Gearing for Corporate World

The management of an organization involves both art and science. A management student must receive academic guidance in the classroom in order to acquire the science of management, and they must gain practical experience in a real-world environment in order to master the art of management. Every student is required to take part in the SIP for two months under guidance by professors and an industry expert because it is a vital factor of the curriculum. SIP strives to give students practical experience with how companies run while also demonstrating everything they have learned. This boosts student’s self-confidence and prepares them for the workforce.

The ISME Industry Trajectory Program (ITP) is an innovative endeavor that makes it the only business school in the nation to provide a 4-month Industry Trajectory Program in the final Year of the Program. During ITP, our students spend the first half of the day in a classroom receiving lessons, and the second half of the day is spent working with organizations to complete the projects and tasks that have been assigned to them by the company that selected them for ITP. The ITP results in hiring of graduates on a permanent basis.

All ISME students receive managerial skills development learning, which is based on a workshop model. This enables the students to realize their professional goals by covering general personality, intellectual, emotional, and human value aspects of being an effective manager. Students receive guidance in creating their resumes, discovering their strengths and weaknesses, analyzing their verbal, numerical, and logical abilities, communication skills, and body language. They also receive training in negotiation, decision-making, mock interviews, and building their resumes. The curriculum focuses on experiential learning, emphasizing three key elements: business ethics and integrity, leadership, and networking skills. These areas form the core knowledge delivered during the MPS program.

At ISME, we are committed to preparing students not just academically, but also professionally. The Value Added Training (VAT) is a specialized training module conducted after the 4th Trimester of the PGDM program. It is customized annually based on corporate feedback and evolving market demands, ensuring our students are equipped with the most relevant and in-demand skills.

ISME believes that mentoring by industry professionals fosters a sense of connection, which gradually evolves into a mutually beneficial relationship between mentors and students (mentees). The ISME Alumni Mentoring Program focuses on career growth, entrepreneurship support, employability enhancement, career transitions, and work-life balance. By sharing industry insights and requirements with students, the program helps alumni stay connected with the institute while mentoring students to prepare for the job market.
