Education College

The GIBS College makes ethics, social responsibility, and sustainability a part of their school culture in a way that is both practical and nice for the students. They don't just teach ethics, they practice it through academic integrity, disciplined campus life, openness of systems, and extremely value-based faculty mentoring. They constantly encourage students to make ethical choices based on case studies, real-world projects, and in-class discussions. GIBS promotes social responsibility through visits to NGO's, outreach to communities, social internships, rural immersion, blood donation camps, and awareness campaigns so that students are connected to real-world social issues.Green initiatives around campus, going paperless, energy conservation, and conversations about sustainable business models in academic and industry sessions integrate sustainability into their daily lives. Through events like leadership presentations and student interactions, GIBS ensures students are prepared to be responsible, ethical and socially aware professionals when they graduate and enter the world of work.

GIBS combines academic work and holistic development to facilitate the entire development of the student beyond the normal classroom. The institution offers a strong academic curriculum, but it also offers opportunities for students to participate in industry projects, internships, case studies, and guest speakers, allowing students to gain practical experience. GIBS does not just focus on the educational aspect of students' education; in addition to academics, GIBS also conducts cultural events, management events, leadership programs, sports events, and clubs, which help students develop their self-esteem and self-confidence, communication skills, and teamwork skills, and develop their leadership abilities. Faculty members also provide individualised mentorship to their students. They assist students not only in completing their education but also in their career planning and personal development. This combination of rigorous academics, practical experience through an internship, and extracurricular activities, allow students at GIBS to develop in all aspects of their lives: as an individual, as a professional, and as a person.

The new GIBS campus has an amazing combination of many different things such as beautiful plants and trees, well-equipped laboratories, and spaces for hosting events. Having an abundance of nature makes it peaceful and provides a fresh atmosphere for students to relax and enjoy themselves while focusing on their studies. At the same time, there are all of the necessary facilities that allow for hands-on experience and development of skill sets, such as Laboratory Equipment, Digital Classrooms, and High-tech Facilities. The other spaces on the campus that include auditoriums and large outdoor areas lend themselves to being a great venue for hosting events, seminars, cultural programs, and networking with business professionals. All of these elements combined make the GIBS campus more than just a school. It creates an environment that will allow for students to reach their full potential and give them the opportunity to experience all that college life has to offer.

The campus of GIBS Mind Valley stretches over 10 acres of beautiful green land and provides a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere for students to decompress, concentrate, and have an enjoyable college experience each day. Being surrounded by ample green space and nature makes it convenient for students to relax between their periods of classes and gives them a break from both city noises and academic pressure. Furthermore, walking paths, grassy lawns and nature can help ease tension, enhance concentration, and boost overall mental health. The layout of the campus is open and promotes students to be outdoors with their friends, brainstorm or just relax after a busy day. In addition, the fresh air and quiet surroundings make it easier for students to concentrate during classes as well as while studying alone. Lastly, the facilities of the campus create an overall conducive environment for balanced college life through various community events, activities, and social skills in a pleasant and inviting environment. Overall, GIBS Mind Valley creates an educational environment through a combination of nature and study, resulting in students feeling re-energized, motivated and happy during their academic careers.

The events at GIBS, the flagship events (such as the IRE Conference, startup competitions, and network evenings), play a fundamental role in providing the opportunity to form relationships with industry leaders through practical and personal means. Those who attend will have the opportunity to hear about the experience that the CEO, founder, investor, senior manager has experienced; to hear about current trends in the industry; and to receive tips for their career—this is very different from reading about them in a textbook and is invaluable to students' education. At startup competitions, students can pitch their ideas and receive real-time feedback from industry professionals; these experiences provide students an understanding of how real businesses are assessed of value. Networking evenings give students access to professionals in an informal environment where they can interact with them on a one-on-one basis, ask them questions, and potentially exchange contact information and explore possible internship opportunities. Through regular attendance at these events, the students develop confidence and communication skills and create strong professional contacts. Many students have developed new contacts which lead to mentorship opportunities, project work, or job interviews through attendance at these events. Overall, these flagship programs ensure that our students gain exposure and develop relationships with professionals through their attendance at many of these events, allowing them to be prepared for the industry and develop connections before they graduate .

GIBS has established an extensive and varied corporate network that continually provides students with placement, internship, and industry engagement opportunities in many different sectors. This year alone over 260 companies visited the campus for recruiting during the recent placement cycle illustrating a wide variety of companies from which students can be placed versus relying on too few. The key industries from which these companies represent are banking & finance, IT/Consulting, FMCG/E-Commerce, Analytics, Manufacturing and Supply chain/Operations which provide students with placement opportunities in finance, marketing, HR and Operations to Analytics and Digital business.

In addition to traditional corporate recruitment, startups and emerging businesses are heavily involved in placement and internship drive programs across GIBS providing fast-growing opportunities, flexible roles and entrepreneurial experience that complement traditional corporate recruiting. The combination of large corporations recruiting at GIBS combined with the entrepreneurial experience provided by startup companies offers students a wide range of career options based on their individual strengths and preferences.

Overall, the breadth and multi-sectors of GIBS corporate network as well as now including startups, significantly adds to the practical experience student have as well as the relevance of their degrees leading to higher possibility of being hired upon graduating from either the PGDM or BBA program.
