Shivam Kumar Receives Two Internship Offers at Physics Wallah

Shivam had two different opportunities to consider at Physics Wallah. One was in B2G Marketing, while the other was in Program Management, giving him options across two distinct business functions.

Shivam chose the Program Manager Intern role, beginning his professional experience with the higher-stipend opportunity. The selected role gives him an entry point into the program management side of a working organisation.

Why Is the Program Manager Internship an Important Step for Shivam?

Program management sits close to the execution side of a business. Depending on the organisation, the field can involve coordinating different parts of a program, keeping activities aligned, working with teams, and helping initiatives move towards their intended outcomes.

For Shivam, beginning with a Program Management Internship gives him exposure to a management function that can connect with several areas of a business.

It also allows him to understand a professional environment from a different perspective than a purely marketing-focused role. This can become useful as he develops a clearer sense of the management functions he may want to pursue further.

Where Can Program Management Experience Take Shivam?

An internship does not determine a student’s entire career path, but it can provide an early view of the roles and responsibilities available within a field.

Program management experience can be relevant when exploring future Program Manager Jobs, while some of the broader skills associated with the field can also overlap with a Project Management Internship or Operations Internship.

For students considering Management Jobs for Freshers, exposure to these functions can help them understand how different teams, projects, and business priorities connect.

Shivam’s Physics Wallah internship gives him a starting point to develop that understanding while gaining his first professional experience in Program Management.

What Helps PW IOI Students Prepare for Management Opportunities?

Management roles require students to understand business concepts as well as how those concepts translate into decisions, communication, and execution. The PW IOI learning and career ecosystem includes support across different stages of this preparation.

• Applied Business Learning: Practical projects and business-led problems help students move beyond theoretical management concepts.

• Industry Perspectives: Mentorship from professionals provides exposure to workplace expectations and different career functions.

• Interview Preparation: Students can access 1:1 coaching and interview preparation while preparing for internship and job selection processes.

• Placement Assistance: The PW IOI placement ecosystem connects students with opportunities across management, marketing, technology, and other domains.

For students such as Shivam, this creates opportunities to consider different roles and begin identifying where their interests can fit within the professional world.

For Shivam Kumar, a SOM'24 student from Bangalore, receiving two internship offers gave him an early opportunity to choose the direction he wanted to pursue. By selecting the Rs. 15,000/month Program Manager Internship at Physics Wallah, he is beginning to gain experience on the management and execution side of a business. His journey also shows how PW IOI can provide students with practical exposure, career guidance, and access to opportunities across different business functions as they work towards their professional goals.
