IIFT is highly regarded among students pursuing careers in international business, consulting, and trade. The institute offers excellent ROI with strong placements. Students particularly value the specialized curriculum in international trade, foreign language training, and the government institution tag. However, some note infrastructure limitations and the intense academic schedule. Overall considered a top-tier B-school after the old IIMs.
