If I go for IIFT Kolkata instead of IIFT Delhi, will it make a difference in quality of education and my placements?
No. Minimal difference exists when it comes to placements, but nothing changes when the quality of education is talked about.IIFT Delhi and Kolkata are sister campuses and not separate branches like IIMs are. You will be taught by common professors, get the same degree upon graduating. Both campuses go through the same academic rigor, led by the common administration. Even the competitions open for IIFT Delhi are inherently open for the Kolkata campus as well.
Placements are common, the administration is common, Kolkata has a better infrastructure, they have the same academic rigor in both the campuses, the competitions open for IIFT Delhi is automatically open for Kolkata as well, even if it is written IIFT Delhi in the eligibility criteria of the Corporate competitions.

Though the placements are common for both the campuses, I have heard that a few companies consider only IIFT Delhi students. You may even face some discrimination outside your campus life, as people are not fully aware of the IIFT structure. Some think that IIFT Delhi and Kolkata are different B Schools operating independently, thus creating the ground for inequity.
Hence, IIFT Kolkata is not a bad choice, but IIFT Delhi has certain privileges. In case you convert to IIFT Kolkata, you will enjoy the common perks as well.
Comments
There is no such difference between IIFT Kolkata and IIFT Delhi. Both placements and administration are common, but Kolkata has a better infrastructure than Delhi.
The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.
Admission:
- Both colleges have the same entrance test examination cut off.
- Campuses are allotted on the basis of the preference list ordered by the final merit number generated taking GDPI process into account.
Campus:
- The IIFT Delhi and the IIFT Kolkata are sister campuses and not separate branches like the IIMs.
- The student will also get the same degree after graduating from any of the IIFT.
Since not many people are aware of the existence of IIFT, you may face some discrimination outside your B-School.
IIFT Delhi and IIFT Kolkata have the same academic precision on the campus. The competitions that are open for IIFT Delhi are open for Kolkata as well even if it is written IIFT Delhi in the eligibility criteria of the competitions.
