IIFT Kolkata

I chose this course because of the "International Business" element of it. No other colleges offer this edge. The permanent faculties are really good they bought good examples, class activities, presentations, and case discussions into play to help learn and teach. There were lively discussions, some teachers even bought in videos contents to help develop a better understanding. Exams were conducted just after the trimester ended there wasn't any delay. If you have studied you will pass but if you haven't you will fail.

The work was in the finance domain and had a major impact on the going concern of the company. Major responsibilities were allocated to us. The average stipend on our campus is somewhere around 15. lac per month. It has been overall a good learning experience.

Placements generally happen around November- Dec i.e. in the 5th trimester. More than 100 companies visited and the average package was around 25 LPA, the highest around 80 LPA.
