Goldman Sachs, KPMG, EY, Amazon and Mu Sigma, ringing in an average incoming salary of 10.5 LPA.

About the Industry Immersion Programme

The unique experiential and practitioner-led pedagogical approach at Masters’ Union thrives on a consistent immersion in the
industry, which ensures a hands-on learning experience for our students. Our 8-week Industry Immersion Programme is an
extension of this curricular paradigm, through which students get access to a range of outcome-focused engagements with
eminent corporate entities.

While some students choose to work in sectors where they’d like to build their careers, others try to build alternative
perspectives and explore previously uncharted roles at innovative startups and organizations

For the inaugural Cohort of 2021, the immersion dates range from 23rd April to 10th July, 2021 and can be classified into one
of the following:

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
