1. Reading Comprehension:
RC, like last year, had four passages, of about two pages each. Except for the passage on profit and
profitability which was slightly concept-driven, the other three passages were easy. Questions in all the
passages were direct. A good, fast reading speed would have helped attempt 11 - 13 out of the 16 RC
questions in about 20 minutes.
2.
Verbal Ability:
Out of the twenty questions, twelve were straight vocabulary-driven. With decent vocabulary, 5-7
questions could have been attempted. Out of the four grammar questions, two were easy and doable and
the other two were lengthy, time-consuming and confusing. Jumbled sentences were pretty straight
forward and one of the two fill in the blanks questions should have been definitely attempted. 10-12
questions could have been easily attempted in around 10 minutes.

3.
Data Interpretation:
The data interpretation section was a pleasant surprise, consider the calculation intensive sets generally
associated with the IIFT. The set on production and sales of TVs was like a red herring. It looked time
consuming, but once the initial calculations were done, all 3 questions could have been answered
together. The set on production of major minerals had the maximum number of questions (6). It had a mix
of some very simple and time-consuming questions. Here, question selection was critical. The set on piecharts was quite simple and should have been attempted. A safe attempt would be around 10-11
questions, with around 8-9 correct.
4.
Logical Reasoning:
The logical reasoning section was the simplest section in the paper. A couple of questions had ambiguities
or the correct answer was not given at all. Nearly the entire section was doable in 20 25 minutes and at
least 15 correct attempts may be necessary in this section.

6.
Quantitative Ability:
The Quantitative Ability section was slightly more difficult than that in 2011 but easier compared to the
QA section of earlier IIFTs. There were 5 questions on Probability and Permutations and Combinations
together, and these were on the tougher side. The arithmetic questions were slightly verbose but were
doable. 15-17 questions could have been attempted in around 30 minutes.
