Re: Maths For IIFT
The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade is an autonomous public business school established in 1963 by the Government of India. Yes there is the role of Maths subject in the MBA IB course. The key point to be noted: Within the 4 areas related to QA, observe that Modern Maths has been more or less constant over the years while all the other 3 areas have had at least one year where very few questions were asked. Therefore, all areas of Modern Maths are important as far as IIFT is being concerned. This modern Maths covers: • Probability • Permutations and Combinations • Sets • Functions • Sequences and Series • Within Modern Maths, it must be kept in mind that IIFT also asks questions from Probability Distribution and Statistics (included under Higher Mathematics). A number of questions from Functions also deal with the concepts of maxima and minima. Therefore, when we study Modern Maths, remember to revise the basic rules of maxima/minima and probability distribution. • Geometry just grown in importance over the last 3 years. However, unlike CAT, where circles and triangles have been historically critical, IIFT has a fascination for trigonometry, both heights and distances as well as trigonometric expressions (including double angles, half angles etc.). Hence, while practicing Geometry for IIFT, make it a point to remember to give sufficient time to Trigonometry. • As such, it cannot be ignored at all. A notable feature of the IIFT DI sets is that the paper generally has 3-4 sets with 4-5 questions per set. However, each set is time-consuming and very calculation intensive. Also, the last couple of years have seen a case-study type of set which has been slightly simpler. In IIFT, keep in mind that you will NOT be able to attempt all the DI questions, without affecting your performance elsewhere. So, if there are 4 sets, identify 2 that are the simplest or least time consuming, solve them well and move on. You can always try the remaining 2 if you have spare time. So the maths is the important part of MBA IB from IIFT.
