INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

IoBM makes efforts to help students get some experience in highly competitive organizations. Their fresh ideas, unique perspectives and fundamental knowledge are important assets that can help shape the future of an organization. The Internship Program for interns is designed to provide students with the opportunity to work on meaningful assignments and gain real-world experience. Real-world experience is aligned to the courses studied by students. Such experience is of vital importance to students in two main areas:

  1. Gain Valuable Work Experience in the Chosen Field of Interest
    An internship is a great way to gain hands on work experience, develop specific skills and knowledge as well as to network with people from the students’ chosen field. Moreover, employers assess the skills and abilities of prospective employees by evaluating their previous experience. Students pursue career-related opportunities prior to graduation, thereby, obtaining an edge over other candidates in the competitive job market.

  2. Decide on Right Careers Prior to Graduation
    An internship provides a more accurate picture of what individuals do in certain professions. After experiencing a particular job environment and observing what it entails, students may decide if this is the right career for them.

The internship is compulsory for all MBA, BBA, and BS final year students, and has a minimum duration of six consecutive weeks.

Executive students are exempted from the internship program.
