What students and alumni say about placements, academics and campus life
"₹1.23 Cr international highest CTC in 2025 — that was our batch. Investment Banking at Bloomberg, Goldman, JPMC, HSBC, Citi consistently come to IIFT for international postings. The trade-specialised curriculum makes us uniquely useful for cross-border roles."
"IIFT is unfairly slept on. NIRF #17 doesn't reflect the actual placement strength. ₹31.30 LPA avg in 2025 is competitive with top IIMs at lower fees. The AACSB accreditation is genuinely valuable internationally — I had recruiters in Singapore specifically asking about it."
"Being part of a Government of India institute (Ministry of Commerce & Industry) opens doors that private B-schools can't. I worked on a live project with the WTO India team during my MBA. The trade-policy interface is real and unique."
"I joined the FIRST batch of MBA (Business Analytics) — was nervous about being a guinea pig. Final placement at Tiger Analytics + offers from Blackstone, MAQ Software, dunnhumby. The curriculum is current (Python, R, ML, Tableau, Cloud) and the recruiter pipeline is robust from day one. ₹25.30 LPA avg in our batch."
"IIFT Delhi campus is beautiful — overlooks Qutub Minar and Mehrauli ridge. The "Atrium" architectural feature is iconic. Compared to FMS's heritage red brick, IIFT has a more modern feel. Hostel was decent."
"Trade-off: alumni network is smaller than IIMs. About 8,000-10,000 active alumni vs IIM A's 60,000+. But IIFT alumni in International Business and Trade are very tight-knit — strong WhatsApp groups, frequent referrals, and recruiter alumni-led pipelines."
"IIFT had a separate entrance exam (IIFT Entrance Exam) for years. Recent batches have accepted CAT scores too. Prep is similar to CAT but with international business/economics awareness layer."
