GUIDELINES FOR SUMMER $LACEMENT (SUMMER INTERNSHI$# ,150 %,+ MBA
F255()-& S(2/&1(4
Summer placement +summer internship programme, i.e., now popularly nown as
SI$., is an integral part of the academic curriculum of MBA. >or the successful
completion of the MBA programme, the students are re;uired to complete the S2!.
After completion of the 4
st
year of the programme, i.e., after the 5
nd
semester and
before the commencement of the second year of the programme, the students are
re;uired to wor with an organisation for hands on e7perience. The duration of the
S2! is si7 to eight wees. 2n some cases this period may be a little longer, but in no
case the duration should be more than 4) wees.
S2! aims at widening the studentDs perspecti$e by pro$iding an e7posure to real life
organisational and en$ironmental situations. This will enable the students to e7plore
an industry,organisation, build a relationship with a prospecti$e employer, or simply
hone their sills in a familiar field. S2! also pro$ides in$aluable nowledge and
networing e7perience to the students. &uring the internship, the student has the
chance to put whate$er he,she learned in the 4
st
year of MBA into practice while
woring on a business plan or trying out a new industry, 0ob function or organisation.
The organisation, in turn, benefits from the ob0ecti$e and unbiased perspecti$e the
student pro$ides based on concepts and sills imbibed in the first year at the MBA
institute. The summer interns also ser$e as unofficial spoespersons of the
organisation and help in image building on campus.
Some ideal pro0ects for summer internships can be in the areas of strategy
formulation, business process reengineering, M2S, 13! implementation,
retail,in$estment baning, industry analysis, new product launches, sales and
distribution, maret research and ad$ertising, etc., among others. Howe$er, this is not
an e7hausti$e list of areas but can be $aried to suit the re;uirements of the
organisations where the student has to undergo internship. 2n some cases, e$en field
GU/Syllabus MBA/ 09!0 "n#ards Page %&) o$ %&'
Gujarat University, Ahmedabad MBA Programme
wor can also become an integral part of S2!. The student need not shy away from
taing up such pro0ects.
2n case the scope of the pro0ect is large, e$en more than one student also can
undertae the S2! pro0ect 0ointly. Similarly, if the scope of the pro0ect is limited, the
student can undertae more than one pro0ect during the specified period with the
same organisation or with another organisation.
An additional benefit that organisations may deri$e is the uni;ue opportunity to
e$aluate the student from a long-term perspecti$e. Thus the S2! can become a
gateway for final placement of the student.
The student should ensure that the data and other information used in the study report
is obtained with the permission of the institution concerned. The students should also
beha$e ethically and honestly with the organisation.
The S2! process in$ol$es woring under the mentorship of an e7ecuti$e of the
concerned organisation and also with a faculty member of the institute where the
student is studying, if re;uired. The student is e7pected to first understand the
organisation and its setting and the industry,field in which the organisation is
operating. Thereafter, the student is e7pected to concentrate on the specific topic of
study, its ob0ecti$es, its rationale, and adopt a methodology and identify a suitable
analysis procedure for the completion of the study. Chere$er possible the student
may pro$ide recommendations and action plans, along with the findings of the study.
Thereafter, the student should prepare a report and submit one copy to the
organisation and one copy each to the institute and the uni$ersity. The student should
also obtain a certificate from the organisation,s where the S2! was done and attach
the same with the copy submitted to the institute.

The uni$ersity will arrange for e$aluation of the S2! reports submitted by the students.
>or the purpose, the uni$ersity will nominate one faculty from outside the institute and
two faculty members from the institute who will be the e7aminers. The student,s is,are
e7pected to mae a 4( minute presentation before the e7aminers regarding the S2!
