Industry Immersion Options

Corporate Internships:
A corporate internship intends to provide students on-the-job learning opportunities, allocating them specific assignments at
leading organisations in the vertical of their choice. Such internships are most relevant either for candidates with very little
work experience, or those looking for a drastic shift in their career trajectory.

Masters’ Union is perhaps the first Business School of India to have marquee recruiters like McKinsey,
BCG, TATA, Softbank and BMW hire from its inaugural cohort, placing us neck-to-neck with older
and established institutions of the country like IIM (A,B,C) and ISB
