Summer Internship and Major Research Project

After the completion of their second semester, students will be required to register for a summer internship for a period of 8 weeks in an external organization. Furthermore, the students will have to undertake a major research project with 20 credits in Semester 4 as a core requirement for completing the degree. Detailed project guidelines would be available to the students for meeting course requirements for the summer internship and major research projects. The summer internship and major research projects are usually carried out by the MBA students in some host organization. The objective is to provide the students with a forum to focus on sustainable development challenges in the industry and civil society, and participate in the analysis and problem solving process. Each internship period will culminate in a cross-disciplinary seminar where the students will be evaluated on their problem solving ability along with their learning from the exercise regarding crossdisciplinary linkages, the importance of context in defining sustainable development challenges, and key management issues.

The choice of pedagogical tools will be based on the principle of active learning based on strong conceptual understanding. These would comprise classroom lectures, case studies, field visits, term papers, assignments and tutorials, a large number of guest lectures by practitioners and industry experts, seminars and discussion forums, and role plays. In particular, case studies, drawing from real-world sustainability and management challenges, will be designed and integrated into the curriculum. The faculty, along with professionals and development organizations, will be encouraged to collaborate in the preparation of the case studies. These case studies, along with the field exposure planned during the Summer Internship and the Major Research Project would provide a relevant context to the curriculum in this programme.
