Course Curriculum Overview
Due to IIFT's AACSB certification from AACSB International, it has a strong emphasis on international business. While IIFT offers superb academics and specialized international business courses, other IIMs offer general courses. For one trimester, IIFT has a faculty-to-student ratio of 1:40. As they provide feedback for the WTO and FTA, faculties are in regular communication with the commerce ministry. The primary focus of faculties is on student participation. After the third grade, homework is given. Tests, midterms, and finals are the components that are weighted 30:30:40. One who attends courses regularly and takes notes will do well on exams. Class Size: 200 Courses, Fees INR 10 Lakh per year.
Internships Opportunities
With a stipend of Rs 1.5 lakh, I'll be taking on sales and marketing internships with Dabur. There are further fields to investigate, including product management, finance, general management, consulting, trade, and operations. The ideal amount of work experience to receive a shortlist is two years, as they receive shortlists from organizations searching for workex individuals in sales and marketing. Seniors aid in fostering corporate culture, which aids in landing a successful internship.
Placement Experience
Apart from PPO, students have the opportunity to be placed starting in the fifth trimester. Visits to the university have been made by Microsoft, Dabur, JP Morgan Chase and Company, Flipkart, ITC, HUL, HSBC, CITI Bank, Goldman Sachs, Mckinsey, and DE Shaw. 200 applicants were hired. Tolaram offers the highest foreign package at Rs. 80 lakhs, and the average 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 consulting company like Mckinsey, Ernst & Young, or Optum after receiving my degree.
Fees and Financial Aid
Around 22.5 lakh was spent overall at IIFT for two years. Fees are lower than at other IIMs. The West Bengal government offers scholarships to students who live in the state through the Sarvuthaan site, and the central government offers scholarships to minorities through the Nai Manzil and Roshni schemes. SC and ST pay pro-rata fees. You can get up to 80 lakh placement for 22.5 Lakh invested. 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 Microsoft, with a stipend of one lakh rupees a month for two months.
Campus Life
3000 people visit IIFT in October as a result of the techno-management festival Vivaan. In Vivaan, 30 IIFT alumni, 15 faculty members, and 20 industry leaders exchange their experiences in an open forum. Through a library card, you can access books and research papers for 30 days. even in some works written by academics. A live projector, one desktop, a microphone, and 52 wood chairs are all included in the 12 spacious classrooms. There are gyms, yoga classes, and an Olympia committee. Student-run club pages on Instagram Inc. The fitnessility has a 24-hour gym, and Olympia hosts sectional competitions during games.
Hostel Facilities
In the hostel, each wing has a private bathroom and a common area with a table for playing carrom or table tennis and a television to watch the World Cup and FIFA matches. Every single room is supplied with a bed, a dresser, an armoire, a balcony, a study table, and a rack. 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. Only online application forms may 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. Date: 5 December 2021. The cutoff ranged from 20 to 95 percentile with a score of 98, depending on the section. Because the exam had to be retaken in 25 sites due to a technological issue, pupils had trouble preparing because they also had to take other exams. The use of good user-friendly test software and the ability to administer mock IIFT exams can prevent such situations. The NTA autonomous body oversees this.
Interview Experience
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 three minutes. PI came next. PI took an extra 15 minutes. I prepared for my PI interview by reading the daily Live mint and watching videos on YouTube that discussed current events, economic concepts, global relations, geopolitics, etc. I also referred to the transcripts of previous applicants. Before a personal interview, you should review ideas in geopolitics and international relations. The practice of extempore in front of a mirror requires complete confidence.
