no front end roles offered in investment banking? HUL and TAS not recruiting. Major consulting companies not recruiting. Does not seem to be an excellent placement.

Front end investment banking roles are offered only in IIM A,B,C. TAS also visits only top 5-7 B schools. So considering IIFT's ranking (10-15 range) the placements are very good.

Though FMCG is not one of our strongest areas but international trade is our sweet spot. The last couple of years have witnessed good participation in the finance and E-Com domain, I firmly believe FMCG too will follow the suit.

Every campus has its strengths and weaknesses. The important question to ask always is whether the campus provides enough diverse opportunities to majority of the batch. On that front IIFT is doing well in our opinion.

Indus Valley partners are not a VC/PE firm. They provide IT solutions to hedge funds.
