    Academics

    Rigorous curriculum with diverse subjects. Unique aspect is the International Trade related subjects which is the USP of IIFT. Also contains various non-academic aspects including social awareness program and port visit as a mandatory part of the degree.

    Academics

    I have studied finance from here. Professors are quite good. Campus have library and Bloomberg facilities. Apart from theoretical education, professors give assignments which helps in practical learning.

    College Infra

    As per no of intake of students, infrastructure facilities are quite good. Every students get single room for hostel accommodation. Classroom facilities are quite good. Area around the campus have not much facilities.

    Campus Life

    Campus have lush green area under 7 acres. Location of campus is outskirt

    Placements

    During our days, placement were good but as no of students intake rose, the placement quality reduced. Don't go with the average salary of any colleges as it doesn't give the actual picture. Talk with any alumni from the college, they will give you the actual scenario

    Value For Money

    9 lakhs. It's my personal opinion. I don't think MBAs are value for money.

    Academics

    The professors came from top-notch backgrounds, and they ensured that the right material was provided to students through the various courses which were designed and distributed in a systematic manner.

    College Infra

    The college has all the necessary infrastructure, including properly ventilated spaces & equipment to facilitate learning. The hostel was well-maintained, and the food was also prepared following proper hygiene standards.

    Campus Life

    Students are engaged in various enriching activities ranging from sports& cultural activities to knowledge skilling sessions.

    Placements

    The placements were competitive yet most of the students in the batch received preferred roles & respectable offers from top firms in the industries that they wanted to join. The average package is around 18LPA.

    Value For Money

    The overall course cost would come to approximately 20Lakhs, and I believe it was worth the money as I received the best education from a top-tier BSchool.
