I am satisfied with the placement and infrastructure, etc.
Placements: 90% students got placements during their placements programme. The highest package has crossed 50 LPA, the average package was 25-28 LPA, and the lowest package was below 20 LPA. Top recruiting companies that offered jobs are Deloitte, JP Morgan, Amazon, etc. Top roles are export-import manager, global supply chain manager, trade and policy consultant, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are also modern. Classrooms, library, and labs are also very good, and in every class, air conditioning and a projector are available. The quality of food is good. Hostel facilities are separate for boys and girls. Sports and recreation facilities are also available.
Faculty: There are highly experienced teachers in trade, economics, finance, and marketing. Teachers are well qualified and well-behaved with all students. The curriculum is industry-oriented with a focus on global trade and WTO regulations, etc. Semester exams are a little tough, and passing both exams (external and internal) is different.

I am dissatisfied with the nature of teachers and the infrastructure of classrooms.
Placements: There are some issues in internships and a placement cell. Companies come to our college but few students get selected for their interviews. They don't get the highest packages of above 5 LPA, and they don't give us top companies. Some students get placed in MNCs at the state level but not at the central level, which is disappointing in my college.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connectivity and my department is not good. In labs, there are falls of air conditioning. In the labs, there are two laptops for PCs and they don't work. The library of my college is good or not excellent. The food available in my college is good. The food items and the menu of my college canteen are limited.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful but they don't take classes and they avoid teaching us. Teachers only want assignments and projects except for these things they don't give marks. Activities are going on in my college and the teachers don't teach like this, which makes students industry-ready. So semester exams are hard. The pass percentage of a student is about 75%. Teachers are qualified but not good in nature.
Other: Fests are not conducted in my college. The campus surroundings are good.

Faculty: The teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of our faculty members was extremely good. The course curriculum was relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester examinations depended upon students’ preparation. Around 85 percent of students passed the semester exam.

It is one of the best B-schools in India.
Placements: Top companies like JPMC, HSBC, and Godrej hire students from the college. It provides 100% placements and great mentorship from alumni. Students often find the case-based teaching method and project-oriented assessment quite engaging. The institute also encourages research and participation in national and international competitions and conferences.
Infrastructure: It is located in the business hub of Salt Lake. IIFT Kolkata campus is compact but well-equipped. It offers all essential facilities like a well-stocked library, computer labs, Bloomberg terminals, and high-speed internet. While it may not be a sprawling green campus like some other institutes, it makes up with efficient infrastructure and proximity to the city's commercial centers, which help students in terms of guest lectures, industry exposure, and live projects.
Faculty: The core strength of IIFT, Kolkata lies in its rigorous and well-structured curriculum, with a unique focus on International Business (IB). The MBA (IB) program is designed to equip students with a global perspective and deep insights into trade, finance, marketing, and strategy. The academic structure is fast-paced, with trimester systems and a variety of core and elective subjects. Faculty members come with strong academic and industry backgrounds. Several visiting professors also add to the richness of the learning experience.

Higher grade college in Kolkata.
Placements: Campus students grabbed unimaginable offers which would be between 4.3 Lacs to 26.7 Lacs for an year. Also active support given for students who are planned to start new ventures in future. Most specially they initiated their support to entrepreneurs by giving some worthy contact cars.
Infrastructure: Campus located with the acres of ground which were more spacious and relaxing. All the juniors, Seniors were more friendly, supportive and encouraging like the teachers. And chances for ragging, harassment was literally zero percentage. Uninterrupted network connectivity inserted in the campus.
Faculty: Our college initiated diverse courses in multiple disciplines. Textbooks are provided by the college itself by collection some extra charges. Mostly we forced to take test in multiple choice questions thrice in a week. This tests the understanding capacity of the students.
