The common reasons for rejection in GIBS admission rounds generally pertain to gaps in eligibility criteria, poor performance in selection stages, or overall mismatch with the needs of the selection process. Many applicants are rejected for not fulfilling the minimum prescribed academic eligibility or failing to submit valid entrance examination scores. Others fail at the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds due to their weak communication skills, lack of clarity regarding career goals, poor subject knowledge, or an unconvincing Statement of Purpose. Sometimes, candidates fail to present an overall strong profile with academic consistency, extracurricular engagement, or relevant experience, which gets them rated poorly against other candidates.

GIBS follows a well-structured and industry-oriented campus placement process for enabling students to secure good career opportunities. The placement season is conducted in different stages, starting with pre-placement preparation to final job offers.

• Company-specific registration: The student selects and registers for the companies they are interested in applying to, based on their eligibility and interest.
• Aptitude & Skill Assessments: A lot of companies conduct written tests, online assessments, or case-study challenges to shortlist candidates.
• Group Discussions: Students are shortlisted for GD rounds, wherein their teamwork, communication skills, and analytical skills will be tested.
• Technical or Functional Interviews: Companies conduct interviews in regard to the specialisation to test for subject knowledge, problem-solving skills, and domain expertise.
