NIFT GAT 2021: Students Reactions and Reviews
Tanisha Sharma said her exam went well, better than she expected. The GAT paper was quite easy and I was able to attempt it well. However, CAT paper was a bit tricky as it had questions on online classes which needed vivid imagination so that was time consuming. Rest of the paper was good. English section was easy, anyone could have scored well in it. Mathematics was quite tricky for me and I left many questions. Analytical Ability was very simple and GK was neither very tough not easy. There were questions on sports, Joe Biden, coronavirus vaccine, etc.
