Elibility and Entrance Procedure for NIFT MFM

Hello Sir, Presently I m doing graduation and this is my last year so i want to go for NIFT MFM so can you please tell the eligibility and entrance procedure?

This is a question very commonly asked by the students. Here is my way of looking at it:

Eligibility: Any graduate is eligible. For details you can log on to the NIFT website and find the details.

Entrance Procedure: A student needs to clear a written exam called GAT ( General Ability Test) and MAT ( Management Ability Test). Basically it is an objective type test which have standard questions on Quantitative Ability, Reasoning and Verbal Ability along with a section on General Knowledge ( which includes knowledge of fashion). The level of the exam is medium. Thus if you are preparing for CAT, this exam is a cakewalk. After the written is over , you will be called for a Group Discussion,  Psychometric Test and Interview and that’s it. GDs and interviews are standard as in any MBA institute. Psychometric test measures your psychological soundness to complete the course.

How to Prepare: You would do well to prepare for the general MBA examination. Generally the process starts in the month of October/November. The entrance examination is in the month of January and the GD/Interview in the month of May.


You can find more about MFM programme here.

In future posts, I would elaborate on what to read/study for NIFT MFM.

Number System-2

0- insignificant digit
others 1,2,3,4,5, ... significant digits

Numeral : Group of figures, representing a number is called a numeral

Natural Nos: N = {1,2,3...]
Whole Nos: N = {0,1,2,3...]
Integers: N \ { -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, ]

Rational No= When the nos are written in fractions 1/2, 3/4, 8/9 (Where a and b are integers and b is not = 0, eg a/b)

Irrational Nos: When a number cannot be written as a/b eg. sqrt (3) or sqrt(2)

Real No= Rational + Irrational
Comosite No= A number other than 1 which is not prime is a composite number
Even No.
Odd No.
Consecutive Nos= 6,7,8
Prime Numbers= other than 1 is prime if it is divisible by 1 and itself only

Prime numbers upto 100 are (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97)

Rules of Divisibility


Divisibility by 2- Last Digit must be even or 0
Divisibility by 3- Sum of Digits - must be divisible by 3
Divisibility by 4- Last 2 digits divisible by 4 or two or more zeros at the end
Divisibility by 5- Last Digit should be either 0 or 5
Divisiiblity by 6- The number should be divisible by 3 AND 2

(divisibility by mxn--> then number should be divisible by m and n)

Divisibility by 7--> Remember the number (-2). Thus to check divisibility of 112 by 7, take the last digit , 2, multiply by (-2), subtract this number(-4) from the number left which is 11-4=7.

Thus the number is divisible by 7

or 112--> 11-2x2 = 7 div by 7
296--> 29-6x2=21 div by 7

Divisibilty by 8--> Last 3 digits divisible by 8 or three or more zeros at the end.

Divisibility by 9--> Sum of digits divisible by 9

Divisibility by 10--> 0 at the end

Divisibility by 11--> Sum of digits at even and odd place are equal or differ by a number divisible by 11.

eg
3245682

Sum of digits at even place: 2+5+8=15
Sum of digits at odd place: 3+4+6+2=15

Their difference= 15-15=0, thus the number is divisible by 11

Divisibility by 12--> Number should be divisible by both 4 and 3
Divisibility by 13--> Remember a number +4, proceeding as in case of 7
Thus
143---> 14+3x4=26 ( div by 13)

Divisibility by 14--> Number should be divisible by both 2 and 7

Divisibility by 16--> Last 4 Digits divisible by 16

divisibility by 17--> Remember a number (-5) , proceed as in 7 and 13

1904= 190-4x5=170 (div by 17)

Divisibility by 18--> 9 and 2

Divisibility by 19--> Remember a number +2

342 = 34+2x2 = 38 (div by 19)
