i got 135. can i hope for selection after shortlisted candidate list displayed on IIFT site?

SAKSHI KULSHRESHTHA 26th Dec, 2019

Vaidehi, the cutoff for general category students is 138 for IIFT. For girls, they will reduce the cutoff by 2% if the candidate has successfully cleared the sectional cutoffs. The cutoff after 2% relaxation would be 135 or 136 for girls of general category. The sectional cutoffs are 5 for GK, 15 for QA, 22 for LRDI and 34 for VARC. So if you have not cleared the sectional cutoff as well as the overall cutoff and your name is not in the shortlisted candidates list on IIFT website, you will not get a call for the next round.

in case your name is there in the list, you will get a call for the next round of Group Discussion and Personal Interview. You need to ace the next rounds and you can secure a seat in IIFT. All the best.

Ive scored 95.5 in the IIFT examination. Im an OBC female candidate, is there any chance of getting a call from any of the campuses?

SAKSHI KULSHRESHTHA 18th Dec, 2019

Neelam, the official cutoff has not been released yet by NTA for IIFT. Although the experts have been expecting a cutoff of around 120- 130 for general category students. The cutoff for OBC students is around 5-7 marks less. With a score of less than 100, I am extremely sorry to say that there are very little chances that you will get a call for the next round.
