I hope you liked this article on the strategy for IIFT GK. Try not to get de-motivated if you are unable to answer all the questions. You are not even supposed to do that. IIFT’s GK section is designed in such a way that the sectional cut-offs are low because of the difficulty. All you have to do is search for the right kind of questions and answer them. Try to attempt at least 8 – 10 on an average with higher accuracy, and do not spend too much time on this section. In fact if you follow these simple steps, you will realize that you are able to answer more than most of the students (who don’t pay as much attention to Gk as they should). And that is what will make all the difference.
Apart from the topics mentioned above, the GK section will comprise questions from current happenings around the world, current affairs and important events. Once the candidates have checked all the important topics for MBA entrance exam, they can come up with preparation strategies for the GK section. A preparation strategy will help the candidates assign equal time for all important topics. They can prepare different exam strategies for all MBA exams depending on the number of GK questions which will be asked in the exam.
Now, knowing the different subject areas of the questions isn’t enough. You should also keep in mind the types of questions that may differ with respect to each exam. Now, IIFT gives some questions on GK in the Match the Table format.
Being a goalkeeper is physically and mentally tough. You need be agile, strong, fit, focused, brave, decisive. You must be fully prepared to carry the weight of the team on …
As you can see from the table, over the years the proportion of questions from both static and current GK has become almost equal. This means you need to give equal focus to both these types of questions. In general, try to go over major events that have happened over the past year, major business events, CEOs, acquisitions, etc.
Don’t just randomly read articles as you like. Make a schedule. Take some days and finish Static GK topic-wise. Take 3 days and devote it to, let’s say the superlatives list. Next 3 days, begin and finish Business Abbreviations & Terms, and so on. The number of days per topic depends on you. Just make sure that you implement it. Along with this, keep reading magazines/newspapers every day to stay updated on Current Affairs.
