Students at GIBS, which is considered the "Trampoline Board of International Businesses", are generally put into various occupations across a multitude of different worldwide industries that include Information Technology (IT) & IT Enabled Services (ITES), Banking Financial Services Insurance (BFSI), Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Retail Trade, E-commerce, Consulting, and Manufacturing. In addition to those categories, many common functions include positions in marketing and sales executives; business analysts; human resources executives; finance associates; and operations groups as well. The GIBS Business School Placement Cell has a vital role in preparing students for these varied employment opportunities through continuous training via programs such as Cultural Professional Development Programs (Finishing Schools), which provide training on communication skills; aptitude; and personal preparation for job searches. They also conduct mock interviews with participants, facilitate group discussions, build resumes with the participants, and host industry interaction sessions to assist graduates in finding employment after graduation. Through utilizing placements along with providing hands-on practical exposure to activities through the use of thoroughly organized schedules are two ways that the GIBS Business School Placement Cell can ensure that graduates will meet the expectations of their employers in today's demanding work settings.
