I think it will be better if only one or two of us calls up the admissions office on Friday. Otherwise the persons out there may get irritated. Know this wont be liked by many people in the waitlist, but just stated my personal opinion. I will be calling up and updating the status out here. Any one of you may confirm later on from the admissions office. What do you think of the proposal?

Sure! Waiting for your Update then.Please post on PG.

But also do ask for/Anyone who calls:
1. Last WL/Kolkata # to make it to Delhi List, 2. Last WL # to make it to Kolkata & 3. Any possibility of movement beyond 200? This should clear the overall picture of the movement & please do share it here!

mainakbhowmik Says

A person from the admissions office told me that we would be getting to know the first movement around Friday. So I dont think they are allowing any grace time....my personal opinion though. I am worried about D. some of my friends who have converted their IIM calls were placed below me in the waitlist. Hope there are not many more such cases

I am very much with you on this boat bro! My waitlist no. is 64 and I'm pretty scared as to what might happen.

me too got a call from credila but they said they are offering at 12.25% with no security.They also told me that they can sanction in 3-4 days.if any body can suggest another lender pls suggest..

IIFT does feature in the A-list of all the nationalised banks (SBI, BoI, Syndicate Bank etc.). You should get a loan from them without any collateral. Their rates are around 11pc. Go to them individually and enquire. The loan typically gets approved in 1-2 days. They even give loan for the foreign exchange programs.

Private banks may have many processing fees and hidden charges. My personal opinion is to go for a nationalised bank. The bank executive might not come to your doorstep, but you will be saved of lots unforeseen troubles later on.

I have never posted here. I have just one query. nothing complex.
i am no. 24 on the Wait List. What are my chances of converting Delhi?
i will be confirming my admission when the date for the submission of the first installment comes along.
there's a lot of ambiguity on the spreadsheet and too few people have actually posted. So this is my concern to the seniors on this thread, what in your opinion, because understably you can't give me a categorical answer to this, are my chances for delhi?

What i have seen from last years' posts in pagalguy, u will get convert in 1st list itself for Delhi.

And barring some results to be out this year (IIM Indore, Kozhikode and new Ones and FMS), if not 1st list, u will definitely make it to the 2nd list.

All d best

Officially yes! but I heard IIFT allows some grace time too? Is that true?
Anyway hoping we get to know about the 1st WL movement by Friday itself, else the long weekend again

SBI provides loan at 12% but yes, they may take longer in sanctioning the loan.
To know more details, search for SBI scholar loan on SBI's official site.

Hi Seniors,

How can we apply for a withdrawl of the fee paid and how much time does it generally take to get the money back?


Thanks in advance!

You will have to send the written application and the acknowledgement slip, which you will receive shortly. It can take anywhere between 10 to 30 days.

From this year onwards, SBI has raised the upper limit for the loan amount for IIFT students to 15L without any collateral. These details are still not on the site but was confirmed by a fellow IIFT convert (who is an SBI employee) on the FB group of IIFT 2012-14 Converts.

Thanks buddy..I guess I missed that post!

@seniors,
i was going through the placement reports (one of the most diversified & balanced nature i must say) and so now i am keen to know what is the nature of job in:
1) supply chain and operations.
2) consulting profiles.

thanks in advance"
:-)

@seniors,
may sound weird,
if someone has an experience of 3 years in the power sector (hydropower), and he is so passionate to get into a sales/marketing/consulting job after his MBA(IB) from iift, how much tough the road ahead lies for him?
is he considered eligible by the recruiters?

thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone

I had a query regarding the loan application. As the fees this year has increased significantly compared to last year, some of us will face difficulty in arranging the excess money. Has anyone requested or discussed the possibility of an increase in maximum loan amount without collateral from any of the lenders (SBI, Credila etc)??

Hi All,

I have paid the 10k DD for IIFT. W/L at 64 and possible the only institute I'm considering. When will I know of my status with regard confirmed admission?

I called up the IIFT D admissions office. The person at the other end of the line told me that we have to call up at around 27th April to know our status. You can also get to know if your DD has reached the office.

Brandwagon - The Marketing Club of IIFT released one of the best editions of its magazine- Markmantra as its April issue.

