IIFT: This institute is a good option for people who wish to get into International business. I can any day prefer IIFT over the new IIMs.

Firstly your undergraduate degree is completely irrelevant to the MBA degree you intend to pursue, as the two are poles apart. So, the choice of college will depend on the specialization you want to pursue in management.
Secondly, both colleges are regarded as excellent Tier 1 colleges in India and generally among the top 20 B-schools in India. Having said that, the only thing that separates them is the course they offer and what you want to choose and pursue.
In addition to having two campuses, IIFT offers a specialized international business degree that is not provided by other top-tier business schools.
In contrast, SIBM Pune offers a legitimate General Management program, just like the other Top B-schools. Below is a table comparing the two colleges in different aspects;

It's important to research the institution's alum base, the profiles offered during placement, the corporate competitions won by the business school, and the brands that frequently visit for recruitment when you are considering a suitable college for an MBA in international business.
In terms of IIFT, it is considered a niche college for international business. However, it's important to keep in mind that the competition for admission is very tough compared to the Delhi School of Economics. It's important to keep in mind that DSE and IIFT are not in the same league. It's important for you to conduct your research and weigh your options before making a decision.
IIFT is an excellent institution not particularly in India but also in Asia. It is a 55-year-old institution under the ministry of commerce and has the best to offer in areas of International Business and Foreign trade. ISB is quite reputed among students. The global ranking is the selling point and XLRI carries class and quality. It depends on what specialization you want to choose.
