New Companies Flock
Great Lakes Institute to Offer Fall Project Internships
Despite this being just the
second year for the One-Month Fall Project, Great Lakes was able to build
in capabilities and create opportunities for students with different kinds of
jobs that they loved to do. The Fall Project again stood testimony to the
interest that
industry has shown towards this concept of one-month internship. The Fall
Internships at Great Lakes took place in the months of October & November.
Internships concluded in the third week of November with a host of new companies
coming to campus this year. The companies where students interned were from
diverse industries. FMCG companies like Britannia, Dabur, Coke, Henkel,
Cavin Kare, ITC, GlaxoSmithkline, etc., gave interesting marketing and logistics
profiles, while manufacturing companies like TVS Motors, L&T, Tata Steel,
Volvo India, Voltas, etc., offered projects in the field of supply chain
management.
The Banking & Financial sector
companies that visited the campus included the likes of CITIBANK, Deutsche
Bank, UBS, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank, CRISIL, ICRA, DBS Cholamandalam,
Karvy Stock Broking and NCDEX. Although the IT industry is not in the best of
health due to the rupee value appreciating as against that of the dollar, offers
boomed for Great Lakers with multinationals like Microsoft, Symantec
Corporation, Frost & Sullivan, Castrol, Bharti and technology companies
like TCS, L&T Infotech, Satyam, Mphasis-EDS, Reach Technologies, Photon Infotech,

great diversity in the companies which offered internships," said Mr.
Swaminathan Murthy, Placement Director at Great Lakes.
