New Delhi: After a few on-campus visits to recruit summer interns at the Indian Institute of Management, or IIM, in Ahmedabad, financial services company Edelweiss Capital Ltd created such a buzz that the students invited the company for final job placements last year.
That’s how important summer internships can be—to both employers and students.
These days, most companies are using internships as a tryout for a full-time job. Internships establish their brand on campus, judge candidates in a more effective way than exams or interviews, and, in the best scenario, lead to a permanent job offer. A well-done summer job gets noticed even by competitors.
