Important Information

FROM THE DIRECTOR

Set up by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India in

1963, to help professionalize India's foreign trade management and

contribute to the country's increased engagement in International Trade,

IIFT has made significant contribution towards building professional

management skills. Diversifying the domain of research to providing high

quality education today IIFT figures in the league of top business schools of

India. In achieving its mission to strengthen, sustain and professionalize business knowledge through

creative research and teaching, the Institute has signed MoUs with several organizations, institutions and

universities both within and beyond national boundaries and have been implementing joint

programmes.

IIFT prides itself being a catalyst for new ideas, concepts and skills related to the domain of International

Business. It is an institution with established credentials and capabilities to continuously upgrade its

knowledge base keeping pace with the changing realities of the business world. It is because of the rapid

strides that the Institute made in accomplishing its task of professionalizing international business

education that the Institute was awarded the status of Deemed University in 2002 and accredited as "A

Grade" institution by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in May 2005. CRISIL in

its inaugural Business School Grading Programme in January 2011 has assigned a rating of A*** ('A' triple

star) at national and NCR level; the highest. The rating measured after exhaustive exercise across 9

parameters indicates that IIFT is among the top business schools.

Keeping in view the requirements and needs of management education in the area of international

business for the working executives, the Institute introduced the three-year part-time MBA (IB) Degree

Programme in the year 2000. More than 60 per cent participants of this programme consist of Senior

Managers, Directors, Vice Presidents, CEOs, Officers from Defence Services and senior IAS Officers.

The average work experience ranges between 10 to 15 years cutting across sectors, thus providing an

outstanding opportunity for lateral learning.

We strive for excellence in what we do. We maintain the rigour of constant evaluation, quizzes and project

work at a level similar to that of the MBA full-time Programme. Further, the Institute's rigorous selection

process and continuous evaluation, culminating with award of a Masters Degree has high employment

value and academic rating.

My best wishes to you in your search for excellence.
