IIFT 2019 Analysis by Career Launcher – Verbal Ability (VA) or English Usage

VA was predictable but difficult than last year. The ‘phrase-clause’ based questions were missing this year. The word jumble questions continued to be there for the second consecutive year. The vague etymological origin questions reappeared after a year’s gap. Overall, the VA section was tough. The jumble word questions were not easy to identify. Only one question looked obvious. The analogy questions were completely weird and so were the word-matching questions. These went beyond the realm of English language and looked more like GK based questions. The para-jumble, fill in the blank, and grammar based questions were easy. Accuracy in these questions will determine one’s performance in the paper. A detailed analysis of the section is given below:

IIFT 2019 Analysis by Career Launcher – Reading Comprehension (RC)

Reading Comprehension was extremely lengthy this year. There were five passages. Four of these had three questions each and one had four questions. The passages were from interesting areas. However, majority of the passages were taken from academic sources. Hence, the language became verbose and confusing. Even the questions were not direct or fact-based. A lot of questions required a thorough understanding of the passage. The ‘fact-based’ questions were deceptively framed. Anyone with a good reading habit could have tackled this section successfully. Otherwise, the section would have ended up becoming time-consuming. One should have picked 3-4 passages and solved questions there.

IIFT 2019 Analysis by Career Launcher – Data Interpretation (DI)

 DI was calculation intensive. An attempt of 4-5 would be very good and students who had attempted just about 2-3 questions with 100 percent accuracy should sail through the cutoff.

IIFT 2019 Analysis by Career Launcher – Logical Reasoning (LR)

LR was another time-consuming section in the exam. While the circular arrangement and Matrix sets (friends and hotels) were easy, the other sets were time-consuming. Anyone who has attempted around 10-11 questions in half an hour with 85 percent accuracy would have done very well.
