IIFT:relief :)

Well gave my IIFT on 28th Nov.This year's paper was very much on the lines of 2009 paper. total 135 questions, however this year they added a certain twist to the VA section, the EU section had questions worth .5 marks each, while RC had questions worth .7 marks each. In total VA section was worth 23 marks down from 30 last year. Well my stategy was simple, attack VA at the outset.Then i would move to the LRDI section where i maximised my score through LR, which is my forte. My strategy pretty much worked out well, the only complain i've is that i was not swift enough with QA & question selection was not upto the mark as a result my score was not upto the mark, also in QA got stuck with a couple of ques. later found that the questions were wrong.Here is my test funda analysis

Hmm, the score in VA is really gud. My strategy of tacklin' with LRDI by attacking LR has also worked out well. The only complaint I have is my score in QA. Just 6!!!
But I think I should get 2 additional marks as there were 2 wrong questions in QA. Here I relied on  my mocks to finetune my strategy for the D-Day. Here is it's summary

Gave my IIFT from Delhi (can't tell the reason), Delhi is a wonderful place,took a ride on the metro :)
Had the wonderful food of places like Nizam's etc. Seeing this place i don't know why I just feel that I want to come  back here. Also met my old class-mates of CL i.e. Roopak Jain & Jasmeet Grover.They are doing there MBA now, Roopak is DMS-IIT Delhi & Jasmeet in IIFT, can't believe it was only 6 months back all of us were in d same classroom, now I'm looking to emulate there achievements.One thing I would like to say about this city, there is a certain warmth about this city. I just feel that I want to come back to this city once more. All in All had  a great time giving IIFT. Now just awaiting the results

The Result:
IIFT declared the shortlist on 21st Dec.Immediateky searched for my name in the shortlist, here is the outcome

Yes my name is there in the shortlist, phew relief last year I had to wait till Feb to get a meaningful call.Well this how my scorecard looks like

Hmmm, just as I had expected, got 2 additional marks in QA for 2 wrong questions. All in All with a score of 43.93 I'm pretty satisfied, just feel could have done better with QA. Neways nw got to gear up for 2nd round.Go go go :)
