How ABS PGDM Students Utilize Internships as Career Launchpad

An integral part of any world-class PGDM curriculum, Summer Training Program (SIP) forms a vital aspect of the overall development of PGDM students. For, in many ways, it allows the students to experience and learn the corporate culture, develop skills, and help them to understand the corporate challenges and expectations which would help them during their final placement.

Most of the top B-schools in India today, therefore, include Summer Training Program (SIP) as a key academic deliverable.  A case in point is the Asian Business School (ABS) located in Delhi NCR’s Noida – which is a part of Asian Education Group (AEG) and is ranked 7^th Amongst ‘Top B-Schools of Excellence’ by CSR-GHRDC – that thrives on the efforts of its PGDM students who continue to prove their mettle in national corporate competitions and placements, thereby strengthening the ABS brand in the corporate world. ABS offers 8 weeks of highly monitored and skill-based internship to its PGDM students to help them to understand the corporate challenges and expectations which in turn helps them during final placements.

Here, it will not be out of place to state that though ABS PGDM students like other management students are named interns, they are actually treated as full-time employee as they are actively involved in decisions, and are a part of the core project team involved in planning & implementation, on-ground research, marketing campaigns and brainstorming for target achievement which offers excellent hands-on experience and an overall professional development.

And the ultimate punch is that, in most such cases, ABS PGDM students end up with a lucrative job offer from the company that they happen to intern with … thus utilizing their internships as a veritable career launchpad!
