From the Head

"To be an Academic Center of Excellence in International Business research, training and education." This is the vision of IIFT, and the ICCD Division was formally set up about 20 years ago to uphold this vision. The objectives of ICCD revolve around enabling IIFT to harness the best practices in Management Education from leading Business Schools through collaborations, joint research and training programs, and exchanges of ideas and resources.

We value our international connections. Through its Accreditation and Ranking activities, ICCD takes up memberships of reputed international organizations in business management, works to obtain coveted accreditations and rankings, and participates in recognized rankings of business schools and universities.
Besides being an AACSB accredited institute, we are active members of global networks like EFMD, AACSB, AMBA and AIB and have student exchange relationships with some of the best B-schools across the globe.

The Division facilitates the IIFT’s global partnerships worldwide through various academic activities, including academic support systems, to ensure a continuous improvement in program design, course design, curriculum review, student engagement and assurance of attainment of course objectives. Reports prepared by the Division provide ongoing feedback to strengthen IIFT’s academic content and delivery and facilitate more meaningful engagements with all the stakeholders.
