1. SUMMER INTERNSHIP

There are numerous benefits to beginning an internship program: It enables employers to find
future employees; test‐drive talent; increase productivity and employee retention rate; and
revitalize an organization with fresh perspectives and specialized skill sets. Furthermore,
internship programs are not just for large companies and mega corporations. Small‐ and
3|Page
medium‐sized businesses can benefit as much, if not more, from the up‐to‐date knowledge,
boundless motivation, and extra sets of hands…whether it‟s one intern or a team of 10. In a survey
of businesses, it was found that small businesses used interns as frequently as large corporations.
Here are 8 great “quick” benefits of starting an internship program:

 Find future employees

 Test‐drive the talent
 Increase productivity
 Increase employee‐retention rate
 Enhance perspective
 Give back to the community
 Support Students
 Benefit small business

An internship is a temporary, hands-on work experience in an organization or company for which

students earn academic credits. It is an opportunity to add practical, relevant experience to your
field of study and is a way to get to know and understand organizations before students actually
join a job. It will acquaint students with the demands of professional world of work in terms of
knowledge, skills and attitude to perform effectively. This short-term experience provides a real
insight into what it‟s actually like working in a particular job or career field.

An internship is a large part of a student‟s formula for job search success. Students who have good
internship experience can be hired faster and earn more than students who do not have good
experience. An internship is defined good not by a Brand or a project alone but by the outcomes
and able leadership of the industry resource. This becomes more pertinent in case of an
Online/Offline internship.

Why an internship?

• Many of you may not have ever employed in a formal way. The internship gives you an
opportunity of „reality check‟ and on the basis of internship experience, you will be able to
take decisions about yourself and your career plans.

• “Test drive” the path you are choosing and confirm your interest - An internship is a
good way to check out your interest in a possible career field. Not only will you have the
opportunity to build your knowledge base and test your skills by doing your job.

• Be able to relate concepts and theories with practice.

4|Page
 • Grow personally - The value of an internship often extends beyond career exploration; a
good experience can have a significant impact on your personal growth by developing your
intellectual, interpersonal, and leadership qualities.

• Get experience and skills and enhance your resume with career-related experience -
Employers‟ number one criteria when interviewing potential candidates for employment is
related work experience.

• Gain valuable contacts and references - Networking is an essential part of the job search
process and who better to ask for a reference or contact than someone who knows your
work style and habits. Getting to know people working in the career field you‟re interested
in is easier when you‟re working side-by-side with them.

Internships can teach you more about what you do and what you don‟t want to do. No one‟s career
path is a straight line. Everyone starts off with a vision of their ideal job, but this vision is really
just a guess based purely on hypothetical‟s. A funny thing often happens when someone starts
working at their ideal job, they realize it‟s not so ideal for them after all.

1.1. PRE- REQUISITES:

It is important for the students of IILM, to attend career and employability skills workshops
spread across the 1st year of the MBA program. These workshops will prepare students for the
summer internship and covers essentials like professional conduct at work, grooming and body
language, conflict management at workplace, work place dynamics, handling difficult situations
with people and work ethics.

Students are also expected to have attended sessions on Personal Interview which aimed at
preparing them to become more confident professionally and promote rational and creative
thinking.

2. OBJECTIVES OF SUMMER INTERNSHIP

The objectives of the Summer Internship Program are –

− To expose students to real life work.

− To provide an opportunity for the Student Interns to apply in real-life situations the
managerial concepts learnt during the terms 1-3.
− To help them assess their own abilities vis-à-vis demands of the corporate world.
− To provide student interns a platform to take up on-the-job training and develop a network
which will be useful in enhancing their career prospects.
− To enhance their understanding, applying, analyzing and evaluating skills by studying any
one aspect of the company.

5|Page
Summer Internship can be broadly classified into three phases -

(i) Orientation in the company

(ii) On the job training (Offline/Online)
(iii) Project/research work

2.1 Orientation in the Company

During this period, the student/ intern will understand the company, its customers and the
competitors. He/ She will study the annual reports of the company for the past couple of years,
understand the policies of the company, study the macro-environment in which the industry is
operating.

The intern may also get oriented to various departments of the company and get to know the key
functionaries. The interns may meet these functionaries with prior appointment and understand the
various perspectives from them in managing their departments. The interns will also get to know
their company advisor and other executives/supervisors who will be closely guiding them during
the period of summer internship.

By the end of the orientation program in the company, the intern should be able to clearly state
his/her business objectives which would include specific and measurable targets to be achieved
during the on-the-job training, break-up of targets on a weekly basis, synopsis for the summer
training report, etc.

2.2 On the Job Training (Offline/Online)

On the job training may stretch from the beginning to the end of summer internship. During this
period, the intern may be assigned various tasks by the organizations, which are part of the day-to-
day functioning of the department within the organization. On the job training gives direct
exposure to execution and support functions of the department. It gives a flavor of teamwork,
organizational culture, team dynamics, result orientation, organizational pressures, complexities in
achieving the desired results, etc. An intern should take this as a learning experience and be
ambitious of achieving the desired targets or accomplishing the required tasks, through
professionalism and business acumen. On the job training provides good scope for developing
necessary managerial skills and positive attitude.

Online or Offline „on the job trainings‟ are equally rigorous, in terms of deliverables. The
entire stint is challenging but makes sure on the outcomes to be achieved. After all we are
progressing towards a digital age optimizing on the resources in hand.

