Summer Internship
The IBA Placement office arranges internships for the final year MBA and BBA students during the summer holidays. The summer internship is a requisite for both the BBA and MBA degrees. The direct MBAs thus gain atleast 6 weeks of job experience while the students going through the BBA/MBA programs gain atleast 12 weeks job experience in qualifying for their degrees.
Students find the summer work experience valuable in testing out what they have learnt at IBA. It gives them practical exposure to the corporate environment and the business scenario. Students come back better equipped to appreciate the later courses in the light of the practical exposure.
Students often base their career decisions on the ‘hands on’ experience they obtain during their internship.
IBA’s internship program works as a liaison with the business and corporate sector. Interns bring useful feedback from the organizations about the quality of the interns and the course material being taught at IBA.
Besides, information is also received by faculty members from the respective supervisors of these intern. On the bases of this information, IBA designs and implements necessary changes.
Organizations find IBA interns productive in carrying out market research projects and feasibility studies besides the daily routine work. They also get an opportunity to evaluate prospective employees.
