I can speak from my own experience at GIBS Bangalore. For me, the difference was that college life was not just about classes, exams and assignments.

• We had IRE activities where we could work on our own ideas and actually put some thought into them.

• CPMP helped me a lot with communication, confidence and getting comfortable with interviews.

• We had industry people coming in for talks and sessions, which gave us a chance to hear things from people working in the field.

• Events and other college activities kept us involved and gave us plenty of chances to interact with people.

• The faculty were approachable, so it was easy to ask for help whenever I was stuck.

• And personally, I got placed through GIBS, so the placement support was something I experienced myself.

Overall, I feel GIBS gave me a good college experience along with the skills and confidence I needed when I stepped into the working world.
