ArpitKul @all, A few corrections. Hope this will explain the Major/Minor concept
1)Trade,Fin, Marktng, IT and Ops: Each of these domains has some subjects offered as core subjects(compulsory) and some as electives in 2nd year.
2) The no. of subjects/credits that you choose as electives from any of the above 5 domains determines your Major/Minor. For ex, a person going for dual majors can choose 4 marktng+ 4 trade electives. A person going for a major and dual minors can go for 4+2+2, 4 from major waala domain and 2+2 from each minor waala domain.
3)The actual domain in which a major should be offered depends on the interest of the batch, our senior batch did not have Ops major while we pushed hard for the same. It also depends on whether the electives offered are being taken by sufficient no. of students. Since each subject is taught by a specialized faculty, the admin wants to avoid a situation when there are only 4-5 students studying in a class.
So, in essence, there is nothing fixed such as Trade is a minor or Fin is a major. It all depends on the interest of the batch and the numbers for each elective/domain.

ArpitKul As long as there is a minimum no. of students interesting in taking a subject/domain(the exact no. is fixed by admin), that particular subject will be offered and the students will be able to choose a minor accordingly.

16 Apr

After reading for around 30 mins. I decided to post some information:

1. I am seriously disappointed the way seniors ( as they claim) are coming and commenting on public forum since the day results have been announced. On the results day a senior (not to name) comes and says I think there will be no wait list this year as IIFT has given buffer calls. After googling I found the respected senior him self was wait listed around 50 in last years result and got in to Delhi campus and around 15 more after his rank got in Delhi campus and entire Kolkata campus was filled afterwards. So a complete demotivating comment it was.

2. Today I saw some one again claiming him self as senior and replied to a guy with W/L 35 you have almost zero chances for Delhi campus and heated argument was there over number of seats and planned in take. Some one has rightly said last year planned in take was only 240 (180 Delhi and 60 Kolkata) Total calls given were (195+67 = 262). Now to those who are claiming planned intake is 280 since the beginning " I have not seen a single college giving less number of calls than planned intake in first list and releasing a list of 200 W/L candidates". Last year planned intake was 240 and 22 were the buffer calls.

3. Now this year as in year 2011-13 the planned intake in 281 (210 Delhi and 71 Kolkata) as mentioned by IIFT in RTI reply. There is an increase of 40 seats which will surely have impact on W/L movement. Also please read the below forum reply 966. A guy who was not in any of the List and wait listed around 30+ got a final Delhi convert. So all those who have W/L number below 50 have fair chances for Delhi campus.

ArpitKul @rokhat Since your 2nd point is directed towards my discussion with @pankajkute83 , I believe I should clarify some things.
1)Never did I say that a guy with WL 34/35 has a zero chance of Delhi convert, my words were " borderline case" and that, dear friend, does not mean zero chances, it means 50-50 chances. As I said earlier, the aim is not to demotivate, its just to keep hopes realistic. The point is that no one can predict the overlaps and hence no one can say whether WL will stop at 30 or go till 60.
2) Nowhere do we(current students), claim to be seniors. We just claim to be what we are,"current students of IIFT". Kindly go through the post I made yesterday if you want a proof.
3) We get as much info from the admin as you get, sometimes even less coz they say it doesn't concern us. Do not forget that this is a sarkaari college. As for the intake and seats issue, NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE can give a conclusive answer, neither the aspirants, nor the current students.
4)Request to all, for all genuine queries, please use the FB group. It is much easier for us to manage and answer queries there, and do bear with the delay coz of our ongoing internships.
Having been in the exact same place last year( regarding WL), I do understand the anxiety and it is the only reason I volunteered to reply on this forum. The intention, I repeat, is not to demotivate anyone. ATB everyone.
