A. Give six sections - Let the people slog for 2 hours and then declare "No sectional Cutoffs"- Defeats the very purpose of six section...

B.Declare controversial 988 list and the hold back scorecards- Defeats the very purpose of Results...

I totally respect the college and students(prospective/studying and alums) but this attitude shown this year raises serious concerns

to add insult to injury ...they are not even picking up the phones...heights of un-professionalism

hello puys... anyone residing in or near west delhi secured a call? please PM me.
quick question to seniors: do the GD/PI institutes make a world of difference in the GD/Pi skills or is it a YOU HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T thing?

PS: Any anyone has any idea about good GD/PI coaching institute in delhi??

hi to all and atb to all call getters.
can anyone tell me when iift will send letters to selected candidates for gd/pi

Hi,

Have you decided WHERE to take GD - PI training.

hi to all and atb to all call getters.
can anyone tell me when iift will send letters to selected candidates for gd/pi

didnt get call from iift. But its not the end of the world for me. Its a new start will all the more motivation.
Sometimes you screw up exams; sometimes the exams screw you up but on other occasions everything falls into place. Believe me, we all will do well when our time comes. Until then, no point losing heart. Its all in the game

How important is the gd/pi coaching given at the various institutes. Is it important? I am not a complete novice as have gone through a couple of gd/pi's of some cols.
Really need some inputs coz m going to find it very difficult to take out time from work to attend any classes.

Puys, plz help.

practice sessions are impt so that u get a hang of it but they are not critical. since u mention that u already have had some experience with them,u just need to prepare on the information part of it.

Bottomline21 Says

Institutes were right in a way....if 0 and -ve marks ppl would not have been selected then most probably cutoff would have been quite less.....i think one of the reason they get out results so fast is bcoz they don't have to consider sectionals, percentile etc.....just scan the OMR arrange the marks in descending oreder and publish pdf....thats it, so simple.....and here we have so high expectations of IIFT......a good lesson for nxt year batch of aspirants: If they have mentioned explicitly then only have a balanced attempt, else focus just on your strong areas.

TF has asserted in 'last minute tips for IIFT' that it is high chances that iift will have sectional cut offs because they never declare the criteria but still they give result conforming cut offs. But it seems that they proved wrong & I was deprived of faring well in an easy exam.

***************POSTED IN MARCH 2011 , SITTING IN THE CORRDIOR OF A HOSPITAL WAITING FOR MY FATHER TO EMERGE FROM THE DOCTOR'S CABIN******************************

Hi Again IIFTians!

My name is Abhijit, and I am posting here after a good 8-9 months...

I hope IIFT batch of 2010-12 remembers me still...

I was selected for IIFT Delhi 2010-12 batch last year. Due to some family problems i was forced to opt out.

My decision had nothing to do with the college, placements or xyz...

What were my reasons? Well, my parents were not keeping well. I figured it would be impossible to focus on studies if I have to spend half my time in hospitals.

Glad I opted out in a way.. In August 2010 my father had a heart attack. I was there for him, when he needed me the most, without any tension of missing classes or projects...

Last week he again had to be hospitalised under emergency. Yesterday he was operated upon and an ICD pacemaker was placed in him.

It all cost a whopping 5 lacs... glad I am still working... I earn enough now to buy him the best treatment available.

But why am I posting all this here? Well, over the past few days I got a couple of mails/ calls with queries about why I opted out... Was it bcz of sm inside info I got abt IIFT???

No friends, nothing of that sort...

Guys, IIFT is a reputed college. Those who have made it, CONGO... Go ahead and join....

As I am still working in the trading sector, feel free to post any queries regarding the Trading domain... I will be glad to help

PS. This year I will reappear for all major MBA exams... Please pray I dont have to opt out again this time.

Take care

Saw quite a few posts saying that 44.92 was the cutoff.Really high then,and the institutes have got it wrong big time!
Really looking forward to seeing the scores.

This is really sad man... First cat and then IIFT.. Jab IIT JEE aur AIEEE paperbased ho sakte hain to why does cat have to be online..??? Aur Agar sectionals rakhne hain to pehle bata do bhai ! Everyone would attempt accordingly..!!!

This entrance sysyetm is definitely flawed! They have to choose a few guys out of many.. It is not important to take the good ones ! huh!

I fail 2 undrstand d reason for my name missing from d list... Between testfunda & time.. Was gttn 47-49.. n if cut off is really 44 thn dunno ... Eagerly waitin 4 d scorecard...

is d scorecard of IIFT available? somebody pls confirm.

