Satisfied with the college because of the faculty, people, infrastructure, placements, and events.
Placements: 100% of the 2021–23 batch was placed after the completion of the course. The average package was 4 LPA, with 7 LPA being the highest.
The top recruiting companies were HDB Financial Services, CCD Beverages, BCG, Jindal Steel and Power, and Ivy Home.
90–100% of students received internship assistance, with Ivy Home being the major company hiring.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is splendid. It is compact and well-maintained. The college has 2 buildings, one of which is still being planned. The main building consists of the administrative block and classrooms for both the PDGM and the BBA batches, as well as a library that has a wide array of books from various disciplines, which is just an underrated gold mine. The classrooms and the college have Wi-Fi and the auditorium and the seminar hall have A/CS. A classroom capacity of 80–100 students that is thoroughly cleaned and maintained every day. The other building (WIP) is going to be used for a gym room, a multi-cuisine cafeteria and an indoor games room. The hostels are clean, well-lit, and comfortable to live in. The hostels also have Wi-Fi. The girls' hostel is situated behind the college (attached to it) and the boys hostel is at a distance of 1 km and they get the transportation of a college bus. The food available in the mess is very unique and is constantly changing. You get both North Indian and South Indian food for breakfast, which you can choose from, and for lunch and dinner, it is common. The students can set the menu for the entire month based on what they want to eat and when. The food keeps on changing and you won't have to eat the same thing every day. It follows a buffet system where you can eat as much as you want. The college has an amphitheater that has turf planted and badminton nets so that students can play badminton or volleyball according to their preference. The terrace with the amazing view has the facility to play box cricket and basketball.
Faculty: The teachers are one of a kind at GIBS Bangalore; not only are they kind and extremely qualified ( with their respective Ph.D.s), but they are also helpful and great orators who can teach eloquently and make us understand concepts faster and better. The teachers are not just teachers; they are like friends, easy to approach, fun to talk to, and they share problems, if any. They are different from other teachers, not just in the class but outside the class as well. The course curriculum follows the Bangalore University curriculum, which follows NEP, making the course relevant with the right amount of importance given to new-age technologies as well as the fundamental concepts of various disciplines. Along with the GIBS, it adds its own IRE programme and GFS programme that are intended to make you a serial entrepreneur by helping you understand the process of searching, innovation, and expecting on the IRE conference day. The GFS programme helps you become a better orator, improve your personality and body language, and prepare for interviews, which makes you completely industry-ready by the end of 3 years. The semester exams' difficulty lies between moderate and difficult, depending upon the student's preparation. It has a great structure and pattern that does not let you only mug up all the answers but also forces you to understand the concept and its utility in the world, making it industry-oriented. The pass percentage at GIBS Business School is 80–100%.
Other: I chose this course because BBA enables me to understand the intricacies of businesses and their fundamentals, which will help me in my entrepreneurial journey. BBA also has a wide scope as it does not commit to any one subject; hence, it lets me enjoy learning about different subjects, from AI to environment science (sustainability). This also gives me the freedom to choose any subject I want to specialize in. Since BBA at GIBS follows NEP, it allows me to stay updated with the knowledge relevant to today's times. It involves a lot of problem-solving, case studies, making research papers, and participating in management festivals happening at other colleges, as well as being organized in our college, where we develop industry-standard skills to use in completing courses with colleges all over India. If given a chance to improve anything about the course, I would bring in practical simulation as a part of the subjects being taught. So that you are not only studying but also knowing where and how it is being used. Many of us know what OTC (Over the counter) is, but we don't know how it works in the real world or how we can access it, etc. Unless we are exposed to that,. Fundamental knowledge + practical simulation will keep us aware of the real-world implications much better. We organize our national-level management festival called Enchainer and also participate in other management and cultural festivals. It provides us with practical exposure, helping us stimulate our fundamentals. The crowd is amazing, with the majority of them being from outside Bangalore. The peer group is helpful, active, and progressive, which improves your attitude and performance. The college is connected to Akshaynagar, which has everything from street food to KFC to supermarkets.
