Business Management Studies

At Lovely Professional University, the dress code for MBA students is designed to instill professionalism and prepare them for corporate environments. The university expects students to wear formal or semi-formal attire during classes, presentations, seminars, workshops, and corporate interactions. For male students, this generally includes formal shirts paired with trousers, ties if required, and polished closed shoes. Grooming, including neat hair and trimmed facial hair, is also emphasized to maintain a professional appearance. For female students, formal or semi-formal outfits such as shirts with trousers or skirts, salwar suits, or business suits are recommended, along with minimal accessories and modest styling. The dress code is not merely about appearance; it reflects the university's focus on creating a professional mindset among management students. Formal attire helps students develop confidence, discipline, and a sense of responsibility, all of which are essential for thriving in corporate roles. During group discussions, presentations, guest lectures, and placement activities, adhering to the dress code ensures students make a positive impression on faculty, industry experts, and recruiters. While formal attire is mandatory for most academic and official occasions, LPU allows smart casual clothing for informal events, extracurricular activities, or cultural programs, as long as it remains neat and presentable. Students are encouraged to maintain personal hygiene, polished shoes, and tidy grooming at all times. Overall, LPU's MBA dress code emphasizes professionalism, confidence, and readiness for the corporate world. By following these guidelines, students not only enhance their appearance but also internalize workplace standards, helping them succeed during internships, placements, and their future careers.

GIBS supports student projects, research projects, and entrepreneurial ventures on their new campus through a multi-layered approach that integrates academic mentoring with experiential learning through industry interaction and exposure to real world situations.

Project and Research Mentoring – Faculty members serve as mentors for students in their areas of expertise. Mentors work with students to formulate research questions, develop the methodology for projects, gather data, analyze their findings, and present them in research papers and presentations. Mentors provide regular feedback on student projects and oversee the progress of students through their thesis review and research review processes. Many times the outcome of these projects can result in a published paper or participation in a research conference.

Live Industry Projects – GIBS partners with corporations to provide students with actual business challenges and problems to solve through their industry studies. Live industry projects develop a range of skills including analytical reasoning, decision-making, and execution skills. GIBS follow-up on all projects by allowing students to present their findings to an audience of industry experts.

IRE Platform (Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship) – IRE is GIBS's flagship initiative that provides students with hands-on learning opportunities. The IRE platform enables students to conceptualize their business ideas, test their business plans, develop and construct their minimum viable products, and receive feedback on their projects from industry experts. Activities related to IRE include bootcamps, ideate challenges, pitching events and workshops on entrepreneurship tools and methods.

Entrepreneurial Events and Competitions – GIBS hosts numerous entrepreneurial events (i.e., hackathons, pitch days, and IRE Talks) that provide opportunities for students to connect and interact with founders, investors and leaders in the industry to gain insight into their startup ideas and receive real-time feedback.

Industry Connections and Networking - GIBS provides students with multiple opportunities to connect to the business community on campus.
