There are times when the fables you've only heard since come true and you pinch yourself till you know it's real. Fearing the risk of being called an exaggerator, that's how I recall my internship days. Shortly you will know why.
(This story is an entry for the Summer Internship Saga Contest)
This is a 48-student batch. The breadth of opportunities for this batch is quite interesting. Sales and Marketing, and Consulting seem to be the most popular domains - each of them accounting for a third of all graduates. At the outset, we must mention that our knowledge about this programme and its placements is relatively low because of its short history and lack of our network. However, we have received many queries regarding the placements for this programme and we are happy to report it in our format. We have done as much as we could to verify information. But, potential applicants and recruiters are advised to dig deeper and get as much information as possible first hand. We can confirm that the career services centre of the parent campus does not actively help either the PGP at UAE or PGP at Mumbai programme students. There are independent committees at work at both these campuses. A Corporate Resource Manager has been appointed who also looks at placements. IIM Indore is associated with the Higher College of Technology which is very influential in the region. Also, please confirm with students studying at UAE if there are any companies mentioned here that made offers outside the institute’s placement process.
The field of Human Resources is one that offers a wealth of opportunities within every business sector. HR professionals are an integral part of any successful organization and are often involved in the execution of significant business change. With the emergence of HR roles in almost every sector, this field is often sought after by many MBA graduates who want the opportunity to liaise with the senior management on a daily basis to co-ordinate their organization’s running.
