*This is only an indicative list

“Biocon �rst took two interns from the PGDM program of IFIM two years ago. Both were absorbed by us at the end of the internship, so when we approached IFIM this year, we did so with the intent of �lling in some permanent positions within the HR team.

The IFIM model of doing an internship for the last 6 months of their tenure at college, with the option of absorbing those found suitable, is in my view an excellent way for both the intern and the company to have a good look at each other, so that they can take a more informed decision at the end.This year we have taken 5 interns and will be absorbing 3 of them. All the interns have shown a keen desire to learn and contribute. They are also fairly disciplined, well-adjusted and have displayed sound interpersonal skills.”

Centre for ContinuousEmployability (CCE)The Centre for Continuous Employability at IFIM has been setup in line with our vision of ‘Continuous Employability’. It facilitates placements for our students through career counselling and mentoring them to enhance their employability skills. In addition, it also provides lateral placement services to IFIM alumni. The CCE partners relevant companies for campus recruitment and provides opportunities to eligible students based on their capabilities. The centre is headed by an industry experienced expert:

Mr. Ravi C. DasguptaVice-President Group HR, Biocon

- by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated don’t give way to hating,And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master;If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same:

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can �ll the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!
