AIESEC, in more than 60 years of existence, has tried to achieve, and succeeded, in its goal of creating IMPACT, either direct or indirect. The world’s largest student-run organization, aspires to see a borderless world with each person having the paramount cultural experience. The most efficient way of achieving this objective is exchange.

Our objective is to target the students of Manipal University, the global entrepreneurs of tomorrow, and help them enrich their education by providing them with a holistic international experience which would help them in their future endeavors. This initiative will challenge their worldview and help them gain a unique combination of multi-cultural, social and entrepreneurial experience during the formative years of their lives.


AIESEC International is responsible for the highest number of exchanges in the world. From Work Abroad Program for Technical Students to Global Entrepreneurs Program for a socio-cultural-entrepreneurial internship abroad for students looking to broaden and increase their cultural understanding and who genuinely believe in making the world a better place than it is.

AIESEC India did 2123 international exchanges, both incoming and outgoing in the year 2009. As there is equal importance of non-technical internships as there is of technical internships for engineering students, AIESEC is the perfect platform for them. AIESEC has been tapping potential of young and bright minds for over 60 years now. Its purely a student run organization and hence understands the needs of students better than any other provider can.

The aim of our Local Chapter in Manipal University is to provide the AIESEC experience to as many eager young minds as we can.

Suparna's XP!

Malaysia

My internship with AIESEC in Malaysia started on the 4th December, 2009. As part of the Global Entrepreneurs Program, I worked with the AIDS research foundation in Malayisa- the AARG in helping them form a partnership with AIESEC in Malaysia. In addition to this, I also conceptualized an awareness drive involving declamation, painting and slogan competitions for schools in and around Penang. My work in the field of HIV/AIDS helped me get the HIV Champion of the Month award, a true honour indeed! I also conducted sessions on the condition of AIDS in India, which was a very rewarding experience.

I am proud to say that I chose AIESEC as a way to explore my potential and experience a great international internship. This exchange program not only gave me work exposure but also helped me discover myself as a person. I learnt a lot of things apart from my work field, made a lot of friends and also saw and felt the different culture of Malaysia. It has been a splendid experience to have worked with so many influential people in the field of HIV/AIDS and to have met the passionate and driven AIESECers as well.

I would like to thank AIESEC in Manipal University and AIESEC in Malaysia for giving me the chance to prove myself and also doing my bit towards HIV/AIDS.

THANK YOU AIESEC!
