• Mentoring Program At IMS we believe that the student-faculty interaction

outside the classroom is very essential for the overall

development of the students academically and also

attitudinally. The students have basically three kinds

of needs viz. academic, emotional and career needs. It

is in context of these needs that the role of faculty, as a

mentor, counts. Every student of the Full Time

programs is assigned a faculty member as mentor

who helps and guides him/her during his/her stay at

IMS. The faculty mentor regularly monitors and

reports progress of the students to his/her parents

along with the institute.

• Corporate Interface Series In the era of constantly changing management

paradigms, the institutes and industry, which for long

have been operating in separate domains, are rapidly

inching closer to each other to create synergies. At

IMS, the need for Corporate has been given the top

most priority and IMS has continuously endeavors

the interface to help students excel in corporate

exposure. Proving its excellence in this field too, IMS

has been awarded as the Best Institute in corporate

interface by ASSOCHAM. At IMS, students are given

ample opportunities to interact with corporate to gain

valuable knowledge to excel in future. All the

students will be given opportunity at least once

during the whole programme to attend the

conferences, conclaves, annual meets and workshops

of various corporate and Govt. bodies like AIMA, CII,

FICCI, PhD Chambers of Commerce, ASSOCHAM,

NHRD Network, Ananta Aspen Centre, etc.

• CSR Activities/Social Initiatives As a responsible Institution, IMS takes pride in being

socially inclined and focuses on sustained and

effective CSR projects. The major core areas that we

support are Blood Donation Camps, promoting

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Tree Plantation, distribution

of clothes to slums, visiting specially abled children to

NGO’s, each one teach one, donations for national flag

day and natural calamities.

17. SPECIAL FEATURES• PPSP Program Personal and Professional Skills Program (PPSP) is

designed to develop soft skills in Management

students. They will learn, through this program, skills

like how to work in a team, how to handle

contingency situation, apart from learning effective

communication, time management, etc. The program

essentially aims at developing the skills, which will

make them an effective individual as well as a

professional. This program consists of ten modules

which will be offered as indicated in the program

structure.

• Mock Interview Series IMS Ghaziabad has recently initiated Mock Interview

Series, which enable candidates to have a fair idea

about the real corporate perspective they are going to

experience at actual interviews, and prepare them

how accurately they can deal with it. These interviews

are organized by PPSP Department of IMS where a

concerned faculty along with two senior alumni

on the first day of the start of the summer internship

program. The CRC should have complete information of the

students of IMS and the organization where they are

required to pursue the summer internship. This information

should be furnished on a prescribed Performa within a week

of the start of the summer internship program.

Faculty - Student Interaction

The regular period interaction of the faculty with the

students is necessary. This interaction helps in continuous

monitoring and guiding the students in his/her project and

assignment work. In this meeting faculty will tell the

students about their performance and progress in the project

and assignment task undertaken by them. The faculty will

also inform every student from time to time about his strong

as well as weak points in various evaluation components

and the ways to improve upon them. However, the student

has the responsibility to seek for any clarification on any of

the above aspects by frequently consulting the faculty.

Feed - Back Form

In order to improve and strengthen the internship

programs, the faculty guide will collect feedback from the

students as well as industry guides. For this purpose

comprehensive questionnaires will be designed. These will

include the experiences, opinions, and feelings of the

students and feedback of the industry guides regarding

various aspects of the internship program.

Guidelines for Report Preparation and

Presentation

General Guidelines1. At the end of the first year (in Term-III), the students are

required to work in the industry for a period of 6-8

Weeks. This gives them an opportunity to show

students latent capabilities.

Introduction

The summer internship program can best be described as

attempt to institutionalize efforts to bridge the gap between

the professional world and the academic institutions. Entire

effort in summer internship education is in terms of

extending the program of education and evaluation beyond

the classroom of institution. The summer internship is of 6-8

weeks' duration and is implemented during the summer

after the first year of the two-year PGDM. The summer

internship program is exposure oriented and aims at

initiating and orienting the students to the professional

world. During this process it provides an opportunity for

students to satisfy their inquisitiveness to know more

details. This circumstance exposes them to new analytical

and technical skills to communicate with and to seek

information from the professional people.

After they have been enriched with this kind of exposure,

the students can participate more effectively in the

professional courses, which they will be studying in the

subsequent terms during the second year. The educational

process in the internship courses seeks out and focuses

attention on many latent attributes which do not surface in

the normal class room situations such as intellectual ability,

professional judgment and decision making ability, inter -

disciplinary approach, skills for data handling, ability in

written and oral presentation, sense of responsibility etc. In

order to achieve these objectives a set of guidelines for

conducting summer internship program and evaluating the

student performance at various organizations has been

given. These guidelines are prepared within the board

framework of academic regulations.

Registration

For summer internship, a student registers for the course

"Summer Internship". The registration takes place at the

institute just after or during the End - Term examinations of

the third term. The students should reach the organization

specific or more general topic within that field. The next

step involves further narrowing down the subject

matter. It is often very helpful to take note of several

questions/statements that you will attempt to answer

number of questions/statements, you will soon notice a

main question continues to emerge. You should focus

on this principal question/statement as your

dissertation title. You should always choose a research

topic that is of interest to you.
