Paper Analysis

• Vocabulary, including synonyms, antonyms, and one-word substitutes, dominated the Verbal Ability section. A good attempt at Verbal Ability would have been 8- 10 questions. This year, the Reading Comprehension section had a higher number of inferential questions. Compared to last year, which had a breakdown of 5 and 3 questions, the section's structure changed to 4 questions in each set.
• IIFT 2023's General Awareness section was of a moderately difficult nature. Both static GK and current affairs questions were asked. There were 7-8 simple questions in it, and the match-the-following questions were likewise simple and could have been attempted. A score of six or more in this part would be considered good.
• The difficulty level of the IIFT 2023's Quantitative Aptitude part was moderate to difficult. The bulk of questions in this section was from arithmetic and algebra. In the best-case scenario, candidates should strive for a score of 20 to 22 within 30 to 35 minutes.
