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.
