Six Months Embedded Internship from the Academic Year 2021-22
Generally Summer internship Program for the post graduate students of management is organized for six to eight weeks. In this tenure, students are expected to work on the project/assignment given by the company mentors.
It is observed that as the duration of summer internship is being short the corporate expectations from the intern do not get fulfilled. Similarly, the interning student does not get sufficient time to learn about the product/processes in an organization.
To overcome this difficulty, IMDR is introducing a six-month embedded internship program from the academic year 2021-22.
Six Months Internship will be beneficial for both the stakeholders (the company and the student).
Benefits to the Company: -
- Companies can induct the intern properly and give him/her meaningful projects in the 6 months internship.
- Companies will be able to find out better performing candidates and can offer them pre-placement offers. Such candidates will become assets of the company.
Benefits to the Students / Interns: -
- Student will be able to articulate and apply principles learned in and outside of the classroom to a specific internship experience, thereby integrate theory and practice.
- Student will develop work competencies for a specific profession or occupation.
- Students will be able to master professional soft skills that are key for success in a work environment and are highly sought after by companies.
- Student will explore career options and gain general work experience.

- Students will be able to choose their specializations in Semester III easily as they will try their skills in the domain areas of their interest in internship program.
- Students can do internships of 3 months each in the two different specialization areas of their interest.
