The Summer Internship Programme (SIP) at the institute places the students for an 8-week long internship after their second semester and before their third semester. The major goals of the SIP are as follows:

• Gain a thorough understanding of their specific domain.
• Recognize the job profiles that fall under their domain and the skill sets that are required.
• Get corporate experience so that they are prepared to begin their careers.

The students are placed in various industries, firms and companies for eight weeks during the summer. The internship not only bridges the gap between theory and practise, but also improves the skill sets and knowledge necessary to succeed in the corporate world. Students also get the opportunity to have a greater grasp of the corporate world, to work as part of a team, and to comprehend what their customers and clients want from them. The students are not only taught how to learn, but also how to perform in an organisation in order to receive a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO), which improves their chances for a placement.

After their internships are over, the students make presentations before the corporate heads, in which they exhibit their work or project undertaken during the internship. Students are evaluated for the skills they acquired and the information they received during the internship, but also on how they contributed to the company’s success through their work. The presentations and the question and answer sessions that follow help the students develop practical knowledge and confidence.

Dr. D. Y. Patil B-School has a comprehensive placement training programme in place. The training starts right on the first day of academics and continues till the students get a placement. The training includes skill assessment test, group discussions, corporate seminars and panel interview round. The curriculum has been designed in line with the needs of the industry to make the students industry-ready.

Several rounds on on- placements are conducted. Several of those rounds are screening rounds to select the students who give the best performance. The students who have the best performance appear for the final interview.

Here is an overview of the different placement training given to the students.

Skill assessment test – assessment is usually an aptitude-based test that helps determine the reasoning and analytical abilities of a student. This is part of the curriculum and is conducted within the academic structure from the first semester to prepare the students for the first round of placement.

Industry-relevant curriculum – The curriculum is developed based on the reverse system approach and conforms to the AICTE framework. This helps develop industry-relevant post-graduate programs in management. The programs have been designed with close collaboration with the association of companies. This helps make the students ready for the industry as well as develop their careers. The needs of the industry are assessed through continued interaction with companies who share their job specifications. The program educational objectives are then planned to meet the job specifications.

Corporate seminars – Seminars and workshops provide a chance to interact with experts from the specific field. Discussing the relevant topics of the particular subject, students tend to learn about the latest information and new skills related to the concerned subject. As a result of genuine interest shown by the students to know and learn about the subject, they research about the particular topic with the help of expert guidance and land in their conclusion after a careful investigation, experiment, and simulation. At Dr. D.Y. Patil B-School we conduct regular corporate sessions where renowned corporates from distinguished corporates visit us to connect with our students.

Group discussions – Group discussions are conducted at regular intervals to assess the communication skills, leadership skills, management skills, team-building skills, social skills, problem-solving skills and presence of mind of the students. Based on their performance, professional trainers helps the students enhance their skill sets with regular activities.

Mock panel interview – Mock panel interviews are conducted to prepare the students for the actual interviews. Panels of professional recruiting managers interview the potential candidates face-to-face. The panels consist of experts from the corporate world. Separate sessions are conducted for the technical aspects and the HR aspects to prepare the students for their final placement.
