Industry Internship Programme (IIP) at JAGSoM is an innovative arrangement (capstone programme) under which a student spends 4.5 months in an organisation in their last term. The exposure is very intensive and the company, through such long associations, monitors the capabilities of the student and also understands whether the student will fit into the company. This year JAGSoM has observed 77% of the students being picked up by leading companies of ITeS and Finance & Banking sectors. This has further contributed to the average stipend increasing the same by 60% despite the ongoing pandemic and recovering economy.


 


Speaking about the internship placement, Dr. Atish Chattopadhyay says, “We at JAGSoM are very focussed on creating professionals that are industry-ready and hence train them through practicing faculty. The students receiving pre-placement offers is a testament to the efforts put in by our faculty and leadership into converting the students’ internship. As our economy is recovering from the pandemic-induced downturn, our students’ placement shows that there is a place ready for them to apply their learnings and skills to.”

Career track interventions in Martech, Sales & Services, Fintech, Capital Markets, Banking, Digital HR, and Analytics helped students be better coupled with the fact that we have operated in physical classroom mode for a large part of this cohort have made JAGSoM students very sought after in the industry this year.”Prof Rajesh Kumar, Chairperson, Placements, and IIP.
