IFTM University is a private university in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, whose institutional roots date to 1996. It began as the Institute of Foreign Trade and Management with three programmes and developed into a larger professional-education group before receiving university status through Uttar Pradesh Act No. 24 of 2010. The source workbook preserves the earlier 1996 establishment year, while the university's statutory degree-awarding status dates from 2010. The university is located at Lodhipur Rajput on the Delhi-Lucknow highway outside Moradabad. Its multidisciplinary structure includes engineering and technology, business management, commerce, hotel management, travel and tourism, pharmacy, biotechnology, microbiology, sciences, arts, law, education, journalism and mass communication, social sciences and computer applications. Programmes are offered from diploma through doctoral level, reflecting the widening of the original management-focused institution. IFTM's development is closely associated with professional education in the Moradabad region. The institution expanded from management into technical and scientific areas, built laboratory and campus infrastructure, and reorganized its academic departments as schools after university status. Research, industry interaction and professional preparation became more prominent as postgraduate and doctoral offerings grew. The university operates within the UGC framework and maintains approvals from professional bodies for regulated programmes. Its long pre-university history gives it a different profile from newer private universities established directly by legislation without an earlier college network. The transition in 2010 converted a fourteen-year-old education institution into a multidisciplinary university while preserving its applied professional orientation. Its Moradabad campus continues to combine regional access, professional education and research across a broad academic range. Institutional roots date to the Institute of Foreign Trade and Management founded in 1996. Granted university status by Uttar Pradesh Act No. 24 of 2010. Expanded from management education into a multidisciplinary university. Professional programmes maintain approvals from relevant statutory councils where required.
