Internship & Placements
Placement at IUU follows a meticulous process, commencing from student induction and concluding with the receipt of a final job offer. Specific parameters are established for students to qualify for participation in placements, necessitating their formal registration to access both on-campus and off-campus placement opportunities offered by the University. Students who don't register or don't meet these criteria are ineligible to apply for any placement opportunity facilitated by the placement cell.
The Career Services Cell shoulders various responsibilities to enhance training and placement prospects for students. The placement process can be summarised as follows:
The process of placement can be summarized as under:

This Cell remains abreast of the evolving demands of the corporate sphere, ensuring that students are well-prepared to meet these professional expectations and serve the industry proficiently.

5. Summer Training & Internship
After their first year, the MBA Full-Time students engage in an 8-10 week Summer Internship during June and July. Our MJMC students participate in a 4-6 week internship program within reputable media organisations after completing their initial academic year. Law students pursue internships after each semester, while BALLB and BBALLB students undertake a substantial internship at the culmination of every semester. BHM students partake in a 20-week internship during the third semester and complete a six-month On-the-Job Training (OJT) within renowned Hotels/Hotel chains/Organizations.

The Pre-Placement Talk serves as a standard practice fostering interaction between industry representatives and students. Participating organisations are encouraged to conduct brief presentations detailing their company, the potential opportunities available for aspirants, and providing comprehensive job descriptions for the positions they aim to recruit for. The University extends necessary support to facilitate these PPT sessions, ensuring a seamless process for both recruiters and students.
