Speaking about the slip in the ranking of IIFT, Director Manoj Pant stated that the dip in ranking was due to the fact that the institute was not able to maintain the necessary score in 'Research and Professional Practice and Perception.' He added that the institute had maintained its performance as compared to other parameters. Pant further clarified that the ranking was determined on 2017-18 data. During this period there were only 40 faculty members in two campuses of IIFT. Over the past one year, the institute had hired 15 new faculty members and in the coming days there would be an improvement in the research output.
