Message from the Director

Dr. Abhishek Nirjar Director - IFIM Business School MBA (L.U.), Ph. D. (Sheffield University, UK) Dear Recruiter, It gives me immense pleasure to present our students of PGDM programmes for final placements.

At IFIM, we transform our students into thought leaders to take up challenges of the corporate world, both in India and abroad. We lay stress on the blend of academic rigor and practical ability to prepare our students for a successful corporate career.

The knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for a dynamic organization have in itself become dynamic. This changing paradigm has enlivened IFIM to foster a new class of professionals to manage the emerging needs of the corporate world. Like all growing organizations, corporates have ever-increasing expectations and employees must have the right attitude and skills to survive and sustain their competitive advantage.

The Centre for Continuous Employability (CCE) at IFIM has programmes designed to make students valuable and industry ready. Our 4.5-month Industry Internship Program (IIP), guided by academic and industry experts, provide students with on-the-job training to make them corporate ready. IFIM also has a Social Immersion Program (SIP) in association with reputed NGOs which gives students a sound grounding in CSR activities.

If you are looking for the best-groomed business talent, IFIM is one of the best choices that can meet your expectations to add to your organization’s human resource talent pool.

On behalf of IFIM Business School, I deem it a great privilege to invite your recruitment team to visit our campus for the Final Placement & Industry Internship Program. I am confident that you will be delighted to select our students as they are bound to add immense value to your organization.

Bespoke Management Programmes IFIM Business School’s Bespoke Management Programmes empowers students to create their own learning paths and career goals, thereby creating a better industry fit compared to generic management programmes that are inflexible in their approach. The flexibility to choose courses freely enables students to custom-create a curriculum uniquely suited to their individual needs and aspirations. IFIM is the only institution with a completely flexible PGDM programme, patterned on leading international B-Schools, which has been widely appreciated by the corporates as they get highly-focused resources.

Students can pace their learning – they can take extra credits or reduced credits in a term – according to their aptitude. They can even choose to drop a course if they are so inclined. The ultimate purpose is to leverage their strengths and align their learning path to the needs of the Industry and Business.

IFIM’s exceptional faculty and industry mentors guide students in every step of the way – to help them discover the areas in management they are passionate about.

IFIM Business School’s holistic and integrated learning methodology is geared not only towards creating rewarding careers, but also towards learning and aiming for life-changing experiences.

“Being a corporate mentor for IFIM students has helped me give back to the academic world, the experience that I have acquired over the years.

Students at IFIM are very receptive to mentoring and as a result have more realistic expectations of the corporate needs and their career aspirations. The entire mentoring process I believe has made these students readier for their business management careers.”

“I see in this program yet another proof of IFIM’s commitment in enabling its students to constantly find ways and means to weave the classroom with the real world. I have found this platform to one, which enables the student to grow in understanding and gain confidence in preparing themselves to be the leaders of tomorrow.”

“My mentoring experience at IFIM Business School has been fabulous. Corporate mentors bring in loads of experience while the mentees bring in immense amount of energy and desire to learn, enabling students to map their desired career path. The corporate mentor gets to personally interact with every student and understand their passion, aspirations and dream job, and go on a journey of exploration to help them achieve their goals. It is a truly fulfilling experience.”

“It is a fabulous initiative by IFIM going beyond education to caring by connecting students to industry, and helping them to get an insight and guidance before they make their choices in their career. It is about making them believe in themselves and provide a framework on how to achieve their objectives and realize their dreams !!!”

Personality Enhancement Program (PEP) The Personality Enhancement Program (PEP) is designed to guide students to become effective communicators, develop winning personalities and eventually become dynamic leaders. The program helps students identify personality shortcomings, deepen self-realisation and develop positive belief systems so that they grow into successful managers and human beings. To be a successful corporate citizen, domain knowledge and leadership qualities are not enough. One requires a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. The uniqueness of IFIM’s PEP curriculum is that every student will have to undergo a rigorous Lifestyle Management course from the day they join the Institute. Every student is exposed to a wide variety of activities, effectively grouped term-wise, aimed at developing them through progressive stages of physique development and sharpening of mental aptitudes. Students undergo extremely effective leadership and team-building activities to boost their level of awareness and self-management. The course also covers how to avoid bad habits like smoking or drinking, the importance of a balanced diet, nutrition, etc.

Industry Internship Program (IIP) IFIM’s unique Industry Internship Program, (IIP) has been recognized as the most effective method of enhancing employability. ‘Indian Management Conclave – 2013’, organized by MBA Universe conferred IFIM with a SILVER AWARD in the category of ‘Effective Industry-Institute Engagement’. IIP is completely integrated into the curriculum of the program. The entire 5th term is devoted to the IIP, which spans over 4.5 months.

Industry Internship Program (IIP) has been very well-received by recruiters across industries for its unmatched exposure and valuable on-the-job learning. Students over the years have benefited from the internship for its practical edge and industry experience. The advantage for the recruiting companies is that students would have already completed all coursework that is expected from a graduating student. IFIM students pursue their internships with leading companies, which adds to their repertoire of achievements and accomplishments.

Advantages 1. Provides a transitioning bridge between theory and practice.

2. Enables on-the-job training for students to experiment and 'learn by doing', in a real work environment.

3. Ensures greater access to the faculty who offer student mentorship and evaluation to make them industry-ready during the internship.

4. Building the 'currency of knowledge' through student engagement with industry mentors.

Every year, IIP witnesses a large number of companies from diverse sectors ranging from IT, ITES, financial services, auditing, manufacturing, hospitality, media & advertisement, banking, research & consulting, sports, etc. We get 100% internship offers with top companies across diverse profiles, leading to excellent conversion to Pre-Placement Offers.
