Does IIFT Kolkata consider past academic records?
IIFT Kolkata selection criteria don’t assign specific weightage to past academics. The institute allows students with more than 60% marks (general category) to apply. However, having a good academic record will certainly elevate the chances of getting shortlisted. Students with mediocre academics and overall good profiles with different achievements and extracurricular activities, also have a good chance of getting a shortlist.
