What do you mean by Traineeship programme?

The Traineeship programme is the heart of our teaching methodology. We believe that learning must take place not only in the class room, but simultaneously at the work place. Our traineeship programme offers a hands-on approach to the students in their chosen profession, and an opportunity to work with the best in industry.

All students pursuing programmes in Business, Advertising & Graphic Design, Fashion Technology and Media are eligible for the traineeship programme.

Simultaneous to pursuing the professional programme, students are selected by one of our industry partners to work in their offices on assignments directly related to their chosen course, and are paid an attractive stipend for their services. Classroom sessions are held in the morning for 3 hours a day, following which the students work with an organization and acquire on-the-job skills.

These students are usually placed in the management cadre of these companies on successful completion of their programme and satisfactory work performance during the traineeship period
