Coursera Courses

Yes, from my experience studying at GIBS Bangalore, there was a good amount of practical learning. It wasn't only about sitting in class and studying theory. We had things like live projects, internships, industry visits, guest sessions and activities where we could understand how things work outside the classroom.

I personally found this useful because you get to connect what you learn in class with actual business situations. The clubs and events also give you a chance to work with others and handle things on your own. So yes, practical exposure is definitely a part of the learning at GIBS.

Programs at GIBS have varying lengths based on which programme you choose:

• Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA): 3 Years
• Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM): 2 Years

Both of these programs are designed to include an equal distribution of classroom instruction, hands-on work experience through internships, and applicable experience throughout the entire length of the program.

Coursera does not provide degrees on its own. It partners with reputed universities in India and abroad that offer valid degrees. These online degrees also come with specific accreditations or government recognitions based on the university you choose. For instance, if you are going for a technical course that a prestigious institute such as BITS Pilani offers in partnership with Coursera, UGC allows the programme to be offered in online mode.
