    Typically, the exam takes place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The candidates have to finish answering 110 questions in the allotted time. Since the IIFT exam has no sectional time limit, unlike the CAT or XAT, candidates are free to use the two hours however best suits their exam plan. The cut-offs are based on CAT 2023 since admission to the batch of 2024–2026 will be determined by that score. The sectional cut-off for the general category for the 2024–2026 batch is 55, while the composite cut-off is 30%. The sectional cutoff for Gen-EWS/OBC-NCL is 50, while the composite cutoff is 25%.

    The IIFT 2024 exam does not have a sectional time limit. Candidates have two hours to complete the entire paper. Unlike CAT or XAT, you have the freedom to allocate time as per your exam strategy. The paper consists of four sections: Quantitative Analysis, Reading Comprehension and Verbal Ability, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and General Awareness.

    The IIFT exam is of two hours. It is held from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. there is no sectional time-limit in this exam and candidates have to address about 110 questions in a 120 minutes. Because there is no sectional time limit, candidates need to have a tab on the time so that they are able to solve a good number of questions in every section. Candidates must have a time management strategy for each section so that they don't end up falling short of time in the last section. For example, they should allot maximum time for the section they find the toughest and allot least time on GK.

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience. Yes, you are fairly within touch, but I would encourage you to have a solid overall profile as well to increase your chances of admission.
