Hi Abhaya,

IIFT is one of the most renowned B-schools in the country. Its trade and finance centric management programs are well-known. The institute works directly under the Ministry of Commerce. There is no difference as such if you talk about the Delhi and Kolkata campus. The institute started from Delhi and expanded to Kolkata and now in Kakinada (AP). I recently visited the IIFT Delhi campus and had a conversation with the Director of the institute, Prof. Manoj Pant. According to him, the institute doesn't compromise in terms of quality of education even though the intake is slightly increased. The institute is also starting an Economic programme and widening its horizons without compromising on its quality and placements. And, placements are certainly not an issue at IIFT whether it's Delhi or Kolkata. 

The interview of the Director will soon be published on the Careers360 portal. Visit the website to know more about the institute. 

Hope that helps.

Hi Rohit,

The basic eligibility to apply for IIFT is a minimum of 3 years Bachelors degree in any discipline. In case of the executive programme, postgraduate degree/ Engineering or equivalent with not less than three years work experience is needed. no subject requirements.

Good luck.

Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi takes the admission through CAT, XAT, GMAT, IIFT. As per the eligibility you should have minimum 50% in your graduation  & 45% as a reserved category. You can check the further information about the college with the given below link.

IIFT Admission Eligibility

Good Luck!

Overall you have a very strong profile now you need an excellent performance in CAT exam. If you can get above 99.6 percentile in CAT then you will definitely get calls from all IIMs and with a decent interview & WAT round you can  get admission

For XLRI you need to appear for XAT. You need to score 96 percentile and above to get a call for BM and 94 percentile and above for HRM. Besides you also need to clear sectional cut-offs. 

First of all Sivaramaraju none of the IIMs and IIFT gives admission through GMAT for their regular full-time MBA programme. In IIMs you get admission through GMAT for executive MBA programme which is a one year course and is applicable to the students with atleast more than 5 years work experience.

For the regular MBA programme, IIMs especially conducts CAT exam and that is the only exam to get admission in any of the IIMs whereas to get admission in Indian Institute of foreign trade it conducts its own examination named IIFT for the admission in both centres - Delhi & Kolkatta. GMAT score is only valid for foreign students to get admission in the college.

If you are an NRI then you would be eligible to take admission through GMAT score and it will be good to give this examination in the month of Oct-Dec because after that second round procedure starts for all the candidates. But this is applicable only if you are a foreign student.

GMAT is an exam which is mainly conducted across the world to pursue your MBA degree from the foreign b-schools. In India top, most Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, is the one which gives admission to students only on the basis of GMAT examination score.Some of the private colleges in India also accept GMAT score along with other MBA exam scores like CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT etc. to give admission in their college.

All the best!!
