Ans. The Summer Internship Program (SIP) at RMS Business School is a mandatory 6-8 week program where Aviation Management students work with leading airlines, airports, and aviation organizations. This internship provides practical exposure to real-world aviation challenges, airline operations, airport management systems, and aviation service delivery. Students apply classroom concepts to live business scenarios, gaining hands-on experience in airline scheduling, passenger operations, airport terminal management, and aviation customer service. After completion, students submit a detailed internship report and presentation evaluated by faculty and industry mentors. The SIP is crucial for Aviation Management students because it bridges the gap between academic learning and industry requirements, enhances employability, and often leads to full-time job offers from aviation organizations.

Many students join the PGDM Aviation Management program right after graduation to gain specialized management skills and industry exposure before entering the aviation sector. The admission process evaluates candidates based on their entrance exam scores, academic performance, and performance in the group discussion and personal interview rounds, not on work experience.
