During the placement season at GIBS Business School, Bangalore, over 260 firms came into the campus recruiting for their graduate students from all different fields of work which allowed students to receive multiple job offers. The various firms recruiting were from many different industries, including consulting, finance, IT/ITES, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), logistics and start-ups. This demonstrates that the school has a strong relationship with many businesses in these industries. Due to this success, almost all eligible graduates were placed in a job during the school's placement drive, thus allowing students to have a successful outcome upon graduation.

The faculty at GIBS draw on their academic knowledge as well as their professional careers to develop a learning environment where students can learn practically. All work that students complete will be based on a current live project which has allowed them to deal with a real business situation, usually working with a real company. The professionals in the industry bring guest speakers, who present the speaker's thoughts based on their experience, provide a case study of the work completed, and talk about the issues the students are addressing as part of the assignment. Students who participate in these classes are performing the work normally completed in a lecture setting by converting the lectures to an interactive seminar-type setting. Students will learn how a business operates, as well as how to apply what they learn in the classroom. Credits and interdisciplinary academic credit can be achieved through interactions with industry professionals while preparing them to enter professions that require the theoretical knowledge and application of practical work.
