IIFT

IIFT was the entrance test for the MBA (International Business) programe at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, last administered by the National Testing Agency (Now discontinued). IMPORTANT: IIFT no longer conducts a separate entrance exam from the 2024-25 admission cycle it shortlists candidates on their CAT score, followed by Group Discussion, a Written Ability Test and a Personal Interview. The pattern preserved here is the last one actually conducted: 110 questions in 120 minutes for 300 marks across Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Analysis, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning and General Awareness, with negative marking of one third of the marks the question carried. It remains useful for previous year practice and as a demanding, GK-heavy proxy for CAT preparation.

Pattern, eligibility and requirements — the essentials before you start.

Exam Pattern

STATUS: IIFT discontinued its own entrance exam from the 2024-25 admission cycle. MBA (IB) and MBA (Business Analytics) admissions are now made on CAT scores followed by GD, a Written Ability Test and a Personal Interview. The pattern below is the last one actually conducted and is retained for previous-year practice. IIFT (as last conducted) — 110 multiple-choice questions in a single 120-minute window, four sections carrying unequal marks: 1. Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension — 35 questions × 3 marks = 105 marks 2. Quantitative Analysis — 25 questions × 3 marks = 75 marks 3. Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning — 30 questions × 3 marks = 90 marks 4. General Awareness — 20 questions × 1.5 marks = 30 marks Total: 110 questions for 300 marks in 120 minutes. There is no sectional timing, but the exam did enforce sectional cut-offs. Marking: negative marking of one third of the marks the question carried — −1 on a 3-mark question, −0.5 on a 1.5-mark General Awareness question. The question count and the marks per question varied year to year; the figures above are from the last conducted paper. General Awareness is the section that set IIFT apart from CAT — it was static and current-affairs heavy, with a strong bias towards international trade, economics and business.

Eligibility

A bachelor's degree of minimum three years' duration from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for SC, ST and PwD candidates). Final-year students may apply provisionally. There is no age limit. NOTE: admission is now made on CAT scores — check the current IIFT admission notification for the authoritative criteria.

  • Total marks: 300
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Difficulty: Hard

Crackto mock tests mirror this exactly, so your practice reflects real timing pressure rather than an approximation.

Crackto provides comprehensive analytics for every IIFT attempt:

  • Score trend across attempts, so improvement is visible rather than assumed
  • Section-wise breakdown pinpointing which areas cost you marks
  • Accuracy versus speed, separating knowledge gaps from time-management gaps
  • Percentile and rank against every other IIFT aspirant on the same paper
  • Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock

Yes, absolutely. Retake any IIFT mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.

Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.
