In fact, it was easier than the IIFT question papers of the last two years. In the IIFT 2020 exam, VARC section was easy and the RCs were not as lengthy as it used to be in the paper-based format of the exam.

In LRDI, there was a good contrast as the DI questions were easy while the LR sets were difficult. QA, as always, was a lengthy section and an attempt of 10-12 questions in this section would have been a good attempt. Check out detailed IIFT 2020 analysis below.