The interns should keep this in their mind that the future employers will assess them on their
summer internship - and whether or not their temporary employer liked them enough to invite
6|Page
them back permanently. The summer should be a time to make an investment in the future and
students should work as hard as possible.

2.3 Summer Training Project

Each intern will undertake project/research work during the period of summer internship. A
student would be assigned a specific project/research work involving project/research design,
designing of questionnaires, application of sampling techniques, administering the survey,
tabulation of data, application of statistical/managerial tools for analysis of data and drawing
inferences/testing hypothesis thereof and finally culminating in the preparation of a detailed
summer training presentation. A good summer training, providing value to the corporate may be
the trigger for a better placement opportunity.

2.4 Expectations from a Summer Intern

 Behave as a quasi-employee of the organization. Follow all the rules, regulations and
codes of conduct of the organization.

 Strictly follow the summer internship guidelines.

 Prepare industry/company profile as soon as possible after commencement of the Summer

Internship and submit it to the Faculty Mentor.

 Have continuous interaction with the Faculty Mentor and the company advisor.

 Share weekly progress with the Faculty Mentor through phone/email.

 Making sure the content and emails shared with the industry mentor are up to the mark.
Cross checking with the faculty mentor may help

 Endeavour to secure pre-placement offer in summer Internship Company through

dedicated work and result orientation.

3. INTERNS - IN THE ORGANIZATION

3.1 Attendance Policy

100 percent attendance is mandatory. If an intern is not in a position to attend on any day during
summer internship, he/she shall obtain prior approval of leave from company advisor and Faculty
Mentor. Absence without prior approval of leave from company advisor will be viewed seriously
and may lead to termination of Summer Internship.

7|Page
Absolute attendance (100%) is a symbol of dedication and commitment of an Intern. Analysis of
the previous Summer Internship experiences proves that those with good attendance record
performed better during summer internship and secured pre-placement offer (PPO).

3.2 Conduct of Interns

The interns must bear in mind that they are the ambassadors of IILM and conduct themselves in
the manner befitting the IILM standards. IILM expects the interns to maintain high professional
and social standards. The interns should conform to the rules and regulations of his/her place of
work. It is particularly important to be regular, punctual, obedient, honest and sincere at work.
Unprofessional behaviour, dishonesty, misconduct, indiscipline, irregularity at work and
unsatisfactory performance will lead to cancellation of internship of the student.

Do's and Don'ts for students during Summer Internship

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITES

4.1 Faculty Mentor (Domain Expert)

The role of the Faculty Mentor is to facilitate the Intern to undertake a meaningful on the job
training and summer training report, provide necessary operational and academic guidance and to
facilitate evaluation, with the help of the company/industry advisor while the summer internship is
in progress. The Faculty Mentor would be involved at all stages of summer internship.

Expectations from Faculty Mentor:

• Prepare the students for summer internship.
• Get actively involved in identifying the Summer Internship for the mentees.
• Evaluate and approve mentee‟s summer internship project.
• To record mentee, offer letter in student‟s personal file along with the soft copy.
• Summer Internship manual to be shared with the company, along with the Thank you
Letter (Annexure 10)

and keep in constant touch with Industry Mentor to develop the Joint Internship Project.

For example – Lemon Tree (Marketing Profile) Internships to be supervised by one Faculty
Mentor and Lemon Tree (HR Profile) Internships to be supervised by another Faculty Mentor

Faculty mentor should try to hold discussions with the company advisor along with the interns.
This would help the faculty mentor to assess the student's progress in his/her respective project,
the quality and the quantity of work put in by the interns. These discussions would also help the
Faculty Mentor to evaluate the behavior of the interns in the company, and the relationship the
interns maintain with the other executives/staff of the company.

Sub: summer internship by my mentee ____________ at <company name>

Dear Mr./ Ms. _________

Greetings from IILM!

I understand that my mentee, ________________, will be working during his/ her internship
under your guidance and supervision. I would like to thank you for accepting this responsibility.
Summer internship is a significant learning tool for students, and most recruiters place a lot of
importance in knowing about the contribution made and learnings from summer internship, during
the interview process.

I would like to invite you to take joint responsibility, along with me, of this crucial development
phase of students.

Specifically, the following steps would be important:

29 | P a g e
 1. Choice of assignment/ project: We would request you to assign such a project that it builds
upon the courses done by the student in her 1st year PGDM program, and value-adding to
your organization.
2. Tangible Project Deliverables: are project deliverables well-defined? Do these produce
tangible benefits to your organization? Will you be sharing information about the benefits
with the student?
3. Big Picture: While our student might be assigned just a part of the project, her knowledge
horizon will broaden if she gets to know about the bigger impact that the project will
make.
4. Frequent review: We would suggest at least a weekly or fortnightly review cycle.
5. End of project assessment: Your feedback is crucial. SIP is of 6 credits, and your feedback
carries 33% weightage. The feedback format is attached. I would request you to mail me
the filled format latest by __________.

Moreover, either I or one of my colleagues will be visiting you twice/thrice during the course of
the internship period, in order to discuss about the tasks to be done in the project, to go over the
points 1-4 listed above, and to obtain first-hand feedback from you about the student‟s conduct
and contribution. This would not take more than 15 min per interaction, and would be done on a
mutually convenient date and time.

In case you have the need to contact me, you can reach me at <email id>, <mobile number>.

Yours sincerely,

Mentor
