Recalling her learning experience at ASM, Nisha, who is working as an Assistant Manager in Digital Sales at Tata Capital Finance said it was an overall development time. “I got opportunities to participate in group discussions, group projects, public speaking, synergy fests etc.. Each of these activities helped me learn a new skill set that I am implementing now in the corporate world,” she said.

ANUBHAV MADAN, WIPRO
Placed at Wipro, Anubhav Madan who did his course in 2019-21 said that ASM gave him ample opportunities to work on his communication skills that are required in all the fields. “I also learnt team work and team management via practical knowledge and learnings from the projects I was given. I learnt the art of taking initiatives from here,” he said. Despite challenges faced in the last 1.5 years, from thoughts of uncertainty and technical glitches, he said that the positivity and the confidence helped him sail through it. “Internships are important but not mandatory. If you have worked on a project and have a thorough knowledge about it, the company you are opting for will understand it,” he said.
He Advised students to make it a habit to sit for 10-12 hours at a particular place, adapting to the extreme change of work environment,  learning the art of rapport building and time management.

“Brilliancy in academic doesn’t assure your excellence in the corporate world and Vice-versa.”
