How should one prepare for the GD/PI/essay writing round for the IIFT entrance exam?

RR

Studied at Medi-Caps Institute of Technology and Management (2018)

The GD and PI round depends completely on your knowledge about the respective topic, current trends, general knowledge, etc. The interviewers tend to check how practical and logical your approach is towards a particular question.

There are certain pointers to be kept in mind while preparing for the GD/ PI/ Essay Writing round for the IIFT entrance exam. They are discussed below -

  • Since most of them come from an Engineering background, a deep knowledge of economics is not something they are looking for. The ability to apply basics and the enthusiasm to be keen to acquire knowledge of the current economic condition of the country and the world is expected as you must be an alert citizen to be a good future manager.
  • You must read and gain knowledge about BRICS, IMF and WTO; countries with their capital cities and currencies, Indian economy's present scenario, role of the sector which you belong to, budget, etc. It is important to read - "The Hindu" and "Indian Express".
  • You can be questioned about your low scores in Graduation, in spite of being an above average student throughout their career and a genuine answer should be given.

IIFT sends a CV form which includes various questions like a student’s achievements, failures, regrets, ethics, practical knowledge, something inspirational, etc. 

Since it is sent almost a month before the interview date, you must keep a copy of it and try answering all the possible questions on it. Because that is how they will conduct the interview.

You must also be prepared to answer some questions related to their academics, their favourite subject and then ask questions related to that.

Being a 2nd-year student is too early to start preparing for UPSC CSE. You might tire yourself out and when the actual time comes to outperform, you might not have the energy left to cope. Here are some guidelines that might help you prepare for this exam well in advance.

  • Know your CSE syllabus well
  • Read NCERT books of History, Political Science, Geography, and Economics from classes 6-12. This will broaden your knowledge base and you will become well aware of economic policies which can be adopted in a particular social sector.
  • Another great way is to start reading the newspaper on a daily basis. Keep yourself well acquainted with the happenings in your country in the economic and other sectors. Develop your own opinions on the various issues prevailing in society. 

However, just reading NCERTs will not suffice for the exam. There are some additional standard books that you need to master to prepare well for your UPSC CSE exam.

  • Bipin Chandra's India's Struggle for Independence and History of Modern India.
  • M. Laxmikanth is the bible of Indian polity. 
  • Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh for economics
  • Challenge and Strategy: Rethinking India's Foreign Policy. 
  • Environment & Ecology: Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Disaster Management by Majid Hussain

These books will help you become well-versed in various topics asked in UPSC CSE. 

The major prerequisites for preparing for the UPSC CSE exam are NCERTs, the standard books I have mentioned, and The Hindu newspaper. These will help you ace the exam. Additionally, you can work for NGOs to get a sound knowledge of prevailing issues, and practice writing answers and you will be well on your way.
