One of the key elements of B-school learning is the summer internship program – an opportunity which gives you a sneak-peak into the management-facing corporate world and prepares you for the future ahead.
‘A 173 year old legacy’, ‘#11 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work’, ‘Big Four’ – these were some of the fluttering thoughts in my head as I sat inside the swanky Deloitte University at Hyderabad in a room with over 100 other B-school counterparts from across the country, waiting for my internship journey to commence.

I was selected to be a part of Capgemini’s coveted Chrysalis Summer Internship Programme 2018. Being one of the most sought-after companies in the campus, I was looking forward to the company’s visit. Preparation strategy for the interview involved numerous activities. Firstly, one needs to be up to date with regard to latest events especially in your area, HR in my case. Take out time to read newspapers, journals and magazines regularly.
