GIBS Business School Bangalore Answered Questions

I personally feel GIBS Business School is a better choice compared to IIBS. The exposure here is very different – from live projects, internships, and industry interactions to events that build confidence and leadership skills. The campus is vibrant, the environment is supportive, and there's a lot of focus on overall personality development along with academics.Placements are also quite strong, with many reputed companies coming in and good packages being offered. While IIBS is also a known college, at GIBS the kind of practical learning, recognition, and holistic growth you get really prepares you for the corporate world in the best way.
