GIBS Business School Eligibility

A typical weekend at GIBS Bangalore is fun, active, and relaxing at the same time.

Students usually take part in sports matches like cricket, football, badminton, and indoor games. Friendly tournaments are common, so weekends feel energetic and lively. There are also cultural activities like dance practice, music, open-mic sessions, movie nights, and small fests where students showcase their talents.

For those who want to relax, the green campus is a big plus. Students sit on the lawns, walk around the campus, chat with friends, or just chill in open spaces. Some spend time in the café, hostel common areas, or reading quietly.

Overall, weekends at GIBS are a nice mix of sports, fun events, bonding with friends, and peaceful time in nature, helping students relax and enjoy campus life.

The campus of GIBS Business School is about 10 acres in total area and is intentionally laid out to provide a suitable environment for education, student life, and recreation. A large part of the campus has been allocated to offer state-of-the-art facilities for educational purposes, which include modern classrooms, digital laboratories, libraries, auditoriums, seminar rooms and creativity/innovation rooms to support practical learning from hands-on experience. Boys' and girls' hostels are separated from each other and include dining, study and living facilities that are designed to provide comfortable accommodation. There are many areas of the campus devoted to recreation and wellness, including sports fields, indoor games, open green areas, an amphitheatre and areas designated for yoga, culture and student events. Overall, the entire 10-acre campus was designed to allow students to focus on their studies while having the opportunity to participate in both hostel life and extracurricular activities along with opportunities to grow personally.

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.
