Everything you need for IIFT GK – Free mock, past papers, pattern, and cutoffs

November 22nd, 2016 by

IIFT exam is less than a week away and quite a few students are worried about the General Knowledge section. The primary reason for such a feeling is that they have prepared for topics like Quant and Verbal for more than 6 months whereas GK has been neglected. If you are in that category, my suggestion to them would be - don't worry. There is absolutely no need to worry. First of all, the cutoff for IIFT GK is traditionally on the lower side.

Clear IIFT GK Cutoff or get your money back

November 18th, 2014 by

The General Knowledge section in IIFT has always been problematic for a lot of students. In my opinion, there are two big reasons behind it. 1. Students don't prepare for it. 2. They do not prepare from the right sources. While nothing can be done to fix point 1, we are working really hard to fix the second one. A lot of students prepare from sources which provide too much information and that becomes a problem. Let's face it, you cannot really go through a Manorama Year Book in a week. The other mistake that a bunch of students make is that they try to prepare for GK via tests / mock
