My Mistakes In CAT Helped Me Crack The IIFT Entrance Ft. Suvam Dhar, IIFT 99.83 Percentiler

Meet Suvam Dhar, IIFT 99.83%iler. Suvam got interested in MBA during his final placement season at engineering college. Without much preparation and time, Suvam prepared for CAT amidst prep for other exams. When CAT didn’t go well for him, Suvam knew that he could attempt other entrance exams to redeem himself. He took his mistakes from CAT as learnings and decided to make sure that his IIFT entrance exam went well. With barely a week between CAT and the IIFT entrance, Suvam didn’t have much time to prepare. But he focused on previous years’ question papers and got a feel of the paper pattern. He felt relatively confident and prepared for IIFT. During the exam itself though, another surprise was awaiting him. Having strategized and prepared for a 100 marks paper, Suvam and other test takers were thrown for a loop when the exam was for 300 marks instead of the initial 100! In this video, he takes us through how he cracked the IIFT entrance exams despite those odds and made it to IIFT Delhi!

My First Step Towards My Dream | Anshu Chaturvedi, IIFT K (MBA IB) Batch Of '22

Dream big dreams, but start small. A journey of thousand steps begins with a step. - Israelmore Ayivor  Six months before IIFT 2019, I was working as an Assistant Project Engineer. My work involved on-field inspection as I worked on a project in a small town of Uttarakhand. So, at that time, I tried my best to utilize 15-20 minutes of break time while working. I utilized it to either read articles and improve my vocabulary as they are some of the scoring parts of the IIFT entrance examination. My work hours consisted of 10-11 hours after which, I used to devote 2 hours on a daily basis to solve Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning(DI&LR) and Quantitative Ability(QA) questions. Also, I utilized my Sundays in taking mock tests and analyzed them. All this helped me score an overall 95% in IIFT 2019 with 93% in VARC, 81% in QA, 83% in both DI&LR and General Awareness. I converted some of the few new IIMs and all baby IIMs with my good enough CAT score,  but I chose Indian Institute of Foreign Trade,  Kolkata, over the others.
