Summer Placement Report Class of 2014 INTRODUCTION

Summer Internship is an indispensable part of a B-Schools curriculum; therefore we at MDI take the summer placement process very sincerely. As an intern, a management student gains a broader understanding and develops a holistic perspective of the practical aspects of businesses. The students accomplish this by utilizing the chance to shoulder the responsibility of taking decisions by applying their classroom learning in a complex real life business scenario. Even in the midst of a sluggish economy, MDI was once again successful in providing its students the chance to intern with the established names in the industry.

SUMMARY
There has been a noticeable increase in the average stipend, number of recruiters confirming presence, and the diversity of the roles offered this year as compared to last year. The proportion of batch taking the Consulting domain has doubled over the last year. On the other hand, Marketing and Finance domains still maintain strong presence in the choice of the students. With the successful completion of the Summer Placements for the Class of 2014, MDI has reinforced its excellent relations with the corporate world and has provided them with yet another batch of eager students, ready to leave a lasting impression on the industry.

FOR THE ALMA MATER

The institute has a history of cultivating change agents who go on to shine in the industry. A very important facet of the development of MDI is what these change agents give back to the institute. It is heartening to see that after passing out of the institute and moving into their high-flying careers, these change masters return to their alma mater. A number of former students came as part of the recruitment teams of their firms, proving their strategic importance to their organization. MDIs alumni network is growing stronger year on year and these alumni who have made a mark for themselves in this world make MDI proud of their creed.
