Colleges in India

GIBS Business School recognizes the value of attendance and participation as critical components of its practical, industry-focused education model. Students who are frequently absent from lectures, skills training or assessments may experience a number of academic and professional consequences.

Some of those commonly cited consequences are:

• Low attendance may result in students not being permitted to take the internal or final examinations.
• Absenteeism from skills training can seriously affect communication skills, personality development and future placement preparation.
• Students may lose their internal marks that were associated with their presentations, case studies, assignments, team project and practical activities.
• Continuous absenteeism from assessments and other significant training may adversely affect the student's overall academic performance and preparedness for placement in the workforce.
• If a student continues to have poor attendance, a faculty mentor will contact the student for a meeting for counseling purposes.

Participation in workshops, mentoring, presentations and industry activities is a primary emphasis of GIBS as these experiences are seen as a part of professional development instead of simply classroom learning.

GIBS strongly encourages students to contact the faculty member (s) prior to their absence for any legitimate medical or personal emergencies to request alternative arrangements/guidance when possible.
