Commerce College

For me, what makes GIBS special is that it's not just about classes and exams. The college gives you a lot of opportunities to learn, explore, and grow as a person.

When I joined, I was a bit shy and not very confident while speaking in front of others. But slowly, through presentations, workshops, guest sessions, industry visits, and different activities, I became much more confident. It really helped me come out of my comfort zone, and today I feel much more comfortable interacting with people.

I also like that GIBS focuses a lot on practical learning. We get exposure through live projects, certifications, internships, and placement training, which helps us understand what the corporate world is actually like.

Overall, I feel GIBS helped me grow not just academically, but personally too. Looking back, I can honestly see a big difference in my confidence, skills, and the way I approach things.

GIBS Business School believes that to be successful; students should have more than an academic foundation. Therefore, as part of its overall focus on developing the personalities of its students, the Institute has developed ways to combine classroom-based learning with an emphasis on the development of leadership skills, professional development, and "hands-on" practical activities.

Ways to Further Develop Students' Personalities:

•  The School of Youth Leadership (SoYL): This programme through promoting conditions for developing leadership abilities such as teamwork, good decision making, and the concept of social responsibility.
• Communications Skills Program: In addition to the SoYL program, the Institute also provides its students with regular interactive sessions that improve students' public speaking, presentation skills, business communications ability and self-confidence.
•  Career Progression and Management Program (CPMP): This programme focuses on developing students' aptitude, enhancing their soft skills, preparing for and presenting themselves in interview situations, and overall professional development.
•  Exposure to Business: The Institute provides students the opportunity to build the necessary level of practical exposure to find their own ways to gain the confidence to achieve success.
•  Student Clubs and Activities: Engaging in various cultural, sports, management, and entrepreneurship clubs allows for the enhancement of creativity and developing teamwork and leadership skills.
• Mock Interviews and Group Discussions: The various activities available to GIBS students help to develop their abilities to communicate, critically analyze marketing concepts, and develop confidence in their overall professional presence.
•  Event Management Opportunities: Working to organize and participate in a variety of events allows for GIBS students to enhance their leadership, organizational, and coordination abilities needed to achieve personal success.
