IIFT Entrance Exam 2025

The IIFT entrance exam 2025 has been cancelled out by the official authorities of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) itself. However, the registration process has started since 17^th October 2024. The IIFT will accept only CAT exam scores for admission in 2025 and in the future. The last date to apply for IIFT admission is November 22nd 2024. 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.
