When it comes to preparing for graduation, students at GIBS receive job placement training from day 1 rather than waiting until their last semester. GIBS has developed a continuous placement training model where students receive ongoing training in soft skills such as Communication, Resume Building, Interviewing Skills and Business Etiquette along with academic classes. As a result of extensive industry experience through Live Projects, Internships, Corporate Presentations, Industrial Visits and the IRE Program, students gain hands-on experience prior to being placed in full-time employment. The Faculty Mentors and dedicated Placement Staff provide individualised support based on the student's strengths and area of specialisation; therefore, GIBS places students in Roles that fit their skills rather than in Random Roles. Students arrive at their final placements industry-ready. Recruiters view these students as industry-ready and confident when recruiting; therefore, they view GIBS as compared with other Business Schools, as providing a continual stream of qualified candidates and a strong connection with Recruiters.

The PGDM programme at GIBS Business School is unique in its focus on practical learning and industry driven methods rather than theory alone. The programme provides dual specialisations so that students can study core areas of Marketing, Finance, HR or Operations and combine them with emerging fields such as Business Analytics, AI, Digital Marketing or International Business. Integration of live industry projects, hands-on learning through fieldwork, internships, corporate visits and case-based learning occur during all four years of the PGDM, meaning students have early real world exposure. Additional initiatives such as the IRE School (Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship), CEO talks on a regular basis, mentoring from alumni and skill-building workshops provide students with opportunities to develop leadership, communication and problem-solving skills. The PGDM at GIBS also has strong placement support along with personality development and global exposure opportunities; therefore, students completing the PGDM programme will be job-ready and prepared to become future leaders. Because of these factors, GIBS's management programme is different than other traditional management programs.

The GIBS Business School provides students with significant exposure to various industries in order to prepare them for final placement success and create job readiness, confidence, and alignment with the industry. From the outset of their programs, students are exposed to live projects within companies across multiple sectors through industry-related work experiences, field experiences, internships, case studies, etc. In addition to these experiential learning methods, GIBS students are able to listen to guest speakers from different industries, participate in corporate visits and talks, get to meet with alumni, and learn about current market conditions and what employers are looking for in successful candidates. Students also take part in initiatives like IRE (Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship) and attend workshop sessions focused on developing specific skills to add to their portfolio of experience. When it is time for each student to go into final placements, they will have practical experience, impressive resumes, reliable specialised knowledge, and the confidence necessary to interview successfully with prospective employers. All of these items will help them become more appealing candidates for employment and significantly increase the likelihood of receiving a job offer.
