Course Curriculum Overview
Because IIFT is one of the few institutions in India offering degrees in international business and because it has received AACSB accreditation from AACSB International, I decided to pursue an MBA in international business. This choice establishes a monopoly in the field of international business because very few students will have a USP and a promising future. For one semester, there are 1:20 instructors to students at IIFT. Faculty members have doctorates in the fields in which they teach at IIFT from foreign universities. Academics with extensive industrial experience make up IIFT. The technique of instruction is centered on interactions between teachers and students in the classroom. Based on the material covered in the course, group projects and case presentations are assigned so that students can learn about applications.
Internships Opportunities
I've been awarded operations and digital marketing internships at Optum, and I'll be working there for free in exchange for a Rs 1 lakh stipend. The aim of the project, which is focused on how the advent of digital marketing would disrupt the market, is to increase client productivity. As a result, I will have the opportunity to collaborate directly with businesses that operate in the field of digital marketing.
Placement Experience
In their fifth semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Among the well-known companies that were visited were Microsoft, Dabur, JP Morgan Chase & Company, Goldman Sachs, and DE Shaw. No, 200 offers were made. The largest package available is Rs. 80 lakhs, with the average package being Rs. 22 lakhs. Among the offered profiles are those in finance, sales, and marketing, consulting, international business, information technology, analytics, and trade. Every child was assigned a place. I wish to work for a reputable multinational business organization after I graduate.
Fees and Financial Aid
For two years, it's academic expenses come to roughly Rs. 18 lahks. It costs cheaper compared to other IIMs and private MBA programs. Minority students can receive a scholarship from the federal government, as well as from the state governments of West Bengal and West Bengal. Other students' loan interest is covered by IIFT. SC and ST students are eligible for a 50% fee reduction. When the cost of attending IIFT is factored in along with the average placement salary of Rs. 22 Lakh, the return on investment is higher than that of other universities. Since I am a GEN applicant, IIFT has provided financial assistance, which includes paying my interest on loans for my education.
Campus Life
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 every month 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 organizations look for ways to operate gyms for students so they can succeed in sporting endeavors.
Hostel Facilities
The cost of attending the MBA program at the Kolkata Campus ranges from 50,000 to 65,000 for hostels. All MBA students have access to the dorms. The hostel also provides laundry and mess services, both of which have extra but very affordable costs. The cost of the hostel is INR 65,000.
Admission
I passed the IIFT 2022 exam administered by NTA. Between September 21 and October 30, 2021, applications could be submitted online. The application form cost 2500 rupees. A minimum 3-year Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 50% is required by the IIFT to enrol students in the MBA(IB) programme. Ten per cent of the seats were reserved for newly introduced EWS reservations. On December 5, 2021, the exam was administered. For Gen 95 percentile with 100 marks was the cutoff for the Gen category for an interview call. Due to a conflict in the exam's schedule, students experienced difficulties when the IIFT exam, which was scheduled to be given on December 5, 2021, had to be redone in some centres due to a technical software fault.
Interview Experience
I was exempt from any GD or WAT because of the COVID-19 limits. The typical steps in the process are PI, Release of Interview Calls, GD/WAT/Extempore, and these. I would read the news every day to get ready, paying special attention to business news and its analysis. Additionally, considering that it is a trade institution, applicants who have a working grasp of trade dynamics, such as current import and export trends, FTAs, CECA, and CEPA, will be granted extra credit.
