GIBS Business School

At GIBS Business School, the new campus gives students some good support for projects, research, and entrepreneurship.

Here's how they help:

 Projects & Research

• Teachers guide you when you work on research or big projects.

• You can use campus resources (like books, internet, case studies) for your work.

• You get support if your project needs data, analysis, or business ideas.

Entrepreneurship Support

• There are sessions with entrepreneurs and industry experts to help you think like a business person.

• You may get mentoring or advice on how to start your own venture.

• You can share ideas with classmates and teachers who help you improve them.

So overall, GIBS tries to make sure students have guidance, knowledge, and tools to work on real projects and even explore startup ideas while on campus.

The faculty provide research opportunities for GIBS Business School students by involving them in innovative, research-oriented and entrepreneurial projects as part of the curriculum through taking part in a Research School. This school offers students structured research activities, workshops, and live project work all of which are located under the IRE School. Faculty and industry experts guide students in their execution of these projects and evaluate student performance based on the research, innovative, prototype or business plan that they produce in connection with these projects.

Students are also provided opportunities to conduct research during their internship and academic assignments by designing, developing, and submitting a faculty-supervised report that provides a detailed analysis of a particular business problem. This process enables students to develop their problem solving, analytical thinking and employability skills prior to graduation by allowing them to have a sound basis of practical research experience.

After reviewing numerous sources of publically available evidence, GIBS Business School offers a modern, robustly-developed infrastructure specifically designed to provide an atmosphere conducive to innovation.

1) Ecosystem of Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship
GIBS has developed a unique Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship programme that gives students opportunities to create solutions through innovative programming as well as to conduct research and to work in cooperation with startup companies versus only using purely theoretical solutions created in the classroom.

2) Digital Learning & Smart Classrooms
The GIBS Campus includes classrooms and facilities that utilize technology in the classroom and are equipped with projectors, interactive audio and video equipment, and all the interconnected technologies that allow for the use of multiple teaching strategies via case studies, simulations and the application of modern teaching methodologies.

3) Support for Incubation and Entrepreneurship
Students who have an interest in starting their own business will have access to an incubator and to a wealth of entrepreneurship programs such as mentorship and entrepreneurship-related events, which will assist them in converting their ideas into a successful business.

4) Research Resources and Library
GIBS offers a complete library with access to books, professional journals and digital databases to support students in their research activities and projects and to provide them with education related to an innovation-based curriculum.

5) High-Speed Internet and Computer Labs
GIBS operates its computer labs using up-to-date technology that supplies students with various tools to assist in data analysis, as well as providing students with entire campus access to the high-speed Internet.

6) Collaborative Spaces and Areas for Activities
The GIBS campus contains multiple seminar rooms, collaborative meeting rooms and areas dedicated for activities to support students' collaboration on multiple group projects through the conduct of hackathons, guest speakers and workshops.

The GIBS Business School employs an organized approach to secure jobs for students. The school has placement activities that start early throughout the programme and continue until graduates are placed by connecting students with companies through an established and well-defined placement cell.

The placement staff provides ongoing assistance through finishing school training modules, resume writing sessions, aptitude testing, interview preparation and mock interviewing programs, which give students the tools necessary to secure employment.

The placement office also has strong relationships with employers from many industries and hosts numerous recruiting/placement related events on campus, including pre-placement discussions, campus interviews and job fairs, as well as internships and industry interaction.

The placement office has a placement coordinator and a support team of faculty and student representatives, who serve as the bridge between employers and students, facilitating the transfer of information and scheduling interviews.

Students typically go through two major placement phases. During the first phase, when a student receives an offer, the student leaves the placement process, thereby giving other students an opportunity to secure.

The second major phase of placement allows students to apply for higher-paying or "dream" company positions. By allowing students to apply to other positions, they ultimately have many opportunities to accept more than one offer.

The GIBS Business School placement cell has a focus on continuous skill development through well-defined processes, partnerships with employers, and organized staffing events to ensure students have the necessary skills to successfully secure positions through the placement office.

Through its systematic method of substantial mentorship, hands-on experiences, and ongoing learning, GIBS enables students to have long-term clarity in their careers. Students participate in an individual counselling with developmental assessments and assessments of personality from the start through mentoring programmes, enabling students to develop self-awareness of their strengths, preferences, and competencies for different career choices.

Additionally, students are exposed to different employment roles and sectors via GIBS' provision of actual internships, live company projects, visits to companies, and guest speakers. As students gain hands-on working exposure to different jobs within companies, this exposure enables them to explore a variety of employment options before deciding on one.

The skill sets that students will need for their respective career paths are developed through regular training sessions focused on communication skills, aptitude development, leadership skills, and resume writing.

With the ongoing guidance, support and feedback of faculty mentors, industry professionals and the placement cell, GIBS assists students with identifying specific career aspirations and developing a plan for achieving those aspirations.

If you plan to join GIBS, make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities available through the institute outside of academics. GIBS is a very practical learning institution, so you should take part in live projects, internships, industry visits, and guest lectures to gain experience outside of the classroom. Also, participate in clubs and events; this will help you develop leadership skills, teamwork skills, and communication skills — all of which are just as important as what you learn in the classroom.

In addition, be sure to start preparing for placement from day one. Work on building your aptitude, communication, and presentation skills and develop an impressive resume through completion of certifications and projects. Stay consistent in your efforts, be open to constructive criticism from mentors/faculty, and take advantage of the networking opportunities that come your way through contacts with people in the industry.

Students who are actively involved in campus life, participate in extracurricular activities and focus on developing their skills will typically achieve the best results from their time at GIBS.
