GIBS Business School has a strong emphasis on practical education and the preparation of students for their future careers. For this reason, GIBS provides frequent opportunities for students to engage in industry visits, guest speaker talks, and alumni sessions throughout the academic year.Scheduled Industry Visits occur approximately monthly and align with specific course modules or live projects, allowing students the opportunity to experience firsthand the actual environment and operations of the organization, as well as understand its culture.Guest Speaker/Talk Series and Corporate Presentations are offered monthly (or bi-monthly) by way of an expert or industry professional, who shares valuable insight regarding current trends and practices in their field/career.GIBS regularly schedules Alumni Interactions and Panels with its graduates. In these sessions, graduates share their success stories, mentoring advice, guidance on placement options, and networking opportunities with students currently enrolled at GIBS. Interaction and networking with graduates currently in the business world help students gain a broader and deeper understanding of the current business climate. By scheduling these sessions, GIBS will continue to provide students with an ongoing opportunity to connect with and be open to new opportunities.

They don't just wait for companies to come; they train students with mock interviews, skill sessions, internships, and constant guidance, so people feel more confident during placements.Another big plus is the variety of companies. Students aren't limited to just one field there are opportunities in marketing, finance, HR, IT, banking, and even startups. That gives everyone a fair chance to find a role that suits them.The salary packages are also decent for a PGDM college in Bangalore not unrealistic promises, but solid offers that make the fees feel worth it. Overall, GIBS feels more supportive and practical compared to many colleges where placements are left mostly to luck.

At GIBS campus, weekends are busy, bright and energetic, and mix activity with healthy relaxing time. Friendly sports tournaments such as cricket, football, badminton or playing indoor games provide an environment for building strong relationships and healthy competition amongst students. This is supported by a spectrum of extra-curricular activities - cultural festivals/clubs, music/dance practice and informal celebrations. The Mind Valley's lush green campus also enables students to have quiet relaxation through lawns, paved walkway areas SEATING AREAS, and an opportunity for students to be creative, have fun and unwind together, while also enjoying the benefits of mother nature. All these attributes make weekends @GIBS to be both exhilarating and invigorating.

GIBS is pretty flexible when it comes to entrance exams. They accept almost all the common management tests — CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, State CET, and even GMAT. In my batch itself, we had students who came through different exams, not just GIBS is pretty flexible when it comes to entrance exams. They accept almost all the common management tests — CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, State CET, and even GMAT. In my batch itself, we had students who came through different exams, not just CAT.Honestly, that's one thing I liked about GIBS — they don't restrict the admission chances to only one or two exams. If you've taken any recognised management entrance, it counts. After that, they focus more on your overall profile, interview, and how serious you are about management studies, which makes the process feel fair rather than purely score-driven.

The GIBS campus has been set up to help facilitate holding large events including cultural festivals and placement drives with easier and more professional procedures than before. An upgraded infrastructure includes larger auditoriums, up-to-date seminar halls, open event venues, and flexible indoor/outdoor areas all offering the correct size and types of technical assistance required for success (e.g., Sound Systems, Lighting, Seating) associated with such events. Additionally, Good Connectivity (via High-Speed Wireless Internet) and spacious areas where groups can collaborate and receive Support create a much smoother environment in which recruiters, human resources personnel, and students can participate in Placement Drives. Specifically, the development of well-organized Group Discussion Rooms, Interview Rooms, and Presentation Areas supports a more efficient Placement Drive process; thus providing enhanced comfort level to all participants, (students included) and improved logistical ease surrounding the placement drive. Overall, this development provides the GIBS Academic Community with the added benefit of Improved Quality, Comfort and Logistics with respect to both Individual Educational Activities as well as Major Events Related To Industry Engagements.

At GIBS, one of the key tips that have continually aided students in attaining leading positions is "to treat every class, homework and mock interviews as though they were real corporate settings." Faculty at GIBS stress the importance of acting professionally in their daily lives from being on time, dressing appropriately to preparing structured answers with data support. GIBS prepares students to act, speak and respond in a manner akin to the behaviours and attitudes of their prospective employers prior to their placement (i.e. establishing confidence, clarity and adaptability), which makes students stand out to recruiters in interviews and evaluations.

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.

Honestly, this was one of the biggest surprises for me at GIBS. Instead of just theory, they make you work on live projects and case studies literally from the first trimester, so you start thinking like you're already in the corporate world. Honestly, this was one of the biggest surprises for me at GIBS. Instead of just theory, they make you work on live projects and case studies literally from the first trimester, so you start thinking like you're already in the corporate world. Plus, the corporate talks are not just motivational sessions — they actually expose you to how companies work, how decisions are made, and what skills matter in placements. For me, this mix really helped during interviews because I wasn't just answering from textbooks, I could connect it to real examples. It kind of bridges that awkward gap between classroom learning and placements in a very natural way, and I personally felt more confident showing up in placement rounds because of that.

Engagement and attendance are highly valued within the GIBS academic environment because they support the institute's focus on experiential, industry-based education. The structured approach to academics at GIBS mandates regular attendance; students must attend class in order to participate in live interactions, discussion of cases, simulated learning, guest lectures, and hands-on experience in projects that cannot be simulated by study alone. Therefore, GIBS promotes active student engagement in class discussions, presentations of concepts and ideas, working collaboratively in teams, and engaging with both faculty and industry leaders. Active engagement in classes supports GIBS in building students' confidence, enhancing communication skills, and improving students' readiness for the business world. In addition to supporting internal assessments at GIBS, faculty observe, support, and mentor students who demonstrate active participation. Regularly attending class demonstrates professionalism, which GIBS strives to achieve; GIBS encourages students to view attendance as an important mechanism for personal development, success academically, and preparation for successful placement.
