GIBS Business School

Compared to other business schools, GIBS has a more extensive industry exposure and types of practical learning. GIBS has a heavy emphasis on practical training and hands-on experiences.  Examples include;* site visits* to various industries, *guest speakers* and industry leaders, *corporate speaker* engagements, and *leadership presentation sessions* with industry leaders.

Other than hands-on experiences, GIBS incorporates the use of live documents, case studies, and internships as part of the curriculum so that students can apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-life business scenarios. Also, by having direct interaction with industry experts and tremendous networking opportunities to gather important information about their industries, GIBS students have a tremendous advantage by becoming familiarized with current workplace expectations and employment trends in their respective fields.

This ongoing and continual development of real-world experience has allowed GIBS students to develop their skills and confidence at a much higher rate than many of their peers from traditional business schools.

In order to prepare students for success in their chosen industries, GIBS blends theory with practical experience and functional skill-training through its unique approach of combining education with hands-on training. GIBS has created a curriculum that combines theory with practice so that students receive relevant academic experience as well as experiential learning through live projects, internships, case studies, and other industry-facing assignments. Additionally, students benefit from numerous guest lecturer presentations and interactions with various industry professionals, all of whom provide students with invaluable experience and perspective regarding current business practices and future employment opportunities. GIBS also emphasizes developing students' professional skills through experiential learning in such areas as communication, soft-skill enhancement, aptitude training and leadership development through presentations, workshops, and group projects. Through this method of educating students, GIBS develops the confidence, practical skills, and professional experiences necessary to enable all graduates to hit the ground running when they begin their professional careers.

Our placement cell is dedicated to working with companies from different industries to ensure that our students have the opportunity to apply for the job (s) of their choice. As a result, we are confident that our graduates will be able to demonstrate the skills necessary to succeed in the workforce based on the experiences they have received.

The wellbeing of the student body is equally important to the mission of GIBS MindValley Campus.

In addition, the companies that hiring the most GIBS graduates are typically in IT (information technology), Banking (finance services), FMCG's (fast moving consumer goods), Manufacturing (manufactured products), e-commerce companies, or Consulting firms and therefore, offer a very diverse amount of job opportunities and job titles available to GIBS graduates.

There is currently no definitive evidence in the public domain that any of the GIBS alumni have received any significant external national or international awards through publicly available award sites.

From what is available through the general public and institutionally based records, we can see that:

The majority of the publicly available record sites describe the various awards that have been awarded to GIBS as an organization: e.g. “2021 Business School of the Year – South” or “2021 Best Emerging Business School.”

Most of the documentation available regarding individual GIBS alumni who have received major awards from an external organisation is not available through an authorative source verified by reputable organisations. 

In general GIBS alumni are widely described as having achieved success in their careers/organisations as well as through entrepreneurship and the launching of new ventures rather than through major external awards.

Some GIBS alumni have moved into positions that are typically higher-level management or leadership in; they have successfully launched their own company (s), or gone on to have other successful roles within their industry, however these are typically communicated more as a result of their placement or lifestyle changes instead of a formal award.

Conclusion;

GIBS has a number of institutional awards, but there are very few publicly available documented instances of alumni having received an external national or international award.
