2. You have to plan to do to things take score in Gk part and math-reasoning-English part.
3. You have to clear cut-of in each section including GK.
4. For to gear up speed in each section you should start to solve Bank P.O.’s paper set. Because it is the test which have same paper style as IRMA.
5. And to score in GK there is one book name is “INDIA 2007” year book (year is changing every year).from this book you should read chapters related to agriculture, rural, etc.
Because GK of IRMA is mostly related to this all field.
6. IRMA takes its question paper back. So to get these papers there is one way is magazine “BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT”.
This magazine publishes paper of IRMA, XAT, SNAP, IIFT, MAT etc.
Of previous years. Exact one.
To get more than one paper for IRMA you have to subscribe more than magazine of “BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT”. And actually I don’t know the months in which Irma’s papers publish otherwise I don’t need to spend too much.
7. One more magazine is also available in which GK is given name of it is “yojana and kurushetra”.
8. One more thing is that to clear cut-off you should attempt 30-30-30-30 = 120 questions it means if you score between 80-90 or 90-100 you will get call for GD-PI .so that’s why I suggest gearing up speed.
9. Mail of one student who is studying in rural management course of XIMB.

abt g.k. connect people from c l, ims and time and collect g.k. test papers that they will issue say 1 or 2 weeks before irma. Extremely helpful.
