These initiatives are in the area of course curriculum redesign, introduction of new electives, examination and marking system, and international faculty. The new session for MBA students begins on July 2.
IIFT director K T Chacko told MBAUniverse.com: This year we have introduced new compulsory courses like Small Enterprise System, Indian Economy and new electives like Infrastructure Financing.
Small Enterprise System is aimed to develop entrepreneurial skills. Said Mr Chacko, Through this program we will equip students with the necessary skills to take risks and become entrepreneurs. The Indian Economy course has been introduced to provide an overall business and economy perspective to new students. It will provide overall perspective about the importance of various sectors of the economy and relate each of these sectors to their importance and growth potential in Indias foreign trade.
IIFT is also inviting Professors from a Paris-based business school to teach three marketing courses. It is also moving to a percentile system of grades awarded to students and is abolishing the system of supplementary examination.
With the rising important of foreign language skills, the International Business Language course will now be a credit course in the MBA (part-time) program. Commenting on this, Mr Chacko said, Senior executives enrolled in the program travel widely and communicate with international clients which takes up a large part of their working time.
As a run-up to the new session, keeping in mind the importance of IT in management, the students are offered introductory courses in computers and IT as prior preparation for the program.
The size of the new batches at IIFT remains the same as last year. The full-time MBA program has an intake of 120 in Delhi and 60 in Kolkata; the part-time MBA has 60 students in Delhi and 60 in Kolkata.
IIFT was set up in 1963 by the Government of India as an autonomous institute to help professionalize the countrys foreign trade management and increase exports by developing human resources; generating, analyzing and disseminating data; and conducting research.
