IIFT 2021 Section-wise Analysis by Endeavor Careers

Section 1: Quantitative Aptitude:

The section had 25 questions with around 45% of the questions being from Arithmetic. In terms of difficulty, this section was more or less similar to last year.

The detailed distribution in this section is as follows:

Among the Arithmetic questions, 2 questions from Time Speed and Distance, 1 question each from Time and Work, Partnership, and Clock were doable. The rest of the questions Profit Loss, SICI, Ratio Proportion, and Time and Work were lengthy and supposed to be avoided during the exam.

Here, one question on SICI seems technically wrong. 2 questions from Algebra; Age questions and one based on Quadratic equations were easy but those based on surds and indices were difficult and time-consuming. 4 out of 5 Geometry questions were doable.

Of these, 1 question was on Height and Distance and 3 others on Circles. 1 out of 4 Higher Arithmetic question which was on Probability was doable and others on Permutation and Combination and the miscellaneous type was difficult. The lone question on numbers was doable.

• Difficulty Level: Moderate to Difficult

• Ideal Attempts: 10-12

• Ideal Time: 35-40 minutes

• Cut off: 11-13 marks

Section 2: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension:

The section had 35 questions out of which 16 questions were on Reading Comprehension and 19 were on Verbal Ability.

The detailed question distribution in this section is as follows:

Among the Reading Comprehensions, 2 passages were quite lengthy, but they also had more direct questions. Of the remaining 2, one was a bit dense and could have been avoided. There were a good number of true/false based questions in the RCs and this could have acted as a speed breaker for few students.

In Verbal ability, a lot of students would have been surprised by 3 Etymology based questions and would have found those questions difficult. Also, surprising was the absence of Fill in blanks and Idioms based questions. Out of the 6 grammar-based questions, 2 questions were based on punctuations (both on Question Mark). The rest of the questions asked the students to identify the correct sentences/sentences from the 4 given sentences. These questions could easily be attempted through option elimination.

There were 7 vocabulary-based questions – 4 questions were based on a set of words that was given in the paper and one of these 4 questions was based on crosswords. Of the remaining 3 vocabulary-based questions 1 question was based on matching the following and the other 2 asked the students to identify the word forgiven meaning. Out of 7, at least 4 of the vocabulary-based questions could have been easily attempted through option elimination.

Among the 3 questions of para jumbles, 2 questions had 6 sentences to be arranged and this could have been time-consuming. 1 question had 4 sentences and it was quite easy

• Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate

• Ideal Attempts: 22-25

• Ideal Time: 35 minutes

• Cut off: 28-30 marks

Section 3: Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning:

The section had 30 questions wherein there were 7 sets; of which 6 sets had 4 questions each and 1 set had 2 questions. The rest of the 4 questions were individual questions. The individual questions and one set based question on Calendar were easy and doable. One of the reasoning set on Circular arrangement was a bit lengthy but a smart test taker could have solved the set by looking at the option. Another Reasoning set on Games and Tournament was difficult as it had variation from the normal set rules.

There were 4 sets on Data Interpretation of which one based on the table (which had information about Production, Consumption, and Export) was doable and another based on a combination of Line and Stack Graph (which had an average of 10 years for 3 different product) was moderate level difficulty and one could have solved 2 or 3 questions out of 4 questions. Another set on the Pic chart and Table (which had a city-wise sample and total wastage) could be solved. The set on a combination of Line Graph and Bar Graph could have been avoided as it involved lots of lengthy calculations.

• Difficulty Level: Difficult

• Ideal Attempts: 11-12

• Ideal Time: 35-40 minutes

• Cut-off: 13-15 marks

IIFT 2021 - Overall and Sectional Cut-off

The above-mentioned overall cut-off is for General category students. However, looking at past experiences, the overall cut-off for the EWS category would be 92-94 marks, and that for the SC/ST category would be 74-76 marks.

If like last year some questions are found to be wrong then the cut-off would increase. Last year IIFT had given 15 bonus marks for 5 wrong questions so the cut-off went to 138 marks. Otherwise, the actual cut-off would be 123 marks.
