IIFT to an amazing experience and learning.

Placements: All students were placed, top roles were offered by international companies. Top recruiting companies include tata steel, airtel, sharpoji pallonji, vodafone, P&G. Median package was 15lpa and minimum was 10lpa. Top roles were finance and IT. Operations .

Infrastructure: Very good infrastructure. Everyone has a separate room. My room had a balcony also. Everyday maid comes and cleans. It is located outside the city so its calm. No outside food is readily available as located very far off from the city. One mall is there called acropolis.

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.
