Course Curriculum Overview
Since IIFT has received AACSB accreditation from AACSB International, it provides exceptional features for conducting international business. Professors' concepts aid in luring top trade companies' HR and making placement simple. For one trimester, there is a 1:40 instructor-to-student ratio at IIFT. Due to their exposure to industry and post-doctoral training from top universities, faculty members have achieved great success in their fields. Teachers clarify concepts through free dialogue. A group case task is offered to help students grasp subjects in a practical setting. There are three parts: quizzes, midterms, and finals. Exam performance can be improved by attending lectures regularly and taking notes. 200 students per class; INR 1,000,000 in tuition annually.
Internships Opportunities
I've been given sales and marketing internships with ABFRL, and I'm going to accept them along with a Rs 1 lakh stipend. You can also investigate other areas like product management, finance, general management, consulting, trade, and operations. The majority of new graduates have summer employment opportunities in sales and marketing. Learning in these areas can aid in establishing a company's business culture.
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
A total of 23.5 lakhs was spent at IIFT over a two-year period. Regarding all other IIMs, it offers a fair return on investment. Through Nai Manzil and Roshni Schemes, the central government provides scholarships to minorities, and the West Bengal government provides scholarships to students who are residents of the state. SC and ST pay half of the fees. You receive a minimum placement of 225,000 by investing 22.5 lakhs. I took out a student loan since I'm a GEN candidate, and IIFT paid back the interest for two years. With a stipend of one lakh per month for two months, I was offered a summer internship at the Noida-based sales and marketing firm ABFRL.

In October footfall in IIFT is maximum due to the techno-management festival Vivaan. In Vivaan industry experts, faculties, and IIFT alumni share their experiences through open discussion.

Boys and girls can eat together on the first floor in the mess. Nescafe and laundry facilities are also inexpensively accessible. Hostel Fee: INR 65,000 per year
Admission
I took the IIFT 2022 examination. Application forms must be completed online. It cost Rs. 2500 to fill out an application. Bachelor's degree of at least three years and at least 50 percent necessary. The exam took place on December 5, 2021. Around 20 percent was the limit for many areas. Because of a technical software issue, some testing facilities had to administer the exam again, which presented logistical and psychological challenges for the students who also had to take other exams. In order to prevent such situations, exams can be administered using high-quality, user-friendly software and mock IIFT exams
Interview Experience
I received an interview call, but only an extempore and personal interview were planned. In extempore, you had one minute to ponder about the topic before delivering it for two minutes. PI came next. I prepared for my PI by reading the media and studying current events on YouTube using IQ ideas related to economics, geopolitics, international relations, etc. I also reviewed the transcripts of former candidates.
