GIBS Business School

Hi.

The main highlights of the new GIBS (Global Institute of Business Studies) campus in terms of design, greenery, and student spaces — based on the most up-to-date information about the Bangalore campus:

Campus Design & Greenery

• Green and serene environment: The campus is described as clean, green, and pollution-free, with landscaped spaces that help create a calm atmosphere conducive to studying and relaxation.

• Spacious layout: Spread over a substantial area (commonly reported around 10 acres), the design allows for academic blocks, sports fields, hostels, and open spaces without crowding. 

• Outdoor social spaces: Includes areas like amphitheatre, speaker corners, and gardens where students can gather, hold events, and socialize outdoors. 

Campus Design Focus

• Modern, student-centric architecture: The infrastructure blends contemporary learning spaces with relaxed social and recreational zones. Classrooms, labs, and collaborative areas are designed to support interactive learning. 

• Eco-friendly and open spaces: Outdoor sports grounds, jogging tracks, and open lawns are part of the layout, encouraging use of outdoor space for physical activity and informal gatherings.

Student & Social Spaces

• Academic zones:

  • Smart classrooms, digital library, and specialised labs (e.g., computer and innovation labs) support academics and research.

  • Seminar halls, conference rooms, and auditoriums provide space for events, workshops, and corporate interactions. 

• Recreational and Community Spaces:

  • Amphitheatre and cultural hubs for performances, student events, and group activities. 

  • Clubhouse, gym, yoga & dance studios, and indoor game areas that support wellness and social life.

  • Outdoor sports facilities like football, basketball, and cricket grounds — promoting physical health alongside academics.

  • Residential & Common Areas:

  • Villa-style luxury hostels with communal spaces help foster community living. 

  • Cafeterias, lounges, and rooftop spaces act as informal student hubs for relaxation and interaction.

Supportive & Student-Friendly Features

• Well-connected Wi-Fi across campus ensures students can work and study from anywhere on campus. 

• Security and wellness spaces (like medical support and counselling) contribute to a safe and supportive campus environment.

From my own experience, the biggest advantage of GIBS is how balanced everything feels.

• The faculty is very friendly and supportive. You can easily talk to them, ask doubts, or take guidance anytime. Learning is not just theory, it's very practical and easy to understand.
• The campus vibe is really good. Mind Valley is calm, green, and feels positive. I honestly loved spending time there with friends, attending sessions, events, and just hanging around after classes.
• There are regular events, talks, conclaves, and activities, so college life never feels boring. You learn, enjoy, and grow at the same time.
• Placement support is also good. They guide you step by step and keep you prepared, so you feel confident by the end.

Overall, GIBS feels more than just a college. It gives good learning, good exposure, and really good memories.

Honestly, after spending time on campus, it really feels like GIBS gives you everything you need. The classrooms are super comfortable and tech-friendly, so sessions don't feel boring. The library was my go-to place for assignments and quiet study. Wi-Fi works well across campus, which helped a lot for projects and last-minute work.

There are also plenty of open spaces to sit, relax, and just talk with friends between classes. Sports and activity areas were a good stress-buster, especially after long sessions. Overall, the campus feels very easy to live in—you can study, chill, and spend the whole day there without feeling tired or stuck.
