What students say about Indian Institute of Foreign Trade - [IIFT]


Likes

  • The course curriculum is designed to foster and create the best learning opportunities for students.
  • The ideal amount of work experience to receive a shortlist is two years, as organizations searching for work experience individuals in sales and marketing prefer candidates with at least two years of experience.
  • The placements provided by the college are exceptionally superb, and the students gain a lot of experience and learning in the internships as well. The college alumni have been placed in reputed firms and are earning a lot of respect in their work environment.
  • Fees are paid trimester-wise, and there is a 50% waiver for SC/ST students.
  • More often than not, these sessions would bore you, but you have to sit through them to avoid receiving a piece of their minds from placement committee members. The seminars are knowledgeable.
  • The hostel has good infrastructure, and the maintenance is also very good and hygienic.
  • I discovered that it is the best college in Kolkata to pursue an MBA course.

Dislike

  • Unlike private institutions, the college is lenient with fee deadlines because it is a government institution

Placement Experience:

Placements are quite average as compared to MBA students. From 2nd-semester students become eligible to sit for the placements. Companies like CRISIL, KPMG, EY, NielsenIQ, Accenture, and American express visited our campus for the placements. The highest package offered was Rs.21 lakhs and the average is 10 lakhs. Only 25-30 students were placed out of the batch of 70 students. My plan after getting the degree would be to get a corporate job with the profile of an analyst.

Remarks:

The eligibility to apply for MA Economics In IIFT Delhi is to have Bachelor's degree in any field with at least 50 per cent marks in aggregate. After filling out the application form which is available on their website iift.ac.in and it costs rupees 1600 you need to sit for an AI Proctored Entrance Exam which is approximately 1 hour. I think the admission process is quite seamless but I faced a lot of problems while filling out the application form since no proper instructions were provided regarding that other than that the entrance test was very well organized.

Placement Experience:

At the end of 1st trimester, the placement cycle starts, so the first 3 months will be very hectic. Meetings with placement committee, classes during the day, seniors teaching in the night. Talking about placement stats IIFT Kolkata's avg package was around 2lakhs for 2 months (8-week internship). and Final placements for IIFT Kolkata were around 25 lakhs per year. the placement report of IIFT Delhi and Kolkata is combined, To give you insight IIFT Kolkata and Delhi both sit in placements together so, placement stats are more or less the same. To give you a number IIFT Kolkata placements are better than IIM Shillong.

Remarks:

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.
