Business Analytics

I feel GIBS is different because college life here isn't just about going to classes and preparing for exams. There's a good balance between studies, practical learning and other activities.

• You get to be involved in clubs, fests, competitions and sports, so there's always something happening apart from academics.

• Things like presentations, events and group activities also help you become more confident and improve the way you communicate.

• There are industry interactions, guest sessions, projects and internships, which give you a better idea of what the actual corporate world is like.

• Career preparation is also given importance, especially when you start thinking about internships and placements.

• There are also opportunities to explore areas like entrepreneurship, innovation and different skill-based activities.

Personally, I think that's what makes GIBS appealing. You're not just studying for a degree; you get opportunities to try different things, meet new people and slowly build the confidence and skills you'll need after college.

I studied at GIBS Bangalore, and honestly, my experience there was pretty good. What I liked was that college wasn't only about sitting in class and giving exams. We had internships, events, industry visits, projects and different activities, so I got to learn a lot outside the classroom too.

The faculty were also helpful whenever I needed them. If I had doubts or was confused about something, I could just go and talk to them. The placement preparation and guidance also helped me feel more prepared.

One thing I noticed about myself was that I became much more confident over time. I got to meet different people, take part in activities and slowly became more comfortable speaking and interacting with others. Overall, I'm happy with the experience I had at GIBS.
