IIFT Cut off 2023 Expert views

Experts claim that the IIFT admission cut off for the general category from the preceding year can be used to forecast the expected cut off for IIFT 2023:

  • Around 113 (+/-3) marks were the overall cut off.
  • Section A: Long and challenging questions were found in Section A, Quantitative Reasoning. A score between 14 and 16 would be considered good.
  • Section B: Section B, which tested verbal and reading comprehension, was rather simple. Questions based on vocabulary were challenging. It would have been beneficial to have had the option to scan and select questions. The estimated cut off is between 32 and 34 marks.
  • Section C: The predicted cut off is 20–22 marks for Section C, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning, which has easy LR tests but calculation-intensive DI sets.
  • Section D: General Awareness: This section included matching questions in addition to the standard multiple-choice questions. There were 9 current affairs questions and 11 static GK questions. The cut-off is anticipated to be between 6 and 7.5 points.

IIFT Cutoffs 2023: Determining Factors

  • Many applicants for IIFT 2023: A higher cutoff will result from more applicants for IIFT 2023.
  • Total seat availability: The cut off will be determined by the total seat availability. The cut off will be lower if there are more available seats than there are applications.
