Enhancing student skills

No doubt CMC takes the complete onus of bringing down as many companies as possible to ICFAI Business School (IBS) campuses, but it is the students who are responsible for the final performance during the interviews. Apart from academics, CMC organizes guest lectures, talks from industry stalwarts, and interactive sessions where students get great exposure. Certain parameters in which CMC helps thoroughly to prepare them for facing the recruitment process:

• Soft-skill enhancement: The way one communicates and speaks in an interview casts the first impression on the recruiter. Speaking skills are majorly a reason for grabbing the attention and getting noticed by recruiters. CMC organizes activity sessions in various innovative formats to help- students develop their soft skills.
• Personality development: This includes overall presentability along with the required confidence. The ICFAI Business School (IBS) curriculum is designed to compel students to work on their skills constantly. The students are exposed to group discussions, practice sessions, and multiple mock interviews before facing the real deal.
• Career counselling: CMC is always open for the students for interaction, and guiding them in choosing and deciding upon a career path. 
• Strong Industry Interface
• Internships: Students are encouraged to take as many internships as possible.

 Summer Internship placement:

CMC organizes the summer internship recruitment process in which students get recruited as summer interns in reputed companies coming from various industries like banking, consumer goods, financial services, pharma, consulting, telecom, etc. ICFAI Business School (IBS) maintains an extensive list of recruiters and has built great goodwill in the corporate sector in terms of enriching the students and making them industry ready. 

The summer internship is a mandatory part of the 2- year full- time MBA/PGPM course curriculum at ICFAI Business School (IBS). Summer internship needs to last for around 14 weeks, in which the students get placed in various companies across industries and are associated with professional teams under the mentorship of professors and team leads. The students get an opportunity to learn from real-life experience and ongoing learning by being in a professional team. This also provides an orientation to the corporate world for the students when they still have time to improve and polish their skills and competencies. The students are required to prepare a synopsis of the internship program under the guidance of the project mentor and professors from the campus.
