In today's competitive world, practical experience is as crucial as theoretical knowledge. This unique combination of theory and experience helps a candidate stand out. We at SIMC's Student Projects’ Cell aim to provide the same competitive advantage for our students.

The Students’ Project Cell is a pioneering initiative that aims to provide students with real-world exposure and opportunities for professional growth.

As the first C-School to introduce the concept of live projects, we are committed to fostering a bridge between academia and industry.

A live project is a part-time internship wherein the students get to work for different organizations parallel to their academic curriculum. These projects include many job profiles ranging from brand communication, and social media marketing to PR, content writing and many more. SIMC being a C (Communication) school, these job profiles come under the purview of media and communications. The duration of these live projects typically ranges from 1 to 3 months, allowing students to gain real-world job experience parallel to their classroom studies. The live projects are conducted remotely and students generally dedicate three hours of their time to these projects.

The Student Projects’ cell is a student body dedicated to finding relevant live projects that align with the media industry & help the students to gain a better understanding of the industry. The cell members proactively scout for live projects from diverse industries, ensuring they align with the skills and interests of our students. We facilitate a seamless application and onboarding process, ensuring students are smoothly embedded into their respective projects. By maintaining clear communication and offering continuous support, we ensure that each student is well-prepared and confident as they embark on their project journey. Throughout the process, we gather feedback from both students and companies to evaluate the project's success and identify opportunities for improvement.

Our mission is to create a platform where students can apply their classroom learning to real-life challenges and build valuable industry connections.

We strive to scout for live projects that align with the student's interests and skill sets. We facilitate communication by ensuring seamless interaction between students and prospective employers and clarifying project requirements and expectations. We assess project progress by monitoring the progress of live projects and providing guidance and support to students and clients. We collect feedback from them to continuously improve our services and processes.

Over the past year, the Student Projects' Cell has performed exceptionally well, bringing over 39 companies on board, each offering a variety of roles. As a result, more than 100 students were able to participate in these projects and gain valuable real-world work experience.

SIMC's Student Project Cell stands as a distinct initiative, offering students exceptional opportunities for transformative growth and development. By forging a powerful connection between academia and industry, we are not just preparing our students for the future—we are shaping them into visionary leaders and innovators who will redefine tomorrow.
