“May joy and good fellowship reign, and in this manner, may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and purer. “
Today, we bring to you the summer internship selection process experience of Utsav Kumar, Class 2015-2017, IIM Lucknow. He did his summer internship with McKinsey. He shares his interview process and a basic consulting preparation guideline.
I did my summer internship with Marico in the Supply Chain function. The internship officially kicked off with me getting a mail from the HR regarding the project details and the location. My location was the corporate office in Mumbai for two complete months. Along with the above, I also received the details of a market visit that every intern in Marico is supposed to undergo before joining.

People are not to be blamed for becoming so dicey on the jobs that they would take up. The gamut of opportunities would turn out to be too attractive to be ignored. Thus, Talent mobility in the next decade with the globally connected workspace would set the world stage for the competitive spirits to display their expertise in varied fields. The workforce in turn would have some of the qualities that will set them apart from the present scenario.
You see them roaming around in the campus and they seem to fit in so well with the normal junta. But wait until you hear their stories and you realize that they are the ones bringing in the real diversity to the campus.
So you received that much awaited admit letter from the B-school of your choice! Huge pat on the back and time to get ready for the ride of a lifetime – yes, you will cherish the time spent there. But are there things you should know before you enter the portals of a B-school and are hit by the workload of case studies and myriad assignments? A little prep along the following themes may go a long way:
