The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) is popular for its postgraduate diploma in foreign trade. On the basis of the candidates' performance and the IIFT cutoff, the IIFT will make a merit list for the second round of Group Discussion, Personal Interview and Essay Writing. The IIFT cutoff will be declared by the institute once the results are out. The IIFT cutoff typically does not change much from year to year and there are sectional cutoff too. By having a look at the last year's IIFT cutoff, you can gain some idea about cutoff figures for this year's test.
The IIFT cutoff depends on many variables factors like the number of questions, level of difficulty, number of applicants etc. However, the data can only be considered as indicative in nature as the actual IIFT cutoff will be declared by the IIFT after the results are declared. Clearing the cutoff is very important because if one does not get a certain minimum score in a particular area, his chances of getting an interview call diminish significantly. So it is very important to qualify in all test areas to clear the Cut Off
CUT-OFFs - 38.5+ last year

Shial after doing BE, you should look at the entire field of design since there are many good options in new media. Design is a field that is age old & has been evolving every year like science. The world has changed a lot and a lot of new & wonderful careers in design have come up. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design & Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, & of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world & the careers it offers. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills & color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills & knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, & Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching & imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills & imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling & problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers.
