Experiential Learning

Our students are exposed to various experiential learning Programmes like Social Internship Programme (SIP), Corporate Internship Programme (CIP), Guest Speaker Series, Industry Visits, Live Projects, and Guided Independent Study (GIS) that mold their skills into action plans. These opportunities enable our students to rub shoulders with the real corporate leaders and managers and understand the changing business scenarios and challenges.

Corporate Internship Programme (CIP)

FIIB has always given as much importance to experiential learning as to its curriculum and course work. The 8 weeks CIP is an ideal way of understanding the nuances of different industry verticals and functional areas by the students individually as per their career orientations. CIPs at FIIB are offered on noteworthy roles with multiple industries like FMCG, Media, BFSI, E-commerce, Manufacturing, Telecom and Consulting.

It is ensure that the projects offered to students are in sync with the ‘major specialization’ opted by them. The offered projects cover varied business functions like sales and business development, market/sales promotion, market research, digital marketing, supply chain management, warehouse management, import-export documentation, talent acquisition, HR operations and analytics, investment portfolio management, banking operations, sales of financial products, and many more.

Some of the leading recruiters for corporate internships in 2020 were:

Company Mentor Speak

"Excellent! Loved every minute of it. It felt that I was myself back to the classroom - learning new ways to look at problems. The young minds and their questions revealed a perspective which you tend to lose- with presence in the same industry for 3 decades and working with mature minds. Ingenious Faces provided me the opportunity to zoom out and take in the beauty of the terrain."

"It was a great pleasure and a fantastic experience."

"Great support resources for the team. The students did a great job."

"It was a very good experience with the students. They added a great value to the project"

"They were both excellent interns and will do well when they get into the real world of work. I believe they learned a lot and have probably gained significantly from the process - enhanced by the fact that they basically attended an entrepreneurial Programme while working as interns."

Social Internship Programme (SIP)

In the Social Internship Programme, students work alongside leading NGOs and social ventures under the mentorship of faculty to identify and solve their business or social activity problems. The core activities of these NGOs are women empowerment, adult education, child welfare, education and sustainable living. The primary thought behind the SIP initiative is to create socially aware corporate leaders of tomorrow. By the end of the programme, students are able to make connections between themselves, the community experiences and the larger world.

Live Projects

Our students do not limit themselves to theoretical learning. In the quest to provide experiential learning opportunities to all students and to bridge in the impending gaps between the classroom learning and practical application of knowledge, students are offered virtual, research based & work from home projects that they may pursue in the after-hours. To ensure that the project objectives are met, faculty mentors support and guide the students.

Guided Independent Study (GIS)

GIS is a self-directed project done by the students on their own under the guidance of respective faculty mentors. It provides students with the opportunity to carry out research-oriented work (which may or may not involve field study). This Project requires a sound understanding of various foundation courses especially the course of business research methods. It helps students in assessing their limitations and improve their abilities in managing a project independently and professionally.

Industry Speaker Series

Our students get opportunities to interact with the industry leaders and gain real-life practical industry exposure through a Speaker Series conducted in various formats like ‘View from the Top’ (VFTT), Career Oriented Guest Sessions, In-course Guest Lectures & Conference & Seminars, etc.

View From The Top

The VFTT series is one of a kind event at FIIB where versatile leaders who are on the top of their field, share their experience with the FIIB community. These talks are thought-provoking, give insights into the various facets of life and give the much-required motivation to instil a sense of positivity among the students.
