All students are required to undertake Special Projects after the first semester of the program at Cygnus Business Consulting & Research.

Special Projects focus on analytical study and research on various companies/ industries. The objective is to provide students "On-the-Job Training" opportunity through involvement in real- time projects.

Main features of Special Projects

  • Opportunity for the students to contribute 3 weeks of full-time work, during their study at ISFS. 

  • The students are guided and evaluated on a continuous basis by faculty members of ISFS and senior executives from Cygnus, who act as mentors. 

  • Special Projects require students to pursue detailed study and analysis of the specific company/industry through intensive discussions with executives and consultants. This is supplemented by literature survey and library research.

Internship leads to applying knowledge to work, developing application skills, and gaining practical hands-on work experience. It helps students experience the rigors of work place.