Was just going through some PG threads...thread of all the colleges like TISS, etc seem to have posted lot of photos. But for IIFT, there are no photos on PG and only few are there on Google Images as well.

Is there no one interested in photography(serious or amateur) at IIFT....ya fir itni padhai hai ki log chen nahi le pate?? :)

sab jagah sirf wo stairs ya gole k charo taraf khade bando ka hi photo dikhta hai..

I personally don't have a huge collection of the pics, but posted a few of them on the FB grp. If you haven't joined the grp yet, do so right away. :)

As the last day for the submission of first installment fee for the people who converted is 25th April, you can expect the first movement to be taking place within a week. But no idea about when will you convert your waitlist.

-1 to your waitlist number. Will not be taking IIFT D (gen) seat.
For now have some other converts and considering those.
Thanks a lot IIFT for considering me.

managed to stop my courier from getting delivered to iift delhi and also saved the time ot would have taken to get the refund. joining xlri-bm so waitlist moves by 1 more. had a iift-d convert from gen category.

wud a PC serve the purpose in IIFT instead of a laptop?

No, you have to have a laptop while you join IIFT as online quizzes are taken in classes. SO PC's won't serve the purpose.

hi friends...nice initiative to start such a thread and bring together future iiftians....i hope i am one of them.....anyway coming to my query i want to know whether working with my father will be counted as a work ex....i was working with earth infrastructure but now wants to join my father business and i will be handling a complete corrugated box manufacturing unit...i want to enquire whether it will be counted as a full time work ex or not.....

i know this might not be the appropriate thread to ask such question but your feedback is of utmost importance for me.....thanks in advance

If it's a legally registered company and you can provide a relevant work ex certificate with salary slips then yes, it can be counted as a full time work-ex.

I have some query in filling the forms to be sent to confirm the admission....very much confused

Annexure III and IV: Affidavits
Do we need to sign twice in the single sheet? (Affidavit by student: Do I need to sign twice?)
Do we need to get the signature of Commissioner (under Oath Commissioner)?
Can I use the same Affidavit forms sent by the college for filling or do I need to get it re-typed?

Waiting for atleast a reply....

Thanks.

Yes U need to sign twice in the single sheet..
Oath Commissioner is a kind of notary which u can find in abundance outside a court.
I would suggest not to use the same form as the soft copy of same is available with the notary.. He will just fill ur name and other details and get a print on a stamp paper..Which u ll hav to get signed by a oath commissioner... To give u an idea, I paid Rs.50 per affidavit.

For the comprehensive viva at the end of the first year, the syllabus includes all the subjects of 3 trimesters and similarly for the comprehensive viva at the end of the second year, the syllabus includes all the subjects of all 6 trimesters.

and i thought i was done with grand vivas..........grrr

Seniors,

At the end of the third trimester, there is a "Comprehensive Viva". Is it a Viva of only the third trimester subjects or ALL subjects of the first year?
Similarly, for the Comprehensive Viva at the end of the sixth trimester, do we need to prepare the FULL 2 year syllabus?

Thanks in advance!

Seniors, as of now, is there any chance of a second wait list coming out? I do not have any desirable converts and a place in the second list (if any) is the only thing left in the name of hope.

last year there was another waitlist, this year...let us see!!

and dont loose hopes dude!!

Going by the last year's trend the Wait list went beyond 200.But again it all depends on how many converts overlap with other calls.
If IIFT has given a WL of 200, that gives more hopes than had it been some lesser number. Hope the picture gets clearer by month end after the 1st fee deadline!

@seniors,
are there any sports club in kolkata campus? Are athletic events like sprint or marathon organized on sports day etc??
for sports persons, are there any extra-co-curricular happening around??
:-)

Yeah, the Kolkata campus has its sports fest too, 'Titanomachy'. there are sports like cricket, football, table tennis etc...

I will be cancelling my admission to IIFT once I get my I-20 and visa approved

As all the major IIM's have come out with their results, I have created the poll as asked to do so by many of you. DO vote as this will help the people in the waitlist.

Don't worry. They send the offer letter 2 times- one by speed post and the other by registered post. The one that you received today may be got a bit delayed.
