Business Management Studies

From what I have seen, GIBS makes the admission process pretty easy for international students. The team actually guides you step by step for documents, fee payment, visa process, and even small doubts about accommodation and travel. A few of my classmates from abroad shared that they didn't feel lost because the counsellors kept in touch through calls and emails.

Once you join, the campus culture is also friendly so you don't feel out of place. They mix academics with a lot of activities, so settling in becomes smoother. I honestly feel GIBS tries to give a proper global exposure environment, not just for Indian students, but also for international ones.

From my experience at GIBS, internships and industry projects are not just “mandatory, ” they are kind of the whole vibe here. We don't just study theory and sit for exams — the college actually pushes us to go out and do things in real companies. For PGDM especially, we have internships, live projects, case competitions, and consulting-type assignments that connect directly to what we're learning. I personally liked that we got to choose sectors we were interested in, so it didn't feel forced.

Honestly, it helped a lot with confidence during placements because you already have something to talk about in interviews — instead of saying “I learned this in class, ” you can say “I worked on this during my internship” or “we did this for XYZ company.” I feel that's one big reason GIBS grads are not clueless about corporate expectations. So yeah, it's mandatory but in a good way — it actually prepares you instead of just filling credits.
