    Academics

    Currently i am passed my MBA in International Business from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade so would like to tell about my personal experience. The faculty members are very good and polite towards the students. The faculty building is well managed. Good college.

    College Infra

    Indian Institute of Foreign Trade can enjoy nature's beauty in the campus. campus has many facilities like well maintained Gymnasium. You can find Organic Farming facilities and Rain water harvesting facilities also. Mess food is also good. The only problem is transportation, you can't Find Ola, Uber etc. Only Private cars arranged by nearby shops are available which is costly. But if you have your own automobile then you are at safe side.

    College life IIFT is really amazing.

    Placements in our IIFT institute are decent in terms of ROI. If you are investing in any college and you don't get returns, then there is no point in investing.
