hey Piyu and all u IIFT aspirants..!
sm1 asked abt the stufs asked in the Interview and all..
two questions tht are almost sure are : Why IIFT ? and Why International Business?
there's a myth tht " IIFT specializes in Foreign Trade "..
No...At, IIFT , Int'l Business isnt a specialization..Rather its a "perspective"...it is because wtever u study at IIFT, u wl hve to study its International Aspects also..( and of course, the conventional mba subjects too)
fr instance, if u study Marketing...then u also hve a buk on " International Marketing"..
so thts wt gves IIFT an edge over the others !
so keep ths important point in mind esp fr the pi and all..
Hope it helps !

IIFT's GK is more of a Business Awareness..so i wud suggest u all tht u start reading may be ET or Business Standard coz tht gves u all the latest happenings in the Corporate World and also stuffs related to Imports- Exports ( Read Exim Policy etc ) , Thngs abt sm major organizations...and WTO affairs etc.., abt prominent ppl in Int'l Business.
cos GK is smthng whr u cn gt an edge if u r in a habit of reading thngs lke ths !
But make sure u go thru Exim Policy cos u wl surely hve 2-3 quest abt tht !
and sm quest abt WTO meet to be held in HK in December 2005
Any help regarding ths is welcomed by Varun, Me and all other IIFTians !
