Every MBA student at NU is guided by an Industry Mentor who is a reputed corporate leader of eminence. The Mentorship Program is built upon the premise that experiential inputs, macro-level insights and networking opportunities – all immensely necessary for a graduating MBA student – are best provided by senior corporate practitioners, and that too only in informal interactive settings. Accordingly, the Mentorship Program consists of a number of interactive sessions between the mentor and his designated students (typically, at most 4 students) where a dialogue takes place; since the mentor is completely aware and updated about the student’s background, performance and aspirations, these interactive sessions provide an exceptional opportunity for students to receive specific customised guidance from senior corporate leaders who have the greatest experience, insights and network. It is a matter of immense pride for NIIT University that the founding group of industry mentors consists of CEOs of some of the largest and most-reputed companies in the country.

The Mentorship Program also benefits from the concept of an Industry Coach – senior corporate executives each of whom typically guides two students – who is freely accessible to the student for advice and guidance on day-to-day issues. Thus, each student regularly receives the corporate practitioner’s perspective from two senior corporate leaders, the Mentor and the Coach, and benefit from their experience, world-view and contacts.
