In this thread we will discuss each and everything regarding IIFT.
Firstly we will brush up all the basic fundas and topics in Quants, Verbal, Reasoning, DI
And the most important is GK, we will post everyday news from every section.
I will post the time table by this monday, according to which we will work.
And please post your queries related to IIFT only and not related to other exams.
ALL THE BEST PAGAL-PALS
Hi. Can anyone tell me how to prepare for IIFT? I mean study material and all?
Hello
PAGAL PALS
I have chalked out some Schedule according to which we will work.
We will start with VEDIC MATHEMATICS we will solve questions and one RC daily.
Like this we will move on to the next QA topic after completing the one, then we will solve the questions related to it.
Grammar Basic will be explained first and then we will do the exercise next day.
DI and Reasoning will be done on Saturday and Sunday.
GK will be done on Saturday and Sunday. All important news of the week will be posted on Sunday. On Saturday one set of questions will be done it will contain 10 - 15 questions
Before doing any exercise we will start with its basic first and then we will move to their exercises .
Try to speed up your calculation as soon as possible that is the only reason why i will start with VEDIC MATHEMATICS. Speed is the key player in IIFT.
If anything missed you can add it.

Lol, yeah, me too. I've been refreshing Pagalguy for the last week or so hoping to find the IIFT call-getters' thread at the top.
Anyway, this sounds like a great initiative. Good luck to everyone!
Nice initiative 😃
I'd request and suggest IIFT aspirants to use and discuss GK (which is a very important and deciding section in IIFT entrance) in the following thread:

Good to see thread open early for IIFT-2012..

okk...that's nice....
So, We will start from tomorrow with Vedic Mathematics?
I have few pdf file of vedic mathematics....i will share it if require.....:)
In Vedic Mathematics we will start with Multiplication and here it goes
MULTIPLICATION
Starting with some easy one
Multiply 14 and 12
(Add the digit in unit place ie 2 here to 14 which is equal to 16)
= 16_
And now multiply unit digit nos ie 4 & 2 =8 and this 8 will come in digit place of the solution
So our answer is 168
In similar fashion one more
Multiply 15 and 13
(Add 3 to 15 which is equal to 18 )
And multiply 5&3 = 15 Now here it is different from above example it becomes a two digit number so what we will do is we will add the digit in tens place to 18 ie 1 here and our answer is 195.

Multiplication of three digit number
Example
1 2 3
4 5 6
______________________________________________________________
1 4 / 1 5 + 2 4 / 1 6 + 3 4 + 2 5 / 2 6 + 3 5 / 3 6
_______________________________________________________________
= 4/13/ 28/ 27 / 18 = 56088
2 4 5
1 9 8
______________________________________________________________
2 1/ 2 9 + 4 1 / 2 8 + 5 1 + 4 9 / 4 8 + 5 9 / 5 8
_______________________________________________________________
= 2/ 22/ 57 / 77/ 40 = 48510
Example
1 2 3
4 5 6
______________________________________________________________
1 4 / 1 5 + 2 4 / 1 6 + 3 4 + 2 5 / 2 6 + 3 5 / 3 6
_______________________________________________________________
= 4/13/ 28/ 27 / 18 = 56088
2 4 5
1 9 8
______________________________________________________________
2 1/ 2 9 + 4 1 / 2 8 + 5 1 + 4 9 / 4 8 + 5 9 / 5 8
_______________________________________________________________
= 2/ 22/ 57 / 77/ 40 = 48510
Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant subtractions.
l For example 1000 - 357 = 643
We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10.
So the answer is 1000 - 357 = 643
And thats all there is to it!
This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts: 100; 1000; 10,000 etc.
For a four digit number
9 8 6 7
3 2 1 9
____________________________________________________________
3x9/8x3+9x2/9x1+8x2+6x3 /2x6+8x1+7x3+9x9 /1x6 +2x7+ 8x9 /9x6 + 7x1/9 x7
___________________________________________________________________
= 27/42/43/122/92/61/63
Ans= 31761873
Similarly try to find the solution in a same manner for a five digit number
9 8 6 7
3 2 1 9
____________________________________________________________
3x9/8x3+9x2/9x1+8x2+6x3 /2x6+8x1+7x3+9x9 /1x6 +2x7+ 8x9 /9x6 + 7x1/9 x7
___________________________________________________________________
= 27/42/43/122/92/61/63
Ans= 31761873
Similarly try to find the solution in a same manner for a five digit number
MULTIPLICATION OF NUMBERS OF DIFFERENT LENGTHS
286 78 = ?
2 8 6
0 7 8
_______________________________
0x2 /7x2/8x2 + 8x7 /8x8 + 7x6/6x8
_______________________________
= 00/14/72/106/48
= 22308
another example
998 98 = ?
9 9 8
0 9 8
__________________________
00 /81 /153 /144 /64
___________________________
= 97804
286 78 = ?
2 8 6
0 7 8
_______________________________
0x2 /7x2/8x2 + 8x7 /8x8 + 7x6/6x8
_______________________________
= 00/14/72/106/48
= 22308
another example
998 98 = ?
9 9 8
0 9 8
__________________________
00 /81 /153 /144 /64

= 97804

After reading this try to identify the tone of the respective passages
PASSAGE 1 (Identify the tone)
Delivering mail to small villages in India was once a difficult, perilous, and exciting job. The postman travelled on foot, often wading through swamps or crawling through jungles in order to reach the many villages on his route.
The Indian mailman might sometimes encounter a fierce tiger or panther along the way, yet the only weapon he carried was a sharp spear. He never went to work without his bells, which he would shake in order (so he said) to ward off evil spirits. Wild animals or evil spirits, nothing ever interrupted his work.
The Indian letter carrier was an honoured and respected person; he was treated with great courtesy. So wise was he thought to be that he was frequently called upon to settle village disputes. It is certainly evident that only a very brave man would take a job that compelled him to fight off wild animals in order to get his work done. You can understand why everyone in India looked upon the man who delivered mail as a true national hero
