Yes, GIBS regularly invites visiting faculty, industry experts, and corporate leaders for interactive sessions, workshops, and masterclasses. These engagements happen frequently throughout the year, often in the form of weekly or monthly expert talks under initiatives like the GIBS IRE School, Leadership Talk Series, Saturday Club Activities, and specialised domain sessions. Students get to be exposed to CEOs, entrepreneurs, senior managers, startup founders, and subject specialists who share real-world insights, current industry trends, and practical learnings beyond textbooks. Overall, guest lectures and corporate interactions are a continuous and integral part of the learning at GIBS, thereby keeping the students connected with industry expectations and evolving business practices.

GIBS Business School maintains strong internship opportunities through summer internships, live projects, industry-based research assignments, and entrepreneurship internships offered via the IRE School. Those span domains such as marketing, finance, HR, analytics, operations, and so on, along with companies like Deloitte, EY, HDFC, Amazon, and ICICI. The placement cell fully coordinates the whole internship activity by collaborating with the recruiter to bring relevant roles, getting the students ready through resume building and interviews, shortlisting students as per their skill and interest, scheduling company selection processes, and providing continuous mentorship during the course of the internship while tracking performance through reports and feedback. The placement team ensures that the students meet academic requirements, are properly certified, and, whenever possible, convert the internships into full-time employment opportunities, thus making the entire process structured and career-oriented.

Hi.

Yes — there are opportunities for students at GIBS Business School (Bangalore) to undertake research projects (or research‑related work) guided by faculty / through institutional support. 

GIBS IRE School (Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship) — GIBS runs a dedicated “IRE School” which includes an Innovation Lab, Research Lab, Entrepreneurship Lab.

Structured “research + innovation + entrepreneurship” programme — For students (especially PGDM, and by extension some BBA batches) there is a programme under IRE where, over three trimesters, they have credits for Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship. Final deliverables may include “real‑time research / business plans / prototypes / product ideas / market‑research outputs.” 

Faculty research culture and publications — Many faculty at GIBS are actively involved in research and publish in peer‑reviewed journals (including Scopus‑indexed ones). 

Live / industry‑linked projects & “Practice School” model — For PGDM especially, the curriculum mentions “industrial project‑based learning”, live projects, internships — which often involve problem‑solving, case‑studies, and industry‑oriented research/work.

Support infrastructure: labs, incubation & startup support, research/innovation centers — GIBS maintains labs and centres for research & innovation, provides access to digital libraries/databases, and has an incubation centre (useful if research leads to a prototype or startup).

Educational Credentials

Many core-faculty members hold advanced degrees — Ph.D., MBA, sometimes along with other postgraduate credentials. For example:

One listed faculty member has Ph.D. + NIT-Agartala background. 

Others have MBA or PGDM from reputed institutions/universities. 

Some faculty combine multiple academic credentials (e.g. B.Sc + MBA + Ph.D). 

• Blend of Academic + Industry/Professional Background

According to GIBS's own disclosures, a significant portion of their teaching staff are “accomplished professionals with practical experience across different industries, ” not just academics.

On average, many faculty members reportedly have 15+ years of experience — which suggests their backgrounds aren't purely academic but include substantial real-world exposure. 

The faculty–student ratio is around 1:16 (or ~15:1), which implies relatively small classroom sizes — enabling more personalized attention from experienced faculty.
