Yes, students are allowed to work off-campus while studying at the EDHEC Business School. This is provided they stay within the allowed working hour limits in France. Indian students are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week or 964 hours per year.

Chitkara Business School at Chitkara University (located near Chandigarh on the Chandigarh-Patiala National Highway) stands out through a strong blend of mandatory technology integration hands on experiential learning and deep corporate connectivity.

Yes, GIBS has orientation activities to help new students get comfortable when they join. It's a good way to understand how the college works and start getting to know your classmates. Since everyone comes from different backgrounds, these sessions also make it easier to interact and settle in during the first few days.

• Introduction to the college and its academic programs

• Meeting faculty members and classmates

• Getting familiar with campus facilities and student activities

I feel this kind of start makes a difference because you don't feel completely lost in a new environment, and you can slowly get comfortable with college life.

No, you don't necessarily need work experience to apply for PGDM/MBA at GIBS Bangalore. Freshers can apply as well. I studied at GIBS, and from what I've seen, both freshers and people with work experience are considered.

 Work experience can be a plus in your profile, but it's not compulsory. I'd just Suggest check the current eligibility details once before applying.

Yes, students do need work experience for Hult International Business School UAE MBA, but general Master's programs have varying requirements where some require little to no experience.

For MBA program, Hult asks for a minimum of 3 years of professional work experience. For standard Master's programs, the work experience requirement varies between 1 to 3 or more years.

I studied at GIBS Bangalore, and the placement support was quite helpful from my experience. We had guidance for interviews, communication, resume preparation and overall career preparation.

• Placement mentoring and guidance

• Resume and interview preparation

• Mock interviews and practice sessions

• Industry interactions and guest sessions

• Support during the placement process

I personally found this useful because I got placed after my PGDM, and I was able to secure an ₹11 LPA opportunity with an MNC. So for me, the placement preparation at GIBS definitely helped.
