Aatish Jha's Review on Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, [IIFT] Delhi
Placements and Internships
My internship was at Axis Bank Limited. Companies that visit campus offer jobs and internships in various domains. Namely, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Consulting and General Management, Trade. Most of the trade profiles offered here are not offered in any other campus in India. IIFT has completed 50 years of existence and its alumni network is pretty widespread.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
Infrastructure is good. The campus, though, does not boast of an in-house playground which means that sports is not on IIFT's priority list.
Academics and Faculty
Academics at IIFT is pretty rigorous with the courses cut out perfectly to provide the necessary domain knowledge. Courses are relevant. Number of electives being offered is not high because of a strength of 160-odd people ion the Delhi Campus. Accessability of professors outside classes is also decent. Some faculty members need to come out of their comfort zone and migrate to modern/unorthodox teaching methodologies.
Fees and Scholarships
College fees is decent taking into account the tuition fees at comparable B-schools. Availability of bank loans is excellent.
Clubs and Associations
There are clubs dedicated to various domains. For example, we have BLASH (Buy Low and Sell High) Club focussed on providing peer-to-peer help and discussions on trade and related issues.
Sports infrastructure on campus is poor, to say the least.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : This is a course for Executives with experience of at least 3 yrs after Enginnering or 5 yrs after Commerce/Arts background. GD & PI is taken up once scrutiny is done on the basis of your application form. No cut-off. Just answer the straight questions in the application letter.
