The GIBS new campus has created new opportunities for me to concentrate in my everyday work as well as my times away from studies with its peaceful atmosphere, its neatness and organisation of space. Having modern lecture rooms with ample light, air conditioning and quality technology ensure I have a suitable classroom to concentrate on my studies; similarly there are many quiet study areas which allow me to concentrate while studying alone after having studied with other students in class. After lectures, my opportunity to re-energise will be provided by the use of the green areas, open spaces, recreational facilities and comfortable communal areas; there are therefore plenty of choices of places where I can relax and clear my mind and be able to concentrate again for my following class or assignment submission. The mix of formal study areas and informal recreation areas keeps me on track with regard to my studies and helps me to feel motivated, relaxed, and productive throughout the day.

The GIBS Business School faculty possess a diverse combination of both academic achievement and experience in a variety of industries that enhances learning and gives it practical applicability. Many of the core and full-time faculty have earned advanced degrees (Ph.D.; MBA; PGDM; M.Phil.; or master's degree) from distinguished universities and management schools as well as spending time at some of the world's the finest institutions, such as the IIMs and NITs. In addition, a number of the professors have had extensive teaching and professional experience — typically between 10 and 30 years, with a focus on roles in marketing, finance, analytics, HR, strategy, entrepreneurship, etc., therefore providing a connection between theoretical concepts and application in the market. The faculty also works closely with visiting faculty, international trainers and guest speakers who are CEOs, CXOs or owners of their companies, which provides another dimension to the education being offered by offering real-time business expertise and practical information for implementation in the marketplace. Overall, faculty members connect academic research with industry experience, allowing students to benefit from both theoretical and practical perspectives of learning.

The Return on Investment (ROI) at GIBS Business School for Students: For the PGDM/MBA program, tuition is approximately ₹8.50-₹9.50 Lakhs for two years (not including hostel/other expenses). Our current placement data show average salaries received during the last recruitment cycle, which were ₹7.40-₹8.20 Lacs per annum (lpa), with top package (s) of approximately ₹16.15-₹20 LPA and, thus, students will typically have recovered outlays after one year of employment (after tax) - thus demonstrating a relatively high ROI in comparison to private B-schools.The BBA programme has total tuition of roughly ₹4.60 Lakhs. Based on employment results for recent graduating classes, average salary ranges are approximately ₹4 - ₹6 Lacs per annum (as documented in numerous placement reports). Given this, a positive ROI will likely be obtained within 1-2 years after completing their degrees.In conclusion, given the relatively modest cost of attendance at GIBS relative to other B-schools in Bangalore and mid-tier employment outcomes, both the PGDM/MBA and BBA offer good to high ROIs. Most graduates quickly recoup tuition expenses, and many are able to earn good salaries shortly after beginning their careers.

It's not just about saying “global exposure” on brochures — they actually bring people from outside. We had MIT alumni, global speakers, and faculty from abroad conducting bootcamps, workshops, and sessions. Some of us even got to work on cross-cultural projects and presentations with them, which really pushes you to think beyond the Indian market. GIBS also has academic tie-ups and exchange opportunities, especially for those who want to explore entrepreneurship or international business. It builds confidence because you start seeing how business works in other countries, not just from textbooks. Personally, I feel it helped broaden my mindset and made the whole PGDM journey more global and industry-oriented rather than typical classroom learning.

The classrooms became more interactive, the library became a proper study zone, and there are more spaces for discussions and group work now. Even the teaching feels more practical with case studies, activities, and corporate-style sessions happening regularly. The new campus gives a modern and serious business school vibe where workshops, talks, and placement-related sessions feel more professional. Overall, the facilities and setup make learning more real and connected to the industry, not just theory.

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.

How do GIBS faculty turn regular classes into real-world projects with industry guest speakers?

At GIBS, faculty don't keep classes just theoretical. They keep connecting topics to real corporate situations and then turn those into small projects, assignments, or case studies that we work on as teams. Many of our sessions are followed by At GIBS, faculty don't keep classes just theoretical. They keep connecting topics to real corporate situations and then turn those into small projects, assignments, or case studies that we work on as teams. Many of our sessions are followed by guest talks where someone from the industry explains how the same concept works in actual companies, which makes it easier to understand and apply. Because of this format, classes feel more like exposure and training rather than just notes and PPTs. As a student, I personally like this method because it gives confidence for internships and placements and makes the subjects more practical and interesting.

Students consistently describe GIBS faculty as being involved and supportive of students through events, during sessions on-orientation and mentoring on campus. At orientation programs, professors have been described as approachable guides, helping new students better understand the program's curriculum, expectations, and learning culture, easing their transition into management studies and building their confidence towards the program. At events and interactive sessions, faculty have often acted as moderators/mentors/judges, sharing real-world experiences and encouraging active student participation in the learning process. Many students have mentioned that they can contact their professors outside class hours for questions and support regarding their projects and career paths, and that the faculty fosters an environment of learning and development.
