THIS JULY, THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT KOZHIKODE (IIMK) INDUCTED 353 STUDENTS AFTER

ADMINISTERING A RIGOROUS SELECTION PROCEDURE. THESE STUDENTS WILL GO THROUGH THREE

TERMS OF ACADEMIC WORK AFTER WHICH THEY WILL UNDERGO AN 8-10 WEEK SUMMER INTERNSHIP

AT VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD. THIS PUBLICATION IS INTENDED TO HELP YOU, THE

RECRUITER, REACH THE STUDENTS BEST SUITED TO YOUR COMPANY.

SUMMER INTERNSHIPS - THE CONCEPT

Summer Internship is an integral part of the PGP course at Indian Institute

of Management Kozhikode. During their first year, students are trained in

functional areas of Marketing, Finance, Consulting, Economics,

Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management, Operations

and Information Technology which orient them towards a business culture.

The courses aim at molding their work ethic and developing skills highly

valued by the contemporary industry.

At the completion of the first year in PGP course, students spend 8-10

weeks during the summer in the industry. Students are exposed to a real

time business environment, and take up responsibilities and goals which

aim at being mutually beneficial for both the student and the organization.

It serves as a platform for applying the management theories learnt in

the classroom and helps in providing clarity about the functional area

that they desire to specialize in. Internships thus have a crucial influence

on the career path and choice of organization by a student.

WHY SHOULD COMPANIES RECRUIT INTERNS?

� Internships have a distinct edge over interview-based final recruitment

as a method of evaluating potential employees

� Deserving candidates often get Pre-Placement Offers, and students

at IIM Kozhikode have enjoyed a particularly special relationship with

their recruiters in this regard

� Summer interns offer a fresh perspective to projects. They are in a

unique position to provide an objective and unbiased point of view

about the organization’s work processes

� The students also act as brand ambassadors for the organization on

campus, acting as spokespersons and spreading awareness about

the company in general
