Which is better for an MBA in international business, Delhi School of Economics or IIFT?

IIFT being an old institute has gained its reputation over the years as one of the premier institutes of management in India. As a result, IIFT has been performing exceptionally well as compared to DSE in terms of its reach, peer group, and placements.

The following are a few significant factors that you should know before choosing a B-School.

Peer Group- International Business is a niche course not offered by old IIMs. Hence, it makes students interested in it to go for IIFT, eventually making the entrance exam of IIFT quite competitive. DSE, on the other hand, takes admission through CAT and is more often gets at much lower percentiles. Hence, the Peer group at IIFT is much better when compared to DSE.

Ranking -IIFT is ranked consistently among the top 10 B-Schools in India. Over the years, it has developed a brand value for itself compared to DSE, which has started IB just a few years back and is yet to prove its mettle.

Infrastructure- In terms of infrastructure, IIFT is much better than DSE, as it has a big campus and above par hostels. It is a perfect place to enjoy your college life compared to DSE, which doesn’t have its campus and operates within Delhi University.

Faculty- Faculty is at par for both the Institutes as DSE is known for its Economics courses. Hence it has well-reputed faculties, and so has IIFT.

Placements- Average Salary for IIFT in 2018 was19.2 LPAand had been increasing at a decent pace over the years. DSE average placements in 2018 were8.25 LPA.

FEEs- DSE gets an edge on this factor as DSE fees are 34000 for two years as compared to IIFT, which takes a hefty amount of 16 lakhs for two years.
