Most students think internships begin in the final year of college. However, many NEXIS students started gaining industry experience in their first year itself. Through internships with companies like ITC, Tata Motors, BeerBiceps, Campus Fund and others, students received early exposure to real business environments.
NEXIS students secured first-year internships across marketing, operations, strategy, content, business development and analytics roles. These opportunities helped students gain practical experience, build professional skills and understand different career paths early.
From Siliguri to Real Business Exposure
One of the biggest challenges for most students after Class 12 is exposure.
Students hear terms like marketing, branding, strategy, operations, and entrepreneurship all the time, but very few get to see how these functions actually work inside real companies.
That is why internships become so valuable.
Instead of only learning concepts in classrooms, students get the opportunity to observe how businesses make decisions, solve problems, manage teams, and communicate with customers.
The NEXIS Summer Internship Drive 2026 gave students exactly that opportunity.
While studying in Siliguri, students secured internships with companies and teams operating in Bangalore, Mumbai, Gurugram, and other major business hubs across the country.
Some students worked with established brands like ITC Foods and Tata Motors. Others joined fast-growing startups, creator-led businesses, and venture-focused organisations such as Campus Fund and BeerBiceps.
For many students, this was their first opportunity to interact with professionals working in different cities, industries, and business environments.
It also highlights an important shift. Today, meaningful opportunities are no longer limited by location. Students can build skills, gain experience, and develop professional networks far beyond their immediate surroundings, even during their first year.
For students pursuing a Business Management Program, this practical understanding often becomes one of the most valuable parts of their learning journey.
Real Students. Real Companies. Real Roles.
The Summer Internship Report 2026 highlights students from the undergraduate batch securing internships across multiple cities, industries, and business functions.
Some examples include:
- Shaswat Goyal working as an Operations Intern at ITC Foods in Bangalore
- Nishi Agarwal joining Tata Motors as a CRM & Digital Marketing Intern
- Daiwik Bansal working with BeerBiceps as a Content Editor
- Pranay Shah interning with ShUtuP Marketing as a Storytelling Executive
- Aarav Agarwal interning with Campus Fund as a Venture Scout
- Krish Agarwal joining Doodhvale Farms as a Business Strategy Intern
- Chirag Agrahari working in the Founder’s Office at The Energy Company
These are not classroom simulations. These are real roles with real responsibilities.
Why First-Year Internships Make Such a Difference
The value of an internship is not only what students do.
It is what students learn about themselves.
Many students enter college thinking they want a particular career. But after experiencing real work environments, their understanding becomes much clearer.
A student interested in finance may discover a passion for marketing.
Someone interested in startups may realize they enjoy operations or strategy more.
This kind of clarity is difficult to gain through theory alone.
That is why early Industry Exposure can be so powerful.
The Skills Students Build Beyond Academics
Companies today look beyond marks.
They look for students who can communicate clearly, work with teams, manage deadlines, and solve problems professionally.
Internships naturally help students build these skills.
Students learn how meetings work, how professional communication happens, how projects are managed, and how businesses operate on a daily basis.
These experiences often help students become more confident during interviews, presentations, networking events, and future placements.
Learning Across Different Industries
One of the most interesting parts of the internship cohort was the variety of opportunities students received.
Students worked across marketing, strategy, operations, content, analytics, social media, branding, and business development roles. They interned with startups, agencies, established brands, and growth-stage companies across Siliguri, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Gurugram.
This wide exposure helps students understand different industries before making long-term career decisions.
The NEXIS Approach to Practical Learning
At NEXIS School of Business, practical learning is an important part of the student experience.
Alongside academics, students are encouraged to work on projects, participate in competitions, attend industry sessions, and explore internship opportunities from an early stage.
The goal is simple: help students gain real-world understanding while they are still studying.
With Round 3 admissions currently open, many students and parents visiting the campus are looking more closely at learning environments that provide meaningful exposure beyond the classroom.
Because when students start learning through experience, they often develop confidence and career clarity much faster.
Final Thoughts
The Summer Internship Report 2026 shows what can happen when students are given opportunities early.
Students worked with recognised companies, explored different industries, built professional skills, and gained practical experience in their very first year.
For students exploring a Business Management Program, internships are not just about building a resume.
They are about understanding how businesses work, discovering personal strengths, and becoming more prepared for future opportunities.
And sometimes, that journey starts much earlier than most people expect.
