GIBS Business School Bangalore Answered Questions

GIBS keeps a good balance between academics and extracurricular by implementing a well-thought-out daily schedule that keeps both learning and student life active. Classes are regularly scheduled with established timelines, taught in a practical way, so students are able to concentrate on their studies without feeling overwhelmed. Also, GIBS uses events such as clubs, sports, cultural events, guest speakers and leadership sessions as a part of their overall development in addition to the typical academic calendar and not merely as distractions. Faculty members support students in managing their time to allow them to excel in their studies in addition to activities. A balance between academics and activities provides students with the ability to maintain academic success while building their confidence, teamwork, communication skills and ability to manage stress during their time in college.

GIBS supports students in becoming job-ready professionals through industry exposure and significantly enhances their chance of receiving good placement offers. To achieve this, GIBS will provide students with off-campus activities including industry visits, guest lectures, live projects, internships, and interactions with corporate professionals to enhance the understanding of real-world challenges rather than just learning concepts at school. These activities also help develop practical skills in communication, problem-solving, working with others and making decisions, all of which are highly sought after by employers. Employers often evaluate candidates during internships and based on performance in live projects; many of these candidates receive pre-placement offers (PPO). Regular exposure to experts helps current students to be familiar with what is happening in the marketplace, including what are the expectations for candidates during interviews and provides increased confidence during recruitment drives. In addition, meeting business leaders during corporate events and alumni events opens up possibilities for a job opportunity or a referral. Overall, by graduating with real-world experience, a network of contacts and job-readiness, graduates have greatly increased their ability to be successfully placed in a job that is appropriate to their academic specialization.

Honestly ya, they do guide personally. Like in my case, during internships & projects I was literally asking doubts every 2 days  and they didn't make it weird. They actually sit and help you figure stuff instead of just saying “manage yourself.”Even for future plans, some of us were talking about higher studies & switching domains, and faculty actually gave proper direction instead of those generic “all the best” types. Felt more like mentorship than just normal teaching.So ya in GIBS you're not just left to survive on your own. They make sure you know what you're doing and where you're going.
