GIBS Business School

Hi.

 Structured Academic Routine

GIBS follows a timetable where:

Classes are usually held during fixed daytime slots, avoiding random schedules.

Academic workload is distributed through presentations, internal assessments, and practical activities rather than last-minute pressure.

Faculty often conducts skill-based, activity-oriented learning, which reduces rote-learning stress and keeps students engaged.

This predictable schedule helps students plan their day.

2. Dedicated Placement Preparation Built Into the Curriculum

GIBS integrates placement training throughout the course, not just at the end:

Weekly Placement Training

Via their Finishing School, students undergo training in:

Aptitude

Group discussions

Interviews

Resume building

Soft skills

Corporate communication

 Mock interviews & real-time assessments

Held regularly so students don't have to prepare everything at the last moment.

Strong placement cell

Students get:

Internships

Live projects

Company interactions

Industry mentoring

Because this happens weekly, students don't need separate extra time for “placement preparation” — it's part of the routine.

3. Extracurricular Activities Are Scheduled Smartly

GIBS is known for having vibrant clubs and events (TEDx, cultural fests, sports, entrepreneurship cells).
To help balance:

Most club meetings happen after classes or on weekends.

Events are pre-planned and supervised by faculty mentors.

Students join clubs that match their interests, not everything — preventing overload.

They also have the IRE School (Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship) which blends extracurricular + academic learning.

4. Time-Management Support from the Institute

Students get training in:

Planning weekly tasks

Prioritising assignments

Setting academic and professional goals

Managing event and club responsibilities

Mentors regularly check in with students to ensure they're not overwhelmed.

5. Peer Support & Group Work

GIBS uses a lot of:

Group presentations

Team assignments

Peer-learning activities

Working in teams helps students split workloads and learn collaborative time management — very helpful during busy weeks.
