IIFT 2022 Syllabus

IIFT 2022 Syllabus like CAT is not defined. However, after analyzing the IIFT previous year papers and questions, we have combined a list of topics per section that you need to cover. The number of sections in IIFT changed from 6 to 4 in IIFT 2020 (2020 - 2022). The paper consists of 4 sections - General awareness, Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension, Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation and Quantitative Aptitude.

Section 1: General Awareness

Based on the previous year's questions, one can say that this section is a combination of general knowledge and current affairs. The topics are fairly well known and will be known to any individual who keeps up with the news. Some questions are slightly off-beat and are related to international trade.

The General Awareness section consists of 20 questions. The marks per question for this section are 1.5 with each incorrect attempt carrying a penalty of 0.5 marks. IIFT Syllabus on GA places a mix of questions on currencies, appointments, personalities, business and economy among others. The syllabus details are provided as under:

Section 2: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

The Verbal Ability section consists of 19 questions as per last year's pattern. The marks per question for this section are 3 with a negative marking of 1 for each incorrect attempt. The following types of questions and topics appear in this section:

The Reading Comprehension section consists of 16 questions. The marks per question for this section are 3 with each incorrect attempt attracting a negative mark of 1. The following types of questions are asked from the Reading Comprehension Passage:

People tend to presume that for VARC, their focus should be more on their reading speed rather than vocabulary. IIFT has their own way of testing your vocabulary, and it has evolved over the years. IIFT reading comprehension questions also include vocabulary questions so that the students can find out the relevant meaning of the word from the passage itself. Apart from this, the synonyms and antonyms are also asked in the exam. Hence, a candidate should focus more on curating the overall reading strategy rather than paying attention to the time crunch.

Similarly, fill in the Blanks, Grammar Usage, Facts, Inferences and Judgments and Correction in Sentence are loosely part of the IIFT syllabus as they have been asked in the past.

Key changes for IIFT 2022 Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

The English section and the reading comprehension section has been combined into a single section without separate sectional cut-offs. However, there will be 4-5 RC passages which will include 14-16 questions from the VARC section. The level of difficulty of RC passages can change as per the requirements and the paper structure set by IIFT.

Section 3: Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation

The LR questions are usually arrangements with a combination of the other topics. As can be seen, the number of topics for reasoning is quite numerous. As a result, the reasoning topics can lead to very complicated sets when combined with each other. The major concern with solving LR questions is not to solve them but solving them as expeditiously as possible. The syllabus topics for LR are given below:
