Group Internship
Program
Group Internship Program (GIP) is a functional internship for first year full-time MBA students from select business schools across India. Subject to performance during the internship, this could be the opportunity to enter the Aditya Birla Group Leadership Programs as a full-time participant.
First year students pursuing a full-time MBA, from select business schools with 0 - 36 months of pre-MBA work experience, are eligible to apply for GIP. Institutes from where we typically hire Group Interns are:
We also recruit interns from other top institutes in the country based on their exemplary performance in campus competitions/ wildcard rounds, or recipients of the Aditya Birla Scholarships.
Hiring follows a 3-stage assessment process:
- Online gamified simulation assessments

Participants are allowed to select a specific function of their interest for a 2-month internship during April and May. Availability of internships in the nominated function are subject to business requirements.
