Experience on the Essay Writing/Group Discussion/Personal
Interview:
I had got an email from IIFT nearly a month before the Interview
date. I reached IIFT, Delhi Campus by auto well before time. After reaching
IIFT, I was easily able to identify the hall where essay writing was scheduled.
Thanks to the properly marked signage. Essay writing was an easy task. A topic was
written on the board on which the applicants had to write an essay in 200
words.
As soon as everyone finished the essay writing, applicants were
moved to already allocated groups in different discussion/conference halls. A
topic was announced and everyone was given 5 minutes to think. After 5 minutes
the discussion was opened up and everyone started speaking. Some applicants
were very excited and were not allowing others to speak, whereas some of others
were calm and awaiting their turn. I was also waiting for my turn and found a
good moment where I placed my view to the group. After a long discussion of 25
minutes the discussion ended with a conclusion. One of those persons who were
calm was given the opportunity to conclude.
After the GD, we gathered in the common hall to wait for our
turn for the personal interview. One by one the applicants were called for the
interview. My interview went quite smooth. The interview panel asked me for my
job profile and the questions asked in application form were again repeated.
The questions such as why do you want to do this course?, How would this course
benefit you etc. were asked. The panel also checked the job profile and interest
in the programme. After the personal interview we were asked to leave.
The results were declared within 45 days after the interview on
the IIFT website. I was very happy to see my name in the selected participants.
Average count
of selected candidates
Every year nearly 2500 applications are received by IIFT. Out of
these only 10 percent applicants are called for next rounds. The next rounds
are conducted and the final lists usually have only 120 selected participants.
Which is better Delhi or Kolkata?
Delhi Vs Kolkatta
The programme is conducted separately at both the locations.
However, the same process is followed at both locations.
The programme do run from two locations however, the programme
structure for both these location is exactly same. Moreover, the faculty is
also either same or almost similar. Most of the faculties keep flying between
these locations to deliver their course.
Industries
benefited from this course
The programme is on International business. As we all are aware
of almost all organizations in this world are either global or are exposed to
globalization. Therefore, the reach of the course and the skills developed
during the programme definitely are beneficial to all kinds of industries.
However, if we still have to define an industry, then, trade and
export and import houses are the most closely related as one portion of the
course develops the international trade skills in the participants. Now since,
almost all industries are involved in the international business and trade;
therefore, it again concludes that the programme develops skills that help
participants to grow an organization globally. Almost, all the industries are
benefited from this course.

Student Feedback:
This program is
designed with a deep thought process & its focus was not “read & reproduce”
but making ourselves more competitive. The program director & the faculties
allocated to this program had all the real & impressive practical
experience which made the subject more acceptable to us in its theoretical
form. It was real fun when we sat in a virtual class room.
