B-School Project Award2019
B-School Project Award2019
• We, at Business Standard, celebrate visionaries from the past and present, and believe those of tomorrow will
emerge from our own budding managers. With this thought, the Business Standard ‘Best B-School Project
Award’ was instituted to honour excellence among management students across India.
• In the 13th year now, it is the leading award in India for summer internship projects by B-School students
• We receive an average of 200 entries every year, across specialisations, and from most of the top B-Schools
• With each college sending us just their best projects, the entry set is made of the best-of-the-best summer
internship work in India
• A rigorous screening process, deliberated with our Official Tabulator EY, and further by an eminent jury from
the corporate world, ensures quality and objectivity
• We wish to see young leaders raise the bar in entrepreneurship and hope that the Business Standard ‘Best B-
School Project’ Award is a step towards that
