Testimonials - College

Chetna Gandhi - Corporate Relations Manager, MICA Ahmedabad

We collaborated with Skill promise to impart employment readiness training to our 1st-year students for their summer internship program and 2nd Year students who were to be graduated in the year 2022 for their final placements. Mr. Vikas Mehra, founder of skill promise, and his team of mentors have conducted various sessions with the batch, which helped our students to stay positive, confident and perform better in their placement processes. They received valuable inputs on their CVs, internships, introductions. The overall activities, like Mock PI, GDs, etc., were very incisive. Skill promise understands the placement preparation process well and offers a great value proposition

Testimonials - Students

Sanchita Gupta - IIFT, Delhi, 2020 – 2022 Intern, Microsoft

I am Sanchita Gupta, currently pursuing MBA in International Business from IIFT, Delhi. Throughout my MBA stint and also prior to that, I have often leveraged the content on Skillpromise platform for preparation at different stages. Though all the sections have been hugely beneficial for me, based on my interest and aspirations. Two segments from which I have personally benefitted a lot from are those of Guesstimates and Cast Study Analysis. Anyone pursuing a career in Consulting would know that there are plenty of resources on the internet which teach us about Consulting frameworks and methodologies. But what is really important while solving case studies or guesstimate questions during an interview is how well you break down the given problem into smaller bits to reach a solution and how you structure the approach and this is what Skillpromise has helped me a lot with.

Sakshi Jha - MICA, Ahmedabad, 2021 - 2023

I am Sakshi Jha. I am a first-year student at MICA. For our summer placements, we received the guidance from Skillpromise for refining our employment readiness skills. They gave us pro tips on organizing our CVs, trained us to create an impact in group discussions and taught us to keep our cool in the interviews. The online and one-on-one mentoring given on aspects like CV building, internship pitch, self-introduction was very effective. The LMS resources also guided me to project the best version of myself in Behavioural questions, HR questions and guesstimates. After getting trained by Skillpromise, I felt a significant rise in my confidence level, and I would give them a large share of the credit for my successful Summer Internship. I am really grateful to Skillpromis
