Summer Internship Project (SIP) is an integral part of the academic curriculum of MBA at SLIBM. For the successful completion of the MBA programme, students have to undergo an SIP as per the prescribed format and duration as per the GTU guidelines. Students are required to work with an organization for hands on experience during the semester gap of Semester II and semester III. The students may carry their SIP training at the organization located within the geographical boundary of Gujarat/India/Foreign Country.

Objectives

For the students :
  • SIP aims at widening the student's perspective by providing an exposure to real life organizational environment and its various functional activities.
  • This will enable the students to explore an industry/organization, build a relationship with a prospective employer, or simply hone their skills in a familiar field. SIP aims at widening the student's perspective by providing an exposure to real life organizational environment and its various functional activities.
  • SIP also provides valuable knowledge and networking experience to the students. During the internship, the student has the chance to put whatever he/she learned in the first year of MBA into practice while working on a business plan or trying out a new industry, job function or organization.
For the organization :
  • The organization, in turn, benefits from the objective and unbiased perspective the student provides based on concepts and skills imbibed in the first year at the institute.
  • An additional benefit that organizations may derive is the unique opportunity to evaluate the student from a long-term perspective. Thus the SIP may become a gateway for final placement of the students.
Placement Procedure for Summer Trainees:

An organization can indicate their interest in providing summer training to the students of SLIBM through written or verbal correspondence. It may indicate the details of a specific project, if any, and/or general nature of summer project alongwith the profile of students required. The institute will send resumes of interested students, who qualify to meet the needs of the organization. The organization can make a selection based on the resumes. Organizations are welcome to the institute for the selection process or can invite students to their offices for the selection procedure. The organization is expected to communicate to the institute about the selected student and the details of the project to be undertaken by the student. The organization may pay a stipend to the trainee and/or reinforce the expenses incurred for the purpose of the project, as per the rules of the organization.
