Fortune Institute of International Business (FIIB), New Delhi, has been recognised as the “Outstanding Institute in Training and Placements” by the Indian Education Network at the 15th India Education Summit – 2026, held on 7 February 2026 at Le Meridien, New Delhi.
The recognition affirms FIIB’s belief that employability is not a final-year activity, but the outcome of a deliberately designed learning ecosystem—where academic rigor, leadership development, industry exposure, and career preparation work together across the student journey.
Training and Placements as a Learning System, Not an Outcome
At FIIB, training and placements are embedded into the academic experience from the very first term. The institute follows an outcome-driven, capability-building model, ensuring students graduate with conceptual depth, professional confidence, and workplace readiness.
This integrated approach—rather than fragmented interventions—has been central to FIIB’s recognition at the summit.
A Global Milestone: AACSB Accreditation
The award comes alongside another major institutional milestone. FIIB has recently earned the prestigious AACSB International Accreditation, placing it among fewer than 6% of business schools globally, within the top 1% in India, and part of an elite global network of over 1,050 AACSB-accredited institutions.
Together, the AACSB accreditation and the India Education Summit recognition reinforce FIIB’s commitment to global standards, continuous improvement, and industry-aligned education.
