The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) does not provide counseling but rather conducts personality assessments for students who have been selected for admission to its MBA in International Business program. The personality assessment involves the following:
- Essay Writing (EW)
- Group Discussion (GD) and
- Personal Interview (PI)
After Results
- Candidates will be shortlisted for WAT-GD/Extempore-PI in the first round based on their performance in the IIFT entrance exam as well as sectional cut-off scores. The number of candidates to be shortlisted along with the number of seats available determines the minimal cut-off percentile. The cut-off scores for female candidates in all categories are two points lower than the actual cut-off based on IIFT's gender diversity policy.
