IIFT Kolkata, Executive, International Business

Reviewed on Jun 20, 2020

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is industriously designed and it gives us a deep insight into the facets of international business. Learning is a persistent process and the course is taught through coursework and complex case studies where we get a chance to apply the principles learnt in theory.

Placement Experience

4.5

The placement opportunities are amazing and the packages are also high. Top recruiters are from Google, Amazon, PepsiCo, Adani, airtel, titan, Godrej and bata among others. The average packages are around rupees 19 lakhs per annum and the highest domestic package can be around rupees 31 lakhs.

College Events

Our college organises a month-long social awareness programme where NGOs come and explain their plans and the students get an opportunity to work closely with an NGO and help them in building new strategies. Several sports competitions and quizzes are also organised.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee for the executive course is around rupees 3.5 lakh per annum. The fee is quite high but it is worth opportunities and facilities provided by the college. The placements are really good and the exposure which students get through international exchange programmes and internships is also worth it.

Campus Life

Though there is an extensive entrance exam consisting of several rounds, earlier there was a gender gap. But since 2015 the number of female students has increased by almost 25 per cent which is actually a good sign. Other activities like sessions with veterans and notable alumni give us a chance of learning and broadening our horizon.

Admission

In order to take admission in the executive postgraduate course, I first had to submit an application. After my application was shortlisted I was called for essay writing, group discussion and personal interview. After clearing all these rounds I was selected to take admission in the college.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty members are highly educated and P.hd holders and patiently teach us the concepts and clarify our doubts. Also, some of them have worked for big business firms so they give us an insight into the real corporate field and how theories are actually applied in real life.

Fixed timetable Classes, regular assessment and class test
The professors are very qualified and their teaching style is excellent.
A lot of books are available in the main library as well as in the department library

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum of Calcutta University is aligned with other entrance examination (eg.IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, GATE etc.) Specially for the Physics BSc course. And the syllabus is updated Artificial intelligence bacis, Python Advance level is in syllabus, it's completed in college. Point to be Noted - The time given to prepare for the exam is sometimes ample but sometimes it is very less. So we have to prepare syllabus in time which is little bit frustrating.

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

The Framework is said to be great, with well equipped classroom and simply get to the libraries.
The offices at this college are great. In any case, these changes depending on the quality of the companies going by the college and the victory of the internship changes by the internship.
Understudies appreciate the campus life and flexibility to associate with others understudies. However, there are few impediments such as the division of floors between senior and junior. College life is nice and could be an inviting place for others

Dislikes

The college doesn't have lodging, and understudies must organize their settlement locally.
The college doesn't have a big field to play like any other big college

Placement Experience:

In Syamaprasad College placements and internships are given to the final year students. And the companies that offer placements are Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. The highest package goes up to 20-24 lakhs and the average package goes to 6-8 lakhs. 70-80% of students get their placement in my college. At that time I planned to get the degree and apply to a multinational company with a high salary package with company facilities.

IIFT takes its own exam which is called the IIFT entrance test. The eligibility criteria for the exam are the same as the CAT. The application form is 2500/- and the exam usually happens after a week of CAT You will get your result in the month of Feb and interview shortlist in the same month. The interview happens after a month gap from the shortlist. Before the interview, they send you some questions (HR Questions) which you have to submit 15 days before the interview, and the interview is based on that. Try to form your answers on that. And deliver it, the interviews are easy. Usually they say the cutoff is 96-99ile but this is for GEM, but remember that you are not a GEM (if you are nothing can be done about it), so the shortlist would come for people with even 85+ile so, be prepared and people convert at this percentile....Read More

IIFT A multidimensional learning

I passed the IIFT 2022 exam administered by NTA. Between September 21 and October 30, 2021, applications could be submitted online. The application form cost 2500 rupees. A minimum 3-year Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 50% is required by the IIFT to enrol students in the MBA(IB) programme. Ten per cent of the seats were reserved for newly introduced EWS reservations. On December 5, 2021, the exam was administered. For Gen 95 percentile with 100 marks was the cutoff for the Gen category for an interview call. Due to a conflict in the exam's schedule, students experienced difficulties when the IIFT exam, which was scheduled to be given on December 5, 2021, had to be redone in some centres due to a technical software fault....Read More
