"Only these (IIFT) guys know how to set a balanced but difficult paper."

IIFT 2008 confirms that the IIFT 2006 has set the trend for the future IIFT entrance examinations. This gives test-takers some relief as the test has gotten more standardised and balanced. However, the test sections will continue to haunt the test-takers' minds because of the level of difficulty.
