This new Dubai campus marks the institute’s first venture outside India since it was established in 1963. IIFT currently operates from two main campuses in Delhi and Kolkata, where it offers specialized postgraduate and doctoral programs in international business, trade policy, and economics.
The decision to establish a comprehensive overseas center in Dubai has received the green light from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of External Affairs, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the University Grants Commission (UGC).
IIFT provides a variety of programs, including its flagship MBA in International Business, an MA in Economics with a focus on Trade and Finance, Executive Diploma programs for working professionals, and opportunities for doctoral research. Admission to these courses is mainly determined by competitive entrance exams like the IIFT MBA entrance test, followed by group discussions and personal interviews.
With the launch of its Dubai campus, IIFT is set to bring the same level of academic excellence and research dedication to a broader international audience. This new facility aims to serve not only global learners but also the Indian community living in the Gulf region, according to a statement from the Ministry. fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg gfgf hg gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh hg hg hg hg hg gh hg hg

He pointed out that this expansion is in line with India’s larger vision of merging education with strategic diplomacy. fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg gfgf hg gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
