Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) set up in 1963 by the Ministry of

Commerce & Industry, Government of India has, during the nearly 50

years of its existence, established a robust reputation as the leading School

of Business offering Masters in Business Administration, specialising in

International Business. Recognising that this Institute has evolved into a

fine academic centre of teaching, research and capacity building, IIFT was

elevated to the status of a Deemed to be University under Section 3 of UGC

Act 1956 in 2002. Recognising the need to expand the reach of the Institute,

the Kolkata campus was opened in 2006. The bouquet of long-term

educational programmes offered at the Institute include PhD, MBA

(International Business), Executive MBA in International Business,

Executive Post Graduate Diploma in International Business, Executive

Post Graduate Diploma in International Business (EPGDIB) thru VSAT, Executive Post Graduate

Diploma in Industrial Marketing, Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Capital & Financial Markets and

Post Graduate Diploma in International Business for Young Managers.

MBA in International Business is the most sought after course where keen competition for enrollment is

witnessed, year after year. The growing interest in MBA (IB) is understandable in the context of

increasing market and governance challenges around the world and consequently, the growing

complexities of International Business. The MBA (IB) programme is rich in content and groom the

participants to take on the challenges and complexities of global business. The course content and

curricula are reviewed on an annual basis, ensuring incorporation of the latest developments in each

discipline. The growing industry partnership has enabled the Institute to roll out courses and

programmes that have high practical relevance in the field of Business and Commerce. The growing

positive industry perception on the quality of the MBA (IB) programme has translated into the strong

presence of industry and corporates in recruiting from the campus. Practically, all sectors and spheres of

industry and commerce are regularly recruiting from the campus and cent percent students of Delhi and

Kolkata campus get placed.

True to the nature of the Institute and its core area of strength, strong international linkage is a unique

feature of the Institute. The partnership with leading global knowledge centres and universities have

provided excellent opportunities for IIFT students to study in those institutions under the student

exchange programme. Similarly, students from overseas institutions come to IIFT to study a full

trimester or two. IIFT has been reaching out to the developing countries and a sterling example of the

same is the launch of the Executive MBA (IB) programme from Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania in 2003. Now,

IIFT has been called upon by the Government of India to set up an IIFT like Pan-Africa Institution in

Kampala, Uganda.

My best wishes to all who seek excellence.
