From this, we can fairly say that an intern can not be given an option of recruitment for two years. In general, internship/ apprenticeship is part of
Unprofessional HR practice by the Indian School of Business. Please see below explanations: 1. According to Wikipedia, "An *intern* or *stagiaire* is one who works in a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, making it similar to an apprenticeship<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprenticeship>. Interns are usually college or university students, but they can also be high school students or post graduate adults seeking skills for a new career. Student internships provide opportunities for students to gain experience in their field, determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain school credit. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Intern <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern>). the coursework, as elaborated above and should be in general practised by even graduate courses in computer science, business administration, etc. 2. Internship is generally conducted to impart practical training to students, new graduates. However, the "Job Description" does not provide any scope for training, rather it provides list of tasks that the would be interns are required to deliver. In general such jobs are delivered by full time experienced professionals. This also becomes apparent from the odd duty hours given to the interns .......They are expected to work in shift system on a rotation basis since our Centre operates from 8 am to 2 am. However the working hours for Interns will be 81/2 hours per day and one weekly off will be given..." 3. And, a working hour of 8.5 would be mentally and physically challenging for an intern. It is not sure if the relevant state laws can permit this. In view of this, I hope IBS changes it practice of recruiting interns to do the works of full time staff workers. They should be able to adhere to professionalism of a business school and what they teach at their MBA classes. -- With kind regards _____________________ SANJEEV KUMAR JAIN Resource Centre/Library NIFT Campus, ITI Colony, Doorbhash Nagar Rae Bareli (U.P.) 209 010 Mobile: +91-94529-68706 Email: sanjeevmlis@yahoo.co.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
