Colleges in Karnataka

During my time at GIBS Bangalore, internships and live projects were actually a big part of my learning. I remember working on group projects where we had to sit together, discuss ideas, divide the work and then present everything. In the beginning, I wasn't always confident about speaking or presenting, but doing these activities regularly helped me get better at it.

• I got to use what we learned in class while working on actual project work.

• Working with different classmates taught me how to coordinate and share responsibilities.

• My internship gave me a better idea of how things work in a real company.

• Presentations and project discussions slowly made me more comfortable speaking in front of others.

• I also understood that practical skills matter just as much as knowing the theory.

For me, the main benefit was that I didn't feel like I was only studying for exams. The projects and internship gave me some actual exposure and helped me understand where the things we learned in class fit into the real business world.

In my experience at GIBS Bangalore, the faculty were pretty approachable whenever I had doubts, even after classes. I used to go and ask them if I was confused about any topic, assignment or project, and they were usually happy to explain it again. Sometimes we would also discuss things after class if I needed a little more clarity.

Even for career-related things, I found them helpful. I had doubts about what kind of roles or career options I could look at, and I could openly discuss that with the faculty. During projects and presentations also, they used to give suggestions and tell us where we could improve. So overall, I never felt hesitant to approach the faculty when I needed help, whether it was related to studies or career.

From my experience at GIBS, the curriculum isn't limited to just the usual textbook topics. There are also practical activities, industry sessions, projects and exposure to areas that are becoming important in business.

• Guest sessions help students hear about current industry trends.

• Live projects and practical activities connect subjects with real business situations.

• Students get exposure to areas like business analytics, digital marketing, AI and entrepreneurship.

• Industry interactions also help students understand what companies are currently looking for.

I feel this makes the learning more relevant, especially because business keeps changing so quickly. My experience at GIBS was good in this aspect because there were opportunities to learn beyond the regular syllabus.

My experience at GIBS was good when it came to career guidance. I was also a little confused about which direction to take initially, but the faculty and placement team helped me understand different options and what would suit me better.

• Faculty were approachable whenever I had doubts.

• There were career guidance and placement preparation sessions.

• Internships and live projects gave me some practical exposure.

• Industry interactions helped me understand different roles and career options.

• Presentations and activities also helped me become more confident.

Overall, GIBS gave me enough exposure to understand my strengths and think more clearly about what I wanted to do after college.

One thing I personally like about GIBS is its industry connections. GIBS has industry MoUs and corporate associations that support things like internships, industrial visits, expert sessions and live projects. Some of the companies students may come across through GIBS's corporate and placement ecosystem include Berger Paints, HDFC Bank, Oracle, Amazon, Wells Fargo, Practo, Info Edge and Simplilearn.

• Students get opportunities to interact with professionals through guest sessions and workshops.

• These connections also support practical exposure through projects, internships and industry visits.

• It gives students a chance to understand how different companies and industries actually work.

Personally, I feel the industry exposure at GIBS makes the learning more interesting. When you hear directly from people working in companies like these, the things you learn in class feel a little more connected to the real world.
