Placements

Mentorship Programme

Placements form an integral part of B-schoollife and the first time that one gets to experience the whirlwind experience is during the Summer Placements. It is crucial for any future manager as it is an excellent opportunity to work in the corporate sector, decide on one’s career path and make a smooth transition from academic life to life as managers and leaders. While being a great opportunity it is also a great challenge for them.

At IIM Calcutta, the culture is one of knowledge sharing and mentorship. As such, every year, the second year students of the Institute organize a mentorship programme for the first year students to prepare them for the summer placement process. The Mentorship programme begins right from the stage of CV making, wherein each first year student is assigned 2-3 mentors, who have backgrounds similar to him/her. These mentors lead the first years through the entire process of CV making, guiding them at each and every step. As far as the preparation for GDs and interviews is concerned, no stones are left unturned to ensure that the aspirants are ready for the D-day. Various clubs such as Finance and Investment Club, Consulting Club, Marketing Cell conduct sessions for them wherein they are made aware of the nuances of their chosen field. Mock interviews are conducted and the aspirants are judged on a variety of parameters as a real interviewer would. Further, detailed feedback is provided about their areas of strengths and weaknesses to every student as also means to build on the strengths and negate the weaknesses.

Summer Internship

The Summer Internship Programme is meant to bridge the gap between the real-life business and academic institutions. It is a simulation of the business environment and enables students to experience the rigors of a business organization.

The objectives of Summer Internship include:

  1. To provide students with opportunities to apply the concepts learnt in the class-room to real-life situations
  2. To sensitize students to the nuances of a work place by assigning time-bound projects in a company
  3. To provide students a platform to network which will be useful to further their career prospects

The Summer Internship Programme emphasizes the evaluation of the student’s work at the work center with active involvement of the senior management. These efforts have strengthened the close industry relationship at academic centers and have also paved the way for pre-placement offers to the students

As a course requirement, every MBA student of IIM Calcutta is expected to complete an 8-week industry internship in the summer between the first and second year of the course. The summer placement process is held to facilitate these internships for the students. Most firms offer students full-time positions based on the internships (pre-placement offers). The summer internship process gains importance as many firms (especially investment banks) hire on a strict PPO policy – they hire interns and after evaluating their work for the two months, make them a pre-placement offer (PPO). Most of these firms then do not hire from campuses during final placements.
