Communication skills
Attitude
Confidence
Market Knowledge / Subject knowledge

Students will be segregated into two batches of 25 each and their interviews will be conducted by a panel of 3 members. Similarly, two panels will take the interviews of around 50 students in a week.

Month - February end onwards

PRE SUMMER INTERNSHIP SESSIONS - SummerInternships play a crucial role in shaping one's career. It not only helps students to gain real exposure to working environments but also helps them develop the necessary skills required to stand out in a saturated job market.

The PPT presentation session is compulsory for all and also aims at checking the placement readiness of the students.
Duration - 2 hours
Month - September

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM- Apart from providing the students with formal sessions, we would divide students amongst ourselves on the basis of their domain and answer any questions that they may be reluctant to ask in front of a larger audience.
MOCK INTERVIEW: 2 - We will do it again prior to the start of the placement season to boost their confidence and provide students with the feedback. Here the students will also be evaluated on the basis Core knowledge in their major and minor specialization.

GLBIMR Alumni Engagement & Outreach Program 2021
"Project - SAHYOG"
Creating Awareness, Engagement and Support

Alumni are the foundations of an Institute and acts as a torchbearer for the upcoming generation. We consider our alumni to be family and are committed to finding meaningful ways to strengthen our bond with them. With this in mind, in the academic year (2021-22) we have developed an Alumni Engagement Program, that calls for a mutual commitment between GLBIMR and its Alumni, executed in a more purposeful way than ever before. Alumni engagement program is build around the three major factors i.e. Nostalgia, Trust and Emotion.
Creating an engaged, supportive alumni network is crucial to an institution's success. Talented alumni will likely have a wealth of experience and skills to share with the institution. With that in mind, we have started Alumni Outreach Program (SAHYOG), wherein alumni have volunteered and spend their valuable time to offer career support to PGDM Batch 2020-23, enhance their experience and give them that competitive edge in today's tough job market.
We started with the first session of SAHYOG in the month of August, 2021. Alumni have created streamlined action plan for students keeping in mind the hurdles that students face in finding the right job for themselves.
Following initiatives were taken in this program
Mock Interview 1: First step to ensure we are clear in terms of understanding what measures are needed to help students. Team SAHYOG have conducted Mock Interview for every 2nd Year student and then divided them into three groups based on the result.

Duration - 1 month (Alumni's to be divided in a panel of 2 each)
Domain related interview questions: Having been in the industry for 10 years, our Team has a good amount of experience in taking interviews and what are the most common questions that are normally asked. For freshers, we will also stress on a very important question that usually dictates the outcome of most interviews: "Tell me something about yourself"
Duration - 8 hrs (1-2 hr session for each domain)
Till now a panel of 7 Alumni (Specialization wise) has taken following sessions with students:
1. Mock Interview Session (Specialization Wise)
2. Feedback Session (Specialization Wise)
3. Domain related interview questions
4. Job Search

Outcomes:
Final Placement
1. Two Students were placed in OLA Electric (Finance ) in Bangalore

3. One Student have cleared two rounds of PARLE AGRO and result is awaited
Students have the opportunity to talk to the experienced professionals who were once students in their shoes.
Under this program, students are getting career guidance, encouragement and advice on important course and field work.
The Institute is also expected to gain from this program, first and foremost being more strong ties with the Alumni. Knowing the fact that there are more than 100's of other colleges, if the outcome of the program is positive than it can be used as "Niche Product" value add that GLBIMR offers along with other curriculum.
