“In contrast to other MBA schools sending their students for Summer Internships, SPJIMR pioneered the concept of 'Autumns' wherein the two-year full-time PGDM participants go for their compulsory corporate internship during the months of September and October in the second year of the MBA program,” the MBA school said and added that the summers at SPJIMR are marked with social projects with NGOs.
