Ashish
hi gautam, i would like to know whether there is any sectional cut off in iift or not
As of now there is no info on the exam pattern of IIFT.
But the info is expected in another 10 days time.
Gk should not be a worrying aspect as it hold s avery little weightage in the final score. But you must update urself with lattest in world business. Use FE, ET, BW etc.
Its useful you know why you want International business. MBA(IB) is more rigourous than MBA. You must be lil well equiped with good business gyan. At least 100 ppl in my batch do ( I am number 101)
Do not prepare in particular for IIFT. Our test is on same lines as other papers but yes pattern is slightly different which shouldnt bother a prospective candidate.
Best of luck for your preprations,
