Oh no
SO this Friday leaves us waiting more for Monday than the weekend which looks soo long now
Guess a call can be given to them around evening too, just to confirm this.

Yup, I agree with you... I too called the office and they told me to call admissions office on Monday after 10AM...

Please update this if you are under 200 rank in iit Roorkee. It would help us a lot.

Thanks in Advance

just called IIFT........waitlist movement will be known on Monday after 10 AM..!!

All those ppl who are waiting for wait-list movement, stop checking its status after every 5 mins or so. Download some seasons and check for it after 2-3 days:biggrin:. Being selected or rejected is not in ur hand now:sneaky:, atleast u guys wont be unnecessary anxious.

as the date for movement is coming near, these discussions are raising anxiety level to anything.!

Maybe I am wrong.... But I had read in this thread only that there was no waiting list..... only Delhi list and Kolkata list....... and WL 38 means 38 ppl in Kolkata list.....

One of my classmates from school studies at IIFT D. He also told me that 38 additional people were selected besides those from the two lists. He is a pretty reliable person. And besides last year's trend does not have much significance according to me. It all depends on how many people who have converted their calls will be opting out. It may well vary each year.

For people who got thru GMAT... will the fee be returned in case you want to withdraw?

Maybe I am wrong.... But I had read in this thread only that there was no waiting list..... only Delhi list and Kolkata list....... and WL 38 means 38 ppl in Kolkata list.....

Last year there was no separate list for Waiting List students. I guess there were only 2 lists- one for Kolkata and one for Delhi campus. So WL 38 means that around 236 +38 =274 ppl must have made it to Delhi campus.....


i.e. around 274-194= 67 + 13.... Therefore we can expect all kolkata campus students to make it to Delhi campus and 13 wl students to make it to delhi..... But the problem is- that this is not last year.... More is the pity....

you got it wrong buddy...... i think u forgot to count the Kolkata students who got into Delhi.......So its 236+80+38 = 354 students

Could not fathom...what happenend in this calculation!!:sneaky:

A very noble thought, but do you really think that you can control the number or frequency of calls to the IIFT admissions office by requesting the same on pagalguy?

Totally agree with you......But whoever gets some positive news (either tomorrow or a few days later) ....... try to obtain maximum info and share that with the rest of us.

Guess the no was 38 & not 48 :P
Anyway no point in speculating & comparing last year's with this year, that's what I concluded atleast :nono:
Just try to distract yourself for the next 3-4 days

Right it was 38 mentioned by senior.

If last year WL 48 made it to IIFT Delhi, then last year that guy's rank would have been : -

236 (delhi) + 80 (kolkata) + 48 = 364.

So this year's WL will be : -

194 (delhi) + 67 (kolkata) = 261

So WL till 103 have a pretty good chance of making it.

I hope u will be correct..then only i could make it to IIFT Delhi .. :(

I called admissions office. They said to check on Monday or Tuesday.
Par lag rha tha ki he was not sure...generally ek madam uthati hain call...she generally gives correct info.

Also, for the questions asked above....
1) last year...WL#48 got through IIFT Delhi(as per a previous post by senior)
2) Should be approximately (number of seats in Kolkata)+48...i.e 70+48.
(Seniors pls correct if wrong.)

PS--> Just now checked the above suggestions not to call admission office....nahi to aj bhi call nahi karta..

Yep you are right, know these figures for last year (have read complete Last year's thread & done all the possible data interpretation ), but now the focus is back to this year.

Also, it was 48 + 80 (last year's Kolkata calls unlike this year's 67 )

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!

& specially once the movement details are out, everyone will be calling them..guess that's the only way to know! unless we are informed by e-mail from Gaurav Gulati Sir (atleast the converts)

mainakbhowmik Says

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?

With IIFT D my only hope of this season....me too hoping for list on Friday with some good news.

@rahulram, @mainakbhowmik:

even m wid u guys..but with touch and go opportunity for me...

WL #98.

U both will be sure shot convert to IIFT Delhi

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.

anks315 Says

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"

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.

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.
