K applicants it equals to roughly 2% of the total number of applicants. Assuming the 44+ scores to predominantly constitute scores between 44 and 52 (highst score reported here is 60 odd but thats a one-off case so far), my guesstimate is an overall cut-off of about 47.xx .. (My own score as per TF is 46.xx)

Lets wait and watch

I've read through this entire PG thread, and I think the cutoff will be 42-44.

Woah. Another 50+ with evenly distributed score. Bro, you are getting a call for sure...

Total Attempts - 60

After TF and CL keys, i'm getting around 38 i guess..

Still so many ambiguities with the answers..

1. Can anyone tell me why the indirect speech answer can't be "He asked her if she was coming to the party."?


2. The very next question - is it C or D? (urged or commanded?) i chose the latter..

3. The concert this weekend question looks poor to me - "..than attended the last one." should have been the question i think.. and the answer i gave was option A - a number of ppl even larger.. is that surely wrong in favor of "an even greater number of people"?

4. inexorable or impregnable? and pruning or topiary?

5. Abdul kalam's book - india in the new millenium right?

1) If is more like IF-then-else kindof statements, "whether" just fits better.
2)Commanded. Because urging has a different context, the teacher is ordering them rather than urging pr persuading.
3)
4)Inexorable according to me. Topiary- im sure of this.
5)Yup

Even I would like to go with CL. Cutoffs will be in the range 35-37 due to some reasons:

1)In Pagalguy, we have some of the best puys in India who are actually "serious about their MBA career". Hence I wont be shocked if all the puys out here say "I am expecting 40+ score". Basically, not many people who ant serious about their MBA are in PG, and mind it the number is definitely a considerable amount.

2)All puys before solutions were expecting roundabout 40plus scores, but even before the answer keys we saw close to 20 pages of answer discussions where I could find close 30-40 people having different answers through various sections. Due to this, the expected score for each person may come down and for some it has come down.

3)Before the answer keys it was looking as 40+ would be the cutoff score but now it seems 37 or even 35 is a decent score...

Mind you puys with less scores arent putting down their scores here.

4)Close to 1200 puys will be called, and till now we have only 42+ clearing the 40-mark, but if we consider the 35/37-mark, we have close to 80 people in this thread. And ofcourse, like I said there may be many people in India getting 40+ but who ant members of PG, but that number overall would be less, like I mentioned in my first point, people serious about their MBA careers always see visit PG atleast once in a day.

5)Last year cutoffs were 32-34...This time with an easier paper,cutoff would go high by max 5marks. Do not forget that IIFT has questions of weightages not more than 1 (0.5,.0.75 and 1) unlike CAT and other exams.

Can anybody please let me know the answers to

School dropout rate is very high in the rural areas as children support their parents in income earning activities.

Courses of action:
1. Public awareness programme on primary education should be expanded immediately to educate parents
2. Compensation should be given to those parents whose children are in the school.
3. Law on universal education and ban on child labour should be made rigorous.

A. Only 1 and 2 follows
B. Only 2 and 3 follows
C. Only 1 and 3 follows
4. All follow

Test funda says it is D. However, I am not convinced.

true!! from where will school or government bring so much of money to give compensation.!! and second option doesn't mentions which children's parent should be paid compensation(should every parent in this country should be paid compensation whose children are in school, if so schools will run in loss)

I am too not convinced....
How can compensation option be the answer....as if that step is followed then compensation to only those parents whose children indulge in income earning activites should be given ....not to all parents...
I think answer should be C...
what say puys??

Getting 42.76 according to CL and 40.25 according to test funda....
CL guys have not considered O@M wala question to be ambiguous....which i think is ambiguous.....
And "volume of cylinder " question seems to be debatable....I hope CL guys are right as i found the answer to be 175...
So i think .....I am on borderline with score in between...

Hoping that cutoff will be less than 40 which seems quite indigestible at this stage....

