GIBS Business School Eligibility

GIBS Business School has a strong placement record, with the institute reporting near 100% placements every year for students participating in the placement drive. Top recruiters from Market Research & Analytics, EdTech, Manufacturing, Retail, FMCG, IT/ITES, BFSI, Automotive, and Startups have been actively hiring from the campus over the last few batches, covering a wide range of sectors. The students are predominantly placed in roles involving marketing, sales, finance, HR, analytics, consulting, and operations, which are in great demand from almost all industries. In all, 250+ recruiting companies, comprising a mix of established corporates and fast-growing firms participate every year to help students with varied career goals. The overall high placement percentage, reflecting a broad sector-wise hiring pattern, proves that GIBS provides good industry exposure and solid placement support for its students.

At GIBS, faculty are supportive, approachable, and dedicated to the success of their students. The faculty members facilitate easy communication so that students can receive help from them both in the classroom and beyond, and that is part of their mentorship responsibilities. Often, faculty assist with academic projects, career development, and personal growth in addition to offering real-world tips through their industry experience. The supportive, collaborative environment provided by faculty members allows students to develop confidence, motivation, and preparation for the challenges that lie ahead while building a foundation for both professional and personal growth.

Absolutely, GIBS Business School provides an array of more than adequate financial assistance as well as scholarship opportunities to assist incoming students. In the case of scholarships, these are usually based off of either merit, scores achieved on the entrance exam, as well as academic performances achieved throughout school as well as possible accomplishments outside of school (extracurricular).

Also, in regards to Financial Aid, GIBS offers financial aids to students who have a low or weak economic background. Flexible Payment Plans and Installment Payment Plans are both available for financial assistance that would lessen the burden of receiving financial assistance. Additionally, GIBS has partnered with different banking institutions to create Education Loans with competitive interest rates. All of these initiatives allow eligible students to obtain elite academic experiences without creating a financial burden as well as giving access to an elite academic environment for all prospective students regardless of the income level.

At GIBS, candidates can apply simultaneously for both the PGDM and BBA programme, each with different entry requirements. The BBA programme is open to anyone who has completed their 12th grade, whereas the PGDM programme requires applicants to possess a bachelor's degree and maintain a minimum score of 50%. Candidates who meet both requirements may apply for both programmes individually, with their applications assessed based on entrance exam results and academic performance as well as an interview. With this dual application process, students are able to evaluate more than one option prior to making their final decision; however, once selected into either programme they cannot enroll in both.

GIBS considers exam scores as an indication of a candidate's suitability for an MBA program, while GIBS also evaluates applicants' overall scores (percentile scores) rather than section cut-offs. Applicants who achieve the minimum cut-off (60–65 percentile) will be invited to participate in the next round of selection processes. The exam scores will serve as an initial screen to allow GIBS to assess the academic readiness of its MBA applicants for management studies and to provide a basis for a candidate's assessment via a combination of other assessment methods (group discussion, personal interview, and written assessment). By utilising all three methods of assessment, GIBS can evaluate the candidates' ability to communicate effectively, their levels of self-confidence, analytical capabilities, and motivation. The final selection of students will be made based on a comprehensive assessment of various elements which includes exam scores, academic performance and performance evaluations.
