One of the most pressing matters for any MBA student is being able to receive a good return on investment, both in terms of money and time.

Since placement reports usually provide limited salary data, we made use of the extensive InsideIIM Recruitment Survey to dive deeper into the kind of salaries that students realistically expect in their first post-MBA jobs.
In a time when multiple summer internships were revoked by organizations after organizations, some companies did make sure that the promises were kept and the students received a very different internship this year around.

While Sanjana Singh bagged an internship with the Outlook group, Ashima Shafiq cracked an internship at Bata and Anush Mehra at CRISIL. Following is the excerpt of the interview.
