From the Director

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.
