CHECKOUT IMPORTANT DATES
The IIFT entrance exam 2024 has been cancelled out by the official authorities of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) itself. However, the registration process has started since 27th October 2023. The IIFT will accept only CAT exam scores for admission in 2024 and in the future. The last date to apply for IIFT admission is December 6th 2023. The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) is a premier business school in India (specializes in International Business Management) and usually conducts the entrance exam for admission to its MBA (International Business) program.
The primary reason for the cancellation is the decision to switch to CAT scores for admission to IIFT's MBA programs. This change was made to reduce the exam burden on candidates, as preparing for multiple entrance exams can be stressful and time-consuming. Additionally, CAT is a well-established and widely taken exam, with several mock tests and resources available for practice, making it more familiar and comfortable for aspirants.
