Xavier School of Management, set a new record this year after it completed its Summer Internship Placement Process (SIP) of 2017 in just two days.

The summer internship process makes each of us believe in ourselves a little more or lesser depending on the outcome of it. The process is after all extremely grueling and much more than a test of mere wit. According to me, it involves luck, confidence, networking, communication skills, and various other factors. The final outcome is still sometimes beyond reason and understanding.
With summer placements right around the corner, in this article, I will be discussing my interview experience with a few takeaways for preparation.
On 12th June 2017 at 9.00 AM IST, 19 freshly out MBA graduates were standing shocked inside the security office at the main entrance of Capgemini financial district campus in Hyderabad. A group of 10-15 people including the E.L.I.T.E. core team was there to welcome them. The ID cards were ready. The training room was open with the E.L.I.T.E. welcome kit on the assigned desks. It also included our business cards-the highlight of the day for me. The joining paperwork was quickly done. By afternoon we had our laptops with us. The day ended with welcome dinner at The Hyatt where we got an opportunity to interact with seniors and leaders. What a welcome! What followed was a 5-week onboarding process which was enriching, exciting, overwhelming and fun.
