The Summer Internship Program is meant to bridge the gap between the real-life business and academic institutions.

It is a simulation of the business environment and enables students to experience the rigors of a business organization.

The objectives of Summer Internship include-

To provide students a platform to network which will be useful to further their career prospects

To provide students with opportunities to apply the concepts learnt in the class-room to real-life situations

To sensitize students to the nuances of a work place by assigning time-bound projects in a company

The Summer Internship Program emphasizes the evaluation of the student’s work at the work center with active involvement of the senior management.

As a course requirement, every PGP student of IIM Calcutta is expected to complete an 8-week industry internship in the summer between the first and second year of the course.

The summer placement process is held to facilitate these internships for the students.

Most firms offer students full-time positions based on the internships (pre-placement offers).

The summer internship process gains importance as many firms hire on a strict PPO policy – they hire interns and after evaluating their work for the two months, make them a pre-placement offer (PPO).

Most of these firms then do not hire from campuses during final placements.
