About 89% of the batch is comprised of engineering graduates and their average work experience is about 18 months. Ernst & Young offered an international internship in Kuwait. An internship in the field of supply chain management in the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) in the north-east was offered to another candidate.

The 20 students who received the summer internships with the state government are working in the areas of the Public Distribution System, the health sector, the finance department, the communications and tourism departments. These projects were identified after a workshop which was organized and conducted by the Chief Secretary of the state government some weeks ago.

The workshop was titled, ‘How Raipur can play an effective role in the overall growth of Chhattisgarh’. Besides the students of IIM Raipur, this workshop was also attended by principal secretaries and MDs of state-owned enterprises. The major profiles offered in marketing were marketing research, B2B marketing, marketing strategy development and sales and marketing. And in Finance, the major profiles offered were asset management, equity research, strategic costing and credit rating. According to the Placement Committee, for the entire internship, the average stipend works out to some Rs 40,000.
