However, MICAT has a paper pattern that asks objective, as well as subjective questions. Further, the marking scheme for each section isn’t usually disclosed. Although negative marking applies only to the objective questions (except Psychometric). And will not be applicable to any of the subjective questions. In this article, we will learn about the GK for MICAT in detail.

Important facts- Missiles in India
The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) was launched in 1983.
This program was launched with an agenda to develop five missile systems in the country – Trishul, Akash, Nag, Prithvi, and Agni-I.
These above missiles are of the intermediate-range surface-to-surface missile.
Tessy Thomas who is an Indian scientist and Director General of Aeronautical Systems and the former Project Director for Agni-IV missile in Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO) is known as the ‘Missile Woman’ of India.
Prithvi was the first Indian single staged liquid-fuelled surface-to-surface Missile.

Questions about emblems are very common in general knowledge-based exams. So, it would be a good idea to go through some of these important facts so that you don’t miss out on the opportunity of scoring these easy few marks.

What is an Emblem?
A national emblem is a seal that is reserved for use by a nation-state or multi-national state as a symbol of that nation. Many nations have a seal or emblem in addition to a national flag and a national coat of arms. It depicts an expression of an idea, of people, of a historic event, etc. It can be a graphic representation, but also a music or whatever other artistic representation. An emblem is important to gather people together and federate them behind something bigger: a concrete beacon that tells people where they are from, who they are, and where they should go. What makes unity, what people have in common, far above the individual interest.

IIFT is a speed-based exam. So work on your speed. The more mocks you appear, the better your speed would be! It’s all about time-management.
Sectional cut-off is really low. Don’t forget to answer and clear the minimum sectional cut-off for each section first. No matter if you end up scoring a 99 percentile but if you failed to clear the sectional cut-off of any 1 section even, you won’t be shortlisted.
Some essential topics to prepare for GK are: Current affairs, Economics, Politics, Science, Sports, History, Books, Geography, Business and Trade-related news.
There is negative marking in IIFT. So be consistent with your accuracy even in the mock exams. Mark the questions which you are absolutely sure of or you could go for logical or intelligent guesswork if confused between 2 options. But don’t attempt the questions if you don’t know.
It is an exam of your speed and accuracy. So practice what is going to work for you and take you ahead of others. Take mocks, run through them & analyze every mock properly!
Giving Mocks is the only strategy to ace this exam. Practicing from previous year’s papers is of immense help but you need to appear all the mocks before the actual exam. Analyze your strengths and weakness. Keep working on yourself and keep on improving till the actual exam.
Believe in yourself. Don’t underestimate yourself. “You can & you will do it!” Be confident and stay motivated all throughout your preparation. Keep working hard until you succeed. All the best!

Application fee: Rs 2000
No. of Centres: 41 centers across the country.
Exam Duration: 2 Hours
Total Questions: 110 Questions
Question Paper consists of 4 sections:
It’s easy but requires patience and practice. You need to invest your time judiciously and simultaneously ensure that accuracy is on point.
One of the main sections in an IIFT exam is the Reading Comprehension section, which requires avid speed to deliver the best performance. The best way to develop this speed is to read newspapers, especially editorials.
Concepts need to be brushed appropriately because fundamentals build the ultimate speed. For quantitative, speed, and accuracy counts; and this might be achieved through strengthening concepts and practicing regularly.
While giving the exam, it is essential for solving the easy section before moving to the difficult one, because the exam is purely based on cutoffs for each section.
While we talk about ease and difficulty, strengths and weaknesses come barging. It’s imperative for a candidate to identify his/her strengths and weaknesses. So that one can allow proper time to convert his weaknesses into strength and strengthen his strengths more.
You can get the extra edge by ensuring that you’re aware of both current affairs as well as static GK because acing this section is what will make or break this entrance for you.
It is a test of your speed and accuracy. So practice is what is going to get you ahead of others. Take mock tests, run them through, and analyze them. Prepare yourself for the time frame to get rid of any factor that is not adding to your performance.
Your focus should be on business and trade-related general knowledge because that is what the test setter is going to focus on. Read newspapers for current news and knowledge.
You always start with your strengths, in/out of the paper because it gives you a morale boost that makes the second half easy to attempt. Do not get stuck at a question while attempting the paper. If you do not know the answer, skip and come back to it once you’ve skimmed through the complete paper. That way you don’t miss something that you know only because you spent all your time on something that you didn’t know.
Like any other task in life, it is really important for you to ensure that your body doesn’t give up. You need to eat, sleep, and exercise well to be fresh and active all the time.
