Hello waitlisters and fresh IIFT converts
Though it is great that you love to clarify your doubts and get the best possible out of the options you have, the method that some of you seem to be following is against the simple ethical norms while commenting on such forums.
Right intent when clubbed with wrong methodology, often leads you downhill and here, when you stand on the precipice of a management career, it can be apt to expect professionalism from you guys.
First, let's not make this a college comparison forum. You're a member of this forum as you have shown interest in pursuing your masters from IIFT. Hence, keep your doubts limited to IIFT and don't state the pros or cons of other b-schools.
Second, as I have reiterated time and again, don't go by hearsay. The past students/alums and current students from IIFT are the ones who will provide you with bonafide info. We have the reviews of several students for your perusal here:
collegebol.com/colleges/indian-institute-of-foreign-trade-kolkata-iift-reviews-1928/
Instead of arguing over half baked statements that are not backed by statistics, try to read these reviews and know more about the school.
Thirdly, as you anxiously wait for the final results, utilize your time wisely. Though all of you won't make it to IIFT, but presuming that you have a decent pedigree, you will eventually make it to a good b-school. From my experience, I would suggest you guys to dabble through MIT OCW/ Coursera.
For economics, finance and the works, use a mix of Khan Academy, Damodaran and investopedia.
Also, for the converts, our clubs have floated assignments on the Facebook group already. Do attempt them.
Let's all try to make the most out of Pagalguy and occupy ourselves in constructive discussions rather than indulge in mud slinging and denigrating X school over a Y school. Think long term. Act mature.

Hi guys ! I am a fresher (Engineering). I'd like to know, especially from current freshers, how is it like to pursue an MBA from IIFT-K. Something about the challenges, ups-downs, oppurtunities and experiences. It will really help people like me (freshers) to take make the right decision. Feel free to answer even if you arent a fresher.
Also do tell how I can prepare myself before joining the B-School (ex: academics)
Thanks !
ps : can one of the admins tell what was last years intake of freshers in IIFT-K (percentage)
I need help in withdrawing from wl. Already sent a mail to Mr. Gaurav Gulati. Nobody at the AO picks up ever. Seniors, what should I do?
I am getting so many query now a days from some of you that
whether to join IIFT K or not.
One of the person has withdrawn from IIM-I, IIM-Shillong and Newer IIMS to join IIFT K.But,I'll have to say that my friend you have taken wrong decision.All these colleges were better than IIFT-K
The placement committee has done really well in distorting the real picture.Congratulation Team:
1) Akshay Gupta & Udit Bhatia are doing great job by leveraging their marketing skills in distorting the facts.Their frustration can be seen in their post when they said that "Dont make this forum for college comparison"
2) But the fact is that many companies shown in the placement report did not recruit a single student from IIFT.
15-16 companies did not recruited a single person . Some of them were H&M , Jabong , Jindal Steel , Delloite , Cargill , Louis Dreyfus .
KPMG offered the same profile that they offer in grad colleges
3)
To all those who are blowing trumpets
about IIFT placements, are they aware about:
1. Tolaram Group, Deloitte, Du Pont, Cargill, Jabong, Zomato and Hennes &
Mauritz AB are mentioned in the placement report but they did not recruit a
single student from IIFT D and K (A few of them reportedly did not shortlist
any guy from K)
4) IIFT K is given a very step brotherly treatment by IIFT D during placements
Despite
whatever you read/hear about "equal opportunities" by placement committee, the
fact remains that these companies will not so much as glance at an IIFT-K
student's CV.
1. Cognizant Business Consulting
2. ITC
3. Mahindra & Mahindra
4. RPG Group
5. Cipla
6. Amazon and many more
5)Placement Committee is also doing an amazing job by talking to various ranking agency and coaching Institute which releases ranking.We are doing an awesome job to place IIFT K at a slightly up position .
We have done deal with Career Launcher.We are having final talks with MBA Club,Business today for negotiations
You can see that how GP used to say in all his articles from 2010 to 2015 that IIFT K ranks lower than NMIMS and Newer IIMS.
And,now he says that IIFT K is better than NMIMS and Newer IIMS
It is matter of money!!!!!
GP 2013: http://www.gpkafunda.com/?p=1489 (CHECK Pratik Sharma Question and response)-
IIFTK GP 2016: http://www.gpkafunda.com/?p=2469 : IIFT
K>NMIMS But the question arises,Why does we do that? Its because when we send invitation to the HR recruiter, we
write that about 40 students have left IIM Udaipur and joined IIFT K ,10 have
left IIM-I and joined IIFT K.So, you will find better talent here.And come and
recruit from IIFT-K The words are not exactly these but we make the message more
crispy and attractive .It is just to show that we have great talent. 6)And last thing, someone sent me a pdf file of separate placement being
circulated by placement committee . That is COMPLETELY FAKE And I am shocked how you guys are believing that pdf.It does not
have IIFT seal,IIFT logo. Neither it is on IIFT Letter head.Anyone can create
such kind of pdfs IIFT never releases a separate placement report for D and K intentionally ATB hope you make a decision that u dont regret later on !! IMO : IIFT Delhi>IIM S NMIMS>New IIMS> IIFT K >Fore,Irma,etc
TIME, Career Launcher, IMS - all put IIFT D and K in the same bracket in terms of ranking.

Can the media committee of IIFT Kolkata state just this one line "We confirm that in last year's placements, there was not a single company which allowed IIFT Delhi campus students to sit, but did not allow IIFT Kolkata campus students".
Asking this for self satisfaction sake, please do not judge. Did anyone from initial IIFT K wait list convert IIFT D? Ps: I was wait listed 1 in IIFT K, just want to know for satisfaction sakes
