From this years experience I would suggest regular reading of Competition Success Review magazine and one business magazine (BW or BT)....

This year they asked from all over..books, authors, sport, history, science, business, geography et all..

Thanks for that question Ashwin.Other exams like XAT and JMET come much later than CAT.There will be only one week between CAT and IIFT Entrance ,so it will be difficult to prepare for anything specific to IIFT in that one week.So its better to start preparing as soon as possible for GK section.One more query,can we take the question paper of this test home bcoz in XAT we have to give the QP back?

last time iift didn't allow to take the question paper home.....

hi guys nice to see IIFT prep. well last year some GK cam from 2005 issues. so i guess it will be wise to revise some key 2006 issues

yes!!
i think we should start discussion on the key issues that took place in 2006..
can be from any field..sports to geography etc..
IIFT exam is just 1 week after CAT!!!

Hello to all you aspiring IIFTians out there..
Well, the exam in 2006 was very unexpected and tested patience for 2 complete hours..
Those who held on were able to crack it..
Frustis got rejected..
So, first preparation has to be mental for such an exam..
Be prepared and expect the unexpected..
Now onto studies..

GK: Well, keep yourselves updated with the various happenings as well as about CEOs and other top management people of the big shot companies.. This all will also help in GD/PI of all instis..

Quant, DI, Verbal: Prepare normally as for all entrance exams!!

The last date of filling up the form and reaching IIFT is 3rd September '07..


All the best to all you guys..

Hope to see some of you here @IIFT..
