Corporate IP mentors from GMR, Alpla, Netxcell, Iadore at IMT Hyderabad
by IMT Hyderabad Business Management InstituteThis year’s IMT Hyderabad IP
Mentors’ meet saw active participation of corporate IP mentors from GMR, Alpla, Netxcell, Iadore and many
other firms where IMT Hyderabad’s students did their internships in the
academic year 2016-17. The IP Meet began with a welcome note by Prof. (Dr.)
Sourabh Bhattacharya who extended a warm welcome to the faculty mentors and the
corporate mentors. This was followed by the IMT Hyderabad, Director, Prof. (Dr.) Satish Ailawadi, who thanked
the gathering and briefed the students about the Internship Programme and it’s
benefits. “A classroom cannot be converted to a workplace and therefore to
expose students to the corporate world, Internship opportunities are required.
It is also a great opportunity for the student to demonstrate his/her skill
sets and an opportunity for the organization to assess and evaluate a
prospective employee. Students who perform well are often inducted by
organisations”, said Dr. Ailawadi.
The corporate mentors shared
their feedback about the Internship Process. A structured internship program is
fundamental and enables assessing the students. Considering that 70% of the
students are freshers, at IMT Hyderabad, the extended internship process has been
a propeller for them to understand the basic challenges of the corporate
corridors.
Corporate Mentorship and
regular faculty visits were of immense value addition to
the students and make them more open to learning. Mr. Suraj Meiyur, IP Mentor
(IADORE), quoted, “IP Process is God sent” as it has benefitted the corporate
firms and the students who do their IP.
IP Mentors also agreed up on the fact that more time should be devoted to guide
the students through the IP process. This needs to be planned and shaped in a
better way to achieve its goals. Correct monitoring and timely feedback would
help in achieving the best for both the firm as well as the interns.
