IIFT has closed the last date to apply for IIFT MBA (IB) 2020 entrance exam. The last date to submit online application for IIFT 2020 MBA (IB) admission test was extended to November 3, 2019 from earlier October 25, 2019. However, the candidates who have registered till 11.50 PM on Nov 3, 2019 can make successful final transaction of registration fee payment till November 4, 2019.
IIFT 2020 MBA (IB) entrance exam date is December 1, 2019. For the first time IIFT entrance test will be held as computer based test. The IIFT exam 2020 Registration & Application Fee is Rs.2000/- which should be paid online only. Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) MBA Admission Test-2020 will be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) for the first time and not by IIFT. The IIFT Exam Registration for MBA (IB) admission 2020 can be done at NTA IIFT website. The Registration process for IIFT exam had started on September 9, 2019. It is unlikely that the National Testing Agency (NTA) would extend the last date to apply for IIFT MBA(IB) entrance exam any further from Nov 3. Earlier the last date to apply for MBA (IB) 2020-22 batch at Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) was October 25, 2019 till midnight.
IIFT entrance exam score is accepted by Indian Institute of Foreign Trade for MBA (IB) admission in its three campuses - Delhi, Kolkata and Kakinada. MBA (International Business) at IIFT is the flagship 2 years full time program. It is considered as one of the best MBA programs with 100% placement and good exposure to international business.
NTA will conduct IIFT 2020 MBA (IB) entrance test as a computer based exam this year. The Director of IIFT Prof Manoj Pant had already confirmed to MBAUniverse.com that IIFT 2020 MBA entrance test will be a computer based test instead of paper based test. The IIFT registration 2020 process is available at NTA website instead of IIFT admission website from September 9, 2019 to October 25, 2019. The IIFT 2019 exam date will lead to IIFT 2020 admission and therefore the IIFT entrance exam is more prominently known as IIFT 2020 instead of IIFT 2019, although the IIFT exam will be held in 2019.
Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) used to conduct IIFT admission Test annually for admission to its flagship MBA (IB) programme offered at its three campuses located at Delhi, Kolkata and Kakinada (AP). However, now the responsibility to conduct IIFT exam from this year has been assigned to National Testing Agency which will also conduct CMAT 2020 exam of AICTE.
