Colleges in India

I think one reason GIBS Bangalore attracts a lot of MBA and PGDM aspirants is because students hear about it from seniors and alumni. That's how I first came to know about it too.

After joining, I realized there was always something happening on campus—guest speakers, competitions, workshops, company interactions, or student activities. It never felt like a place where you just attend classes and go home.

Another thing is that the college gives students enough opportunities to improve themselves. Some people become better at public speaking, some build confidence, and others discover what kind of career they actually want.

At the end of the day, every college has its strengths, but I feel GIBS has built a good reputation because students leave with more confidence and practical exposure than when they joined. That's why many MBA and PGDM aspirants keep it on their shortlist.

If you mean Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh, Group Discussions (GD) are mainly conducted for management/MBA admissions, not for most regular undergraduate programmes.

For the 2026–27 admission cycle, GD & PI are specifically part of:

• MBA (Sectoral) programmes at UIAMS, Panjab University.
• MBA at University Business School (UBS), Panjab University Regional Centre, Ludhiana, where GD & PI are also conducted.

So, if you're asking about BBA, B.Com, BA, BCA, etc., GD is generally not the standard admission process it depends on the specific programme and its admission notice. You can check the official Panjab University admission notices for the exact course.
