Share Your Internship Experiences And Win Prizes Worth Rs 60,000 - Summer Saga 2019

Hello Class of 2020, Summer is almost over. It's time for the rains. And it's raining opportunities! How? A lot of you have assumed roles of Rocket Singh to Harvey Specter to Chandler Bing. Maybe even Tyrion Lannister!? :) Especially in the last two months of your summer internship. And now since it's coming to an end, we have another role and offer for you. You can assume the role of a Mentor you wished you had! Interested? Read more... From the preparation for the summer placements to the 8 weeks of your internship, the experiences have just made you a stronger professional. But your experience doesn't need to end with your internship. After all, the end of your internship is just the beginning of your stellar career. It may include PPOs or not. It may include international work destinations. It may include fancy pay packages at the end of your 2-year MBA. Or it may include life lessons. We urge you to share it all with us and with our readers - your mentees and peers. What are we talking about? Here's a chance to share your internship story with your 'mentees.' InsideIIM provides you with a perfect platform to chronicle your learnings, declare your love, your highs and your lows, and everything in between. And if your story gets universal acclaim and is selected by our judges (campus recruitment managers from various companies), you get rewarded too! Not only do you assume the role of a mentor but you can also win prizes for the same! And also, here's a chance to make a public declaration of your love (maybe hate?) for the company you interned with and your mentor. After all, what's love/hate if you can't tell the world about it?
