Recruit as an Intern

The industry Internship Programme (IIP) at JAGSoM is an innovative arrangement (capstone Programme) under which a student spends 4.5 months in an organization in their last term. The exposure is very intensive which helps the company to monitor the capabilities of the student and also understand whether the student will fit into the organization through such long associations which leads to full-time conversion. This year JAGSoM has observed 77% of the students being picked up by leading companies in the ITeS and Finance & Banking sectors. This has further contributed to the increase of the average stipend by 60% despite the ongoing pandemic and recovering economy. Speaking about the internship placement, Dr Atish Chattopadhyay, Director, JAGSoM said,

“We at JAGSoM are very focused on creating professionals that are industry-ready and hence train them through practicing faculty. The students’ receiving PPO is a testament to the efforts put in by our faculty and leadership into converting the students’ internships. As our economy is recovering from the pandemic-induced downturn, our students’ placement depicts that there is a place ready for them to apply their learnings and skills to.”

In the past three years, JAGSoM has witnessed 50-70% of the students being hired in the Information Technology and Services, Consulting, Finance and Banking sectors. Various roles offered to these students were Digital Marketing, Marketing as a Service (MaaS), Analyst – Project and Program Management, Associate Consultant, Customer Success, Growth Manager, Retail Lending, Category Executive, Business Analyst, BI Consultant, Information Technology Solutions Sales, Strategic Capital Operations, Security Rating Analyst, Market Analyst, Financial Operations, Business Development, Analyst – Delivery Services and many more.

“JAGSoMs three-sixty-degree engagement with the industry across multiple interventions such as structured corporate mentoring programme, request-for-problem initiative, etc. are paying us the dividends. Career track interventions in Martech, Sales & Services, Fintech, Capital Markets, Banking, Digital HR, and Analytics helped the students to be better coupled with the fact that we have operated in physical classroom mode for a large part of this cohort and have made JAGSoM students very sought after in the industry this year.” – Prof Rajesh Kumar, Chairperson Placements and Internship, JAGSoM.
