Internship Overview

For many of our PGDM students, Summer Internships is the first real time work experience they have. Summer Internships will allow you to apply the skills and lessons learned in a classroom in the real world of business. It also provides an opportunity for students to work in their preferred sector and identify their fit and the work environment in that sector. Internships are a mandatory academic requirement and happens between the term 3 and term 4 break.

“The internships provide an excellent opportunity for the students to put their classroom knowledge into practice. The companies offer real time business relevant projects that adds to the learning experience of our students.”