When will they declare the scores? The anxiety is killing me..

In IIFT GD topics basically revolves around sports,terrorism and adventures.
Whereas in PI apart frm ur personal history POLITICS remains hot on them.
Almost every seniors confirmed this.
Last year sports was asked in many groups in gd and abt politics i n pi.

congrts buddy :)

Hey...thanx buddy....expected score was around 47-48

guys, i was getting some 45.80 according to TF keys , then it decreased to 44.92/99(one question was termed as ambiguous) , probably they had made some corrections, and here since some people have quoted that 44.92 is the cutoff then i might have got the call but i have'nt ,so it seems iift keys are somewhat different to what we had on time and TF...just waiting to see the scorecard to see what went wrong

i dint have a really comfy score last year although I wasn't on the fringe exactly either. i had an average profile,nothing one myt call prolific. i am in IIFT-K. hope that gives u some assurance that all u need to do is work really hard...

Students who just managed to get shortlisted will have chances of selection only if their Profile is good.Otherwise no matter hoe u do in gd/pi/ew.NOTHING will do.

Whatever u said, i completely agree with that but u cnt imagine in how much remote location m presently staying...only TOI access n forget about any magazines...options r ther like reading newspaper online n ordering books but tht will be difficult. Wht if i dnt get leave ( in any case i will not get) n if i prepare staying here, i will be definately not be tht much confident facing gd n pi without any mock practise...i need those quality sessions frm some institutes....but ya i also know the importance of a job in hand so thts y totally confused??

i can understand the anxiety u r facing and that u don't want to leave it to chance, but do not take that kind of risk. whatever u need to prepare can be found on google,even books. as long as u hv a gud enuf internet connection,u don't hv anything to be worried about. u r ryt that a little practice of GD/PI wud help but then considering wat r d stakes for u,i suggest against it

lalitiift Says

Fringe candidates get a good enough opportunity,important thing is to be really well prepared for your GD/PI. start early and u'll be fine.

Students who just managed to get shortlisted will have chances of selection only if their Profile is good.Otherwise no matter hoe u do in gd/pi/ew.NOTHING will do.

Not just december sirjee, 15th december

On a more serious note, any inside news as to when the scorecard might be made accessible. And also another silly query. Going by the previous years' trends , 65% weightage is for written test, so do the candidates who just managed the cutoff really have a chance? Would there be any firends in your batch who might have ben borderline on the cutoff and yet made it ?

Fringe candidates get a good enough opportunity,important thing is to be really well prepared for your GD/PI. start early and u'll be fine.

IIFT seats got increased then why less students were shortlisted??
Profile Based Calls frm this yr really made many shocked!!!!!

A bird in hand is always better than two in the bush... unless u have cleared the admission process don't even think of resigning (entirely my personal opinion ) ...
try to manage your time better ...and i dont think joining a coaching institute for gd/pi is going to make a huge difference..but yes i would like to suggest you something ...
1.Awareness of important political,social and econmical changes in India and around the world is necessary (Newspapers like ET ,HINDU or TOI may come in handy )
2.Knowledge about important organisations like WTO,IMF,WORLD BANK ,SAARC,ASEAN etc is very much important.. (WIKIPEDIA zindabaad )
3.Even if u don't like reading books or novels(like me) u have to do it buddy ...(and preferably non-fiction )...

hope this clears some air .... all the best dude....

Welcome to Indian Institute of Foreign Trade

can some1 provide me the link for the IIFT key.... any site key will do.... pls help me out...

Seats have been increased in IIFT.Admsn Incharge told that this they will increase 20-30 seats in all.

Regarding the no of seats, whatever they say on the site or on forums, the no of seats is very unlikely to go up. It will remain at 150 for Delhi and 60 for Kolkata.
Concentrate on other exams at the moment(XAT/SNAP). the gd/pi would start in the last week of jan(30th jan last year). join a coaching class after your exams and prepare for IIFT specific GD(one hour GD). Essay writing being an important part. In PI- foreign trade and international business will be the focus, though it depends on your day and luck and the mood of the interviewer. Visit previous experiences thread on PG. you will get a general idea about the IIFT process. practice a lot, mock GDs and PIs are essential for your prep.
the weightage last year was: 65% IIFT score, 10% essay, 10% GD and 15% PI. can't say if it would be the same for this year too.
Good Luck :)

Thanx for the Info bro... But puys are posting different no. of seats in D and K
Some say 120-60 some 180-60 and u are saying 150-60... I believe you are true but is 150 the correct no. for MBA(IB)??
