1. SIP Objectives
a. The Student Perspective
The SIP is designed to provide the PGDM student with an opportunity to work and
gain first-hand exposure to the corporat e environment, work culture and processes
that prevail in organizations.
SIP provides the intern an opportunity of putting the conceptual learning into practice and
decision making in the functional area assigned by the organisation.

business problem, collection of useful data or other output which enhances their
business.
iii. Many companies use the SIP as a basis for evaluating the candidature of potential
recruits into the organization.
iv. Any project which is not large enough to be out sourced and not small enough to be
done as additional work by a regular employee is given to an intern.
It is therefore very important that any internship be a win-win situation for both the
intern as well as the sponsoring organization. The student needs to keep in mind that
he/she is responsible for ensuring that this mutually beneficial relationship is
achieved.

undergoes such an experiential learning process. Summer Internship Program is a 3Credit course. The following aspects may be noted.
