In most B.Com in Information Systems Management (ISM) curricula, internships are an integral part of the course. Internships usually expose students to real-world practice in managing information systems-the core of the course. Students engaging in internships get the chance to relate theoretical knowledge from the classroom environment to practical business situations and, hence, improve their skills in technology, data management, and system operations.
The internship helps students develop necessary soft skills in communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, all of which are highly important in the IT and business sectors. Many universities and colleges partner with companies to offer internship placements, and some have a mandatory internship requirement for graduation. This is very hands-on experience for the students, as it gives them a competitive advantage in the job market and shows them how businesses use information systems to grow and become more efficient.
