Course Curriculum Overview

4

Due to IIFT's AACSB accreditation from AACSB International, it provides exceptional features for doing business internationally. Professorial concepts facilitate placement and draw in top trade companies' HR departments. For one trimester, IIFT has a faculty-to-student ratio of 1:40. Having experience in the industry and a post-doctoral degree from an esteemed university, faculty members have achieved success in their fields. Open conversation is used by teachers to clarify concepts. Group case tasks are presented to help students understand concepts in context. Exams, midterms, and finals are all elements. One who attends courses regularly and takes notes will do well on exams.

Internships Opportunities

4

I've been given marketing and business analytics internships with TCS, and I'm going to accept both with a stipend of Rs 1 lakh. There are further fields to investigate, including product management, finance, general management, consulting, trade, and operations. Most new graduates get the chance to work in sales and marketing over the summer. Learning in these areas can aid in forming a business and cultural cultures.

Placement Experience

The chance for placement begins in the fifth trimester, in addition to the preplacement offer. Campus visitors from Microsoft, Dabur, JP Morgan Chase and Company, Goldman Sachs, and DE Shaw. 200 candidates were hired. Microsoft's top domestic package is Rs. 45 lakhs, and the typical is Rs. 21 lakhs. Finance, Sales and Marketing, Consulting, International Business, IT, Analytics, and Trade are among the available profiles. I intend to work for a reputable trade company like Cargill, Olam International, or Cofico after receiving my degree.

Fees and Financial Aid

Around 22.5 lakh was spent overall at IIFT for two years. Compared to other IIMs, it offers a decent return on investment. Through Nai Manzil and Roshni Schemes, the national government offers scholarships to minorities, while the state of West Bengal offers scholarships to students who are residents there. SC and ST pay pro-rata fees. You can place at least 22.5 lakh by investing 22.5 lakh. As a GEN candidate, I took out a student loan, and IIFT covered the interest for two years. I was offered a summer internship with the Noida-based sales and marketing division of Tata Consultancy Services, with a stipend of one lakh rupees a month for two months.

Campus Life

4.5

Due to the techno-management event Vivaan, IIFT sees its most foot traffic in October. Industry professionals, faculty members, and IIFT graduates openly discuss their experiences in Vivaan. Through a library card, you can access books and research papers, and you can print them off. even in some works written by academics.

Student-run club pages on Instagram include Socrates, Product Cell, Blash, Equity research cell, Entrepreneur cell, Capital, Bandwagon, Scope, Public policy cell, Renaissance, and Pixcell. The fitness facility has a 24-hour gym, and Olympia hosts sectional competitions during games.

Hostel Facilities

4

In the hostel, each wing has a private bathroom and a common area with a table tennis and carrom board. Every single room is furnished. Boys and girls can eat together on the first floor's mess. Nescafe and laundry facilities are also inexpensively accessible. The annual hostel fee is INR 65000.

Admission

I passed the IIFT 2022 test. Online application forms must be completed. The cost of the application form was Rs. 2500. Bachelor's degree of at least three years with a minimum grade point average is necessary. The exam day was December 5, 2021. The threshold for various portions was roughly 20%. The exam had to be redone in certain centers due to a technical software issue, which presented logistical and psychological challenges for the students since they also had to take additional exams. The use of good user-friendly test software and the ability to administer mock IIFT exams can prevent such situations.

Interview Experience

4

Only an extempore and personal interview were arranged when I received the interview call. Extempore topics required you to think about them for one minute before presenting them to the class for two minutes. PI came next. I prepared for my PI by reading the newspaper and watching videos on YouTube that discussed current events, economic concepts, global relations, and geopolitics. I also referred to the transcripts of previous applicants.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the course only because of our HOD, but after completing my course, he left the course. He has helped us with all the things like web development and seo skills. By doing it practically for every student, he offers a domain for every student. I had difficulty with Google Ads & meta ads because it was taught by another faculty. The exam times were different by 3 months.

Remarks:

It is one of the renowned institutes in Kolkata. But after admission got the clear msg. It is renowned for its engineering degree only not for PGDM or MBA. They even dont have proper faculties to teach students. I majored in Business Analytics, but back to then in 2019 there was not even one teacher who have subject knowledge.
