IIFT to an amazing experience and learning.

Faculty: Faculty is very nice, they have Ph.D. and constantly remain in touch with industry. Some faculty like MS Tammanna is very good for trade and agri commodities. Being a very old institution it has attracted lot of good teachers who have done and have experience in teaching IIM A.

Great infrastructure and placements.
Placements: Due to a smaller batch size when compared to other top B-schools, IIFT always has a record of 100% placements in both summer internships and final placements. The placement report clearly states all the companies that visit our campus. Generally, high salary packages are offered for international roles in trade domain, and the highest CTC offered till now is 1.50 crores per annum. In the domestic level, the highest salary package offered is 29 LPA.
Infrastructure: With a batch of around 120 students and a brand new campus, infrastructure is never an issue at IIFT Kolkata. Although, there is a lack of sports facilities. However, the gym and indoor gaming facilities are excellent. The ambience in campus is peaceful and beautiful.
Faculty: Electives are decided based on students voting every year. There is an option to go for dual majors. A general misconception about IIFT is that it has a very tough course curriculum for PG degree in international business which is not true. The courses are very smoothly distributed across the 18 months.
Other: The culture at IIFT improved since last year. Advait 1.0 is the cultural fest organised at IIFT Kolkata. Many other inter and intra sports fests are conducted throughout the year.

Placements for summers and finals are good. A serene campus to live in with an exceptional pedagogy.
Placements: Placements are the most important aspect of joining a B-School. IIFT has maintained its record of having 100% placements every year. Being a trade college, we have the highest paying offers from commodity trading companies with the package in 8 digits and international offers. Most of the companies that visit in summer placements also offer an international project, and on getting a PPO, you can get an international role. So, IIFT stands by its name of specialising in international trade.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Kolkata campus is like a resort with many amenities. The library is well-stocked with the books of all domains. The classrooms are well-maintained to give you a professional feel of MBA which is a huge upgrade that you might have had in your bachelors. Our college has three beautiful lakes, a centralised air-conditioning system, a huge auditorium with all technical facilities of sound projectors, etc. There is a digital room which you can utilise for availing computer facilities and to take printouts. Coming to the hostel part, we have a volleyball court, a badminton court, a table tennis room, a TV room, and a dance room where there is a huge mirror to practice. Food in the mess is good and clean, and there is a change in the menu every month, so you don't get bored with eating the same food. There are common rooms to help you with your group assignments and a visiting doctor for healthcare.
Faculty: All the faculty members are well-experienced with high specialisation in all domains. Every classroom has a projector where case-studies are displayed to help the student with real-life scenarios for understanding the subject.