Yeah volume wala even I got 175 but indeed the language used in the question is ambiguous. I hope we are right on this one

Total Attempts - 60

After TF and CL keys, i'm getting around 38 i guess..

Still so many ambiguities with the answers..

4. inexorable or impregnable? and pruning or topiary?

5. Abdul kalam's book - india in the new millenium right?

Can someone pls put up a comprehensive key for the paper? all of us may not be able to access CL/ Tcyonline or TF.

Screwed RC and silly mistakes in QA/DI :(

RC - 0.25
VA - 10.5
QA - 20.33
DI - 7.67
LR - 12
GK - 3.67

Overall - 54.42 I guess I should be able to clear the overall cutoff atleast.

I hope I didn't make silly mistakes in CAT or NMAT :-|

TCY online has given wrong answers to both the synonym questions.

Unrelenting, should have Inexorable as its answer. It is marked incorrectly as impregnable which mean in-conquerable or impenetrable.

Also, Topiary is the correct answer for ornamental cutting of shrubs, and not pruning as marked.

Testfunda has a more reliable answer scheme.

Am I correct puys?

Btw, any news on whether Sectional cutoff will be there or no?

42.58 according to tf

and 46.25 according to cl

but i seriously think cls key is better than tf

like the ambi question bye test funda it has two options 1 is O>N and other is O not = to N so the more appropriate will be the 1st

Can anybody please let me know the answers to

Exam Corner 2011

reported speech questions

here, check question no 12.....

Hello,
This was my first IIFT.
Getting around 44 as per the key by Testfunda.
Not sure if it is gud enough.
Can anyone tell me ?

If its sectional cut-off then I do not stand a chance for sure.

guys do IIFT consider 10th 12 th and experience weightage...??

or they short list just on basis of IIFT marks scored??

Question came into my mind because they asked to fill in the bubbles for exp. 12th and 10 th percentage..

sandyjuventus Says

12 in GK? Are you kidding me bro? I thought GK max marks was 10.5

that might be no. of attempts not marks!

No point in speculating scores and the cut-offs. The key that matters is safely ensconced in the IIFT office and unfortunately we cannot access it. So let us close the IIFT chapter and move on to SNAP, TISS and XAT. And in my personal opinion, anybody getting a score above 38 is good enough to crack all the remaining tests.

Peace and all the best!!!!

Screwed GK. Anyways, according to TF :

GK 1.83
RC 7.25
VA 7.75
QA 17.33
DI 10.67
LR 12.67

OA 57.5/99


1 ques in LR had 2 correct answers so it has been ignored, but i guess both answers will eventually be considered to be correct.
Hoping for no sectional cutoffs !!!

rajgarg Says

doubt: plz somebody give the soln to the 5 digit no divisible by 3 question:-(

Sum comes out as max 15 , so one set of digits can be 1 2 3 4 5. Using these we can get 120 numbers.

Next if we remove any one number, we can add a 0, but again the sum should be a multiple of 12. So the only other combination here is 0 1 2 4 5, Using these we can make 96 numbers

So total 216 numbers. Answer should be none of these.

buddy ..you can never know....last year was getting 380-390(finally got 375) in FMS..was very hopeful of gettn a call..cut off shot to 421!..comapred to previous year of 330...!

no dude i am asking - there are 40 votes for 44+ range but there are hardly 18-20 posts where people have crossed 44+ range. where are other guys who voted in 44+ range.

Used the TF score calculator..
getting 45.92 overall
but only 1.83 in GK
hope there are no sectional cut offs:-(

ya.. well i guess there is a small mistake there.. the percentile given shows the number of people above us, rather than the number of people below us.. So if it is showing 5 percentile, ur actual percentile is 95..!! :):)..!!
P.S m getting 4.60 now.. which means 95.4..!!

With a score of 47.58 I am getting 97.xx % ile .. do u mean to say that actually I have 2.xx % ile... I dont believe you... There is something wrong indeed!!!!
