Kakinada Campus ≠ Delhi Campus
This MBA-IB runs at IIFT's Kakinada campus, not the Delhi HQ. The degree carries the same national brand, but peer mix, city exposure, and recruiter footfall may differ from the main campus. A campus visit is highly recommended before you commit.
The verdict
Worth considering
IIFT's brand pull and 95% placement rate hit different, but this is the Kakinada campus—not Delhi. With total fees at ₹18L matching the average CTC, early ROI is basically 1:1. It's a smart pick if you're laser-focused on International Business and okay with a smaller, growing campus. Just verify Kakinada-specific outcomes directly with admissions since verified public data is still thin.
