IIFT giving wings to dreams

I made the decision to pursue an MBA in international business because IIFT is one of the few colleges in India that offers degrees in this field and because it has AACSB accreditation from AACSB international. Due to the small number of students who will have a USP and a bright future as a result of this decision, a monopoly will be created in the sector of international business. At IIFT, there are 1:20 instructors to students for a semester. The IIFT's faculty members hold doctorates in the subjects they teach there from universities abroad. IIFT is made up of academics with substantial industrial experience. The contact between teachers and students in the classroom is the focal point of the teaching methodology. Group projects and case presentations are given based on the course topic covered so that students can excell in them.

I will intern with ICICI Bank in the financial and digital marketing departments for a salary of Rs 1 lakh. I will get the chance to work closely with companies engaged in digital marketing because the project is focused on the possible disruptions to the digital market brought about by digital marketing.

Beginning with their fifth semester, students become qualified for campus placements. Among the well-known businesses that were visited were Microsoft, Dabur, JP Morgan Chase & Company, Goldman Sachs, and DE Shaw. No, 200 bids were submitted. The greatest package offered is Rs. 80 lakhs, and the average package is Rs. 22 lakhs. Among the profiles that are offered are those in finance, sales and marketing, consulting, international business, IT, analytics, and trade. Each child received a placement. After I graduate, I wish to work for a recognised enterprise engaged in global trade.

For two years, IIFT's tuition is roughly Rs. 18 lakh. It is less expensive when compared to other IIMs and private MBA schools. Minority students can receive the scholarship from the West Bengal and West Bengal state governments as well as the federal government. For other students, IIFT covers the loan interest. Students in SC and ST are entitled to a 50% fee reduction. When the average placement is considered along with the about 22 Lakh cost of attending IIFT, the return on investment is higher than that of other universities. IIFT has provided financial assistance, which includes paying my interest on loans for my education because I qualify for the GEN.

VIVAAN, an annual techno-management festival, takes place in October. Industry executives have a live discussion about current issues with Vivaan IIFT graduates. The library has books, research papers, and other materials that can be borrowed on a monthly basis with a library card. Free books are made available that are written by faculty members for the subjects they teach. One of the amenities in the classroom is an air conditioner, as well as spinning fans, a live projector, a desktop computer, a CPU, a wireless mouse, a wireless keyboard, cameras, and speakers. For sports, there are Olympia committees, gyms, and yoga courses accessible. Football and basketball tournaments are held in Olympia, and fitness organisations look for ways to operate gyms for students so they can succeed in sporting endeavours.

Hostel at the Kolkata Campus is between 50,000 and 65,000, and all MBA students have access to the residence halls. In addition, the hostel offers laundry and mess services, both of which have extra but very affordable costs. The boarding cost is INR 65000 per year.

I registered for the NTA IIFT 2022 exam. The online application form was filled out by candidates between September 21 and October 30, 2021. Filling out an application cost Rs. 2500. To enrol in the MBA(IB) programme at IIFT, you must have completed a minimum three-year Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks. The test took place on December 5, 2021. In the GEN category, a 95 percentile score was needed to be called in for an interview. In certain of the testing locations where the exam was retaken on December 5, 2021, a technical programme problem occurred. Due to a scheduling conflict with the exam, this caused issues for the pupils.

I did not have to go through a GD or any WAT because of the COVID 19 constraints. The standard steps in the process are PI, Release of Interview Calls, and GD/WAT/Extempore. I would read news stories daily to get ready, focusing especially on business news and its analysis. Candidates that are familiar with trade dynamics, such as current import and export trends, FTAs, CECA, and CEPA will also get extra points because it's a trade college.
