Colleges in Bangalore

Students are trained to be leaders through academic classes, hands-on experiences and a set curriculum for developing their leadership abilities. The curriculum consists of case studies, group projects, presentations and management simulations in order for students to develop decision making capabilities, problem solving and strategic thinking abilities.

Students have the opportunity to assume active roles on campus by participating in clubs, planning events and being involved with school initiatives, which provide them with real leadership experiences due to their involvement with managing teams and responsibilities. Workshops regularly held on topics such as effective communication, personality development and corporate etiquette reinforce students' confidence and interpersonal skills.

Furthermore, students gain valuable insight into real-world business scenarios through mentorship from both professors as well as people who are considered leaders within the industry, internship opportunities and live/ongoing project work provide students with practical experience in leadership development and industry contacts that will assist them in developing the skill set and the mindset necessary to be successful leaders and managers in the corporate business environment.

GIBS Business School uses a systematic mentoring programme that guides students through the entire academic journey. Each student is paired with a faculty mentor who regularly assists them on an individual basis with academic support, pathway to an appropriate career, and personal development. The faculty mentor is expected to assist the mentee in SWOT analysis, goal establishment (for a career), and overcoming obstacles both academically and professionally.

Students will also interact with industry mentors and business executives through guest speaker events, workshops and leadership forums. These successful individuals can provide students with valuable real-world information and insight into the various facets of a career, industry expectations, and the skills necessary to be successful.

To ensure that students remain on track for academic success and placement readiness, regular feedback and performance appraisals will be conducted between students and their mentors as well as with career-based counselors. By using a total mentoring approach, GIBS assists students in their development by increasing their confidence, clarity, and readiness for their chosen profession during their time at GIBS.
