The Career Opportunity Cell (COC) manages alumni, corporate partnerships and assists students with placements, career advice, and internships. The center was created to carry out the goal of guaranteeing that ISME students are employable for the rest of their lives by coordinating the academic programs’ learning objectives with those of industry. We believe that continuous Employability requires an individual to consistently augment one’s inherent abilities to remain in demand.
The management of an organization involves both art and science. A management student must receive academic guidance in the classroom in order to acquire the science of management, and they must gain practical experience in a real-world environment in order to master the art of management. Every student is required to take part in the SIP for two months under guidance by professors and an industry expert because it is a vital factor of the curriculum. SIP strives to give students practical experience with how companies run while also demonstrating everything they have learned. This boosts student’s self-confidence and prepares them for the workforce.
Industry Trajectory Program: 2023-25
The ISME Industry Trajectory Program (ITP) is an innovative endeavor that makes it the only business school in the nation to provide a 4-month Industry Trajectory Program in the final Year of the Program. During ITP, our students spend the first half of the day in a classroom receiving lessons, and the second half of the day is spent working with organizations to complete the projects and tasks that have been assigned to them by the company that selected them for ITP. The ITP results in hiring of graduates on a permanent basis.
Industry Trajectory Program: 2022-24
All ISME students receive managerial skills development learning, which is based on a workshop model. This enables the students to realize their professional goals by covering general personality, intellectual, emotional, and human value aspects of being an effective manager. Students receive guidance in creating their resumes, discovering their strengths and weaknesses, analyzing their verbal, numerical, and logical abilities, communication skills, and body language. They also receive training in negotiation, decision-making, mock interviews, and building their resumes. As the curriculum relies on experience learning to conduct the program, business ethics and integrity, leadership, and networking skills make up the three primary elements of the knowledge delivered during MPS.
A special course called VAT (Value Added Training), which is taught during the fourth term of the program, was created by ISME based on the ITP experience and feedback. VAT develops optimistic, confident managers capable of managing challenging business situations. VAT teaches valuable skills that prepare students for the workforce. Our students will receive thoughtful planning and coaching during this program from an extraordinary group of trainers.

ISME holds that mentoring by professionals in the industry promotes a sense of bonding that develops over time into a mutually beneficial relationship between the mentors and mentees (students). The ISME Alumni Mentoring Program emphasizes career growth and planning, entrepreneurship support, employability improvement, career transition, and work-life balance. By consistently imparting information of the industry and its requirements to the students, this effort not only enables the alumni stay in contact with the institute but also mentors the young minds to be prepared for the market.
ISME Career Opportunity Cell Facilitates In-Depth Industry Exposure for PGDM 2024-26 & UG 2024-27 Batches
ISME’s Career Opportunity Cell recently organized comprehensive industry visits for the PGDM 2024-26 and UG 2024-27 cohorts, ensuring that students gain meaningful exposure to the business world. Students visited prominent organizations including TVS Motors, Pretech Plast India Pvt Ltd, ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), Decathlon, Rittal India Pvt Ltd, Sri Sri Tattva, and ITC Limited.
Throughout these visits, students were taken to various facilities within these organizations, such as production units, research and development centers, packaging lines, and warehousing operations. This allowed them to observe and understand the complex processes that drive industry operations.
The hands-on experiences provided by the Career Opportunity Cell enabled students to acquire valuable insights into operational workflows, innovation strategies, and supply chain management. These immersive visits have significantly enhanced their industry knowledge and practical skills, equipping them to navigate the professional world with greater confidence and competence.
