Message from the DirectorThe Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), which celebrated its Golden Jubilee this year, was established in 1963 by the Government of India, as a core institution for foreign trade related research and training. During its five-decade journey, the Institute has transcended from a foreign trade facilitator to a center of excellence in international trade and business. Today, IIFT has emerged as the only Business School in India to specialize in International Business Education, and is consistently ranked among the top ten business schools of the country.

Driven by a vision to be an academic center of excellence in the area of International Business and a well-networked institution committed towards delivering globally competitive business education, training and research, IIFT offers a bouquet of programmes catering to the requirements of both aspiring business managers and mid-career professionals. These are unique programs designed to prepare executives from the corporate sector for new levels of leadership within their organizations. These programs also offers participants opportunities for growth through the networking and interaction provided by their co-curricular activities, like port visits, and selected guest lectures from invited industry experts and devoted alumni of the institute.

The Executive Post Graduate Diploma in International Business (EPGDIB) has a comprehensive curriculum which, over 18 months, delivers education in contemporary management techniques relevant to international business. The program is rigorous and prepares participants to understand the interrelationships between the diverse and complex tasks of international business. Business executives attending the EPGDIB program are able to gain from improved understanding of various management functions in the context of the current trade and economic issues.

The Executive Post Graduate Diploma in International Marketing (EPGDIM) is an 18-month program designed to groom professionals for marketing of goods and services. EPGDIM pedagogy is built with formal lectures that involve in-depth case studies to help participants to develop insights into effective marketing decisions and strategies to serve their customers effectively. The program is further enriched through interaction with industry professionals, simulation exercises, presentations and group discussions.

The Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Capital and Financial Markets (EPGDCFM) is intended to equip participants with the analytical and intellectual capacity to participate in financial markets. This program acknowledges that globalization of financial markets, international capital flows, and technological advancements have warranted the need for competent financial market professionals. EPGDCFM, also an 18-month program, aims to equip participants with an understanding of global capital and financial markets, including market structure, pricing, risk, competition and financial innovations.

IIFT has constantly achieved excellence, and has diligently responded to changes taking place in the international business arena. It is not surprising that an IIFT degree commands such a high academic rating and also great employment prospects. In the last 50 glorious years of IIFT, numerous bright minds have come here to find wind beneath their wings. These IIFTians have imprinted their rightful niches in the arena of International Business and many more aspire to follow their footsteps. I extend an invitation to you to join IIFT’s executive program and excel.

International Projects Division (IPD) of IIFT has been conceived to internationalize the reach of the Institute to the need of other countries and to work as a catalyst to the Indian Government and corporate sector to deepen its economic relationship with partners in African countries. One of the key objectives of the IPD is to train government officials, diplomats, entrepreneurs, exporters, corporate sector and civil society members to develop broader understanding of issues related to international business and its implications on trade policy. IPD would work towards generating views, opinions, analysis on number of contemporary trade and economic issues which would be of interest to different nations in developing economic relationship with other countries including India.
