SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (SIP)
The 12-week Summer Internship Program, conducted between the first and second years (April to June), is a crucial part of the curriculum, carrying a weightage of nine credits. It provides students with the opportunity to apply classroom learning to real-world challenges, integrate functional knowledge within an industry context, and conduct market research in a live business environment. Outstanding performance during the internship may also lead to a pre-placement offer from the hosting organization.
The selection process begins in November, with organizations recruiting students through on-campus interviews or online/telephonic assessments. Each student is assigned an industry mentor at the host organization to guide them throughout the internship. The internship involves identifying a business problem, developing feasible solutions, and presenting recommendations for evaluation and potential implementation. Faculty members provide ongoing support, and both industry mentors and TAPMI faculty assess the final report. Upon returning to campus, students must submit their report to a faculty panel and participate in a viva voce assessment.
