Programme, students in the month of May
and June undertake two months summer
internship in their preferred area of
specialization in any corporate
organization. The objective of summer
internship is to help students relate the
concepts learned in class with practice in
real life situations, make them aware of
business practices and instill a sense of

BrindavanBottlersPvtLtd(Coca-ColaIndiaBottlingPlant)
I started my career growth when I stepped into IILM as a
student, in the year 2008 and have never stopped developing
ever since. In the real, cruel world, I faced lots of threats &
hurdles, but I survived and flourished because of the
application-based learning and rigorous training which I got at
IILM. Now, after more than three years of achieving great
heights, and still seeking the sky, I have realized that if you
have the right attitude and professional approach, which I
achieved during my time at IILM, no-one can stop you from
reaching the top, except your own self.
