Honestly, I felt GIBS helps quite a lot during the whole entrance + application phase. Even before joining, their admission team guides you properly about what exams to take, how the scoring works, and what matters more for PGDM.

For students like us, they also clear doubts about CAT/MAT/CMAT/XAT etc., cutoffs, scholarship criteria, timelines, and even how to fill applications without messing up. It makes the process way easier and less stressful.

Most of us didn't come with a “perfect plan, ” so having someone explain everything in simple language helps. They also conduct webinars and counseling sessions for clarity. It's not spoon-

Yeah, GIBS does have a management quota, but it's not like how people imagine it. It's basically an alternate route for students who may not have strong entrance scores but are still genuinely interested and capable. The process is almost the same — you still have to go through interviews, screening, and discussions.

One thing I noticed as a student is that GIBS doesn't compromise on the quality part just because someone comes through management quota. They still make sure the person has clarity, confidence, and the right mindset for the PGDM environment. It just gives more flexibility for students who want to join but don't want to d

For GIBS, the eligibility part is honestly not too complicated. For BBA, you basically just need to have passed Class 12 from any stream — commerce, science, arts, whatever. The admission mainly depends on academics + interview, and they focus more on interest and attitude than just marks.

For PGDM, it's graduates from any field (even non-commerce — like in my case) and you need to have written at least one management entrance like CAT, MAT, CMAT, etc. After that, they take you through GD/PI where they actually check your fit, communication, and clarity about why you want to do PGDM.

One thing I liked personally is that they don't re

The 2025 Placement season at the GIBS Business School, Bangalore, saw the highest package provided to students being ₹16.15 LPA, along with an Average Package of ₹8.2 LPA, both of which illustrate excellent placement results from the variety of Roles/Sectors Placed.

The information mentioned above is from the official placement report of GIBS for the 2025 batch and shows how GIBS has continued to be active with many different companies/industries to provide competitive salaries to its graduates.

At GIBS, there are a bunch of events and clubs that actually make college life feel active and not just academics. TEDx is one of the big highlights because they bring in people who are doing genuinely interesting things, and listening to them kinda shifts your mindset. Then there are sports clubs — like volleyball, badminton, cricket — and the fun part is that everyone participates, not just players.

I personally liked how these things break the routine and help you bond with people across batches. Plus, there are clubs for finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, cultural fests, etc., so you end up exploring different sides of yourse

From my side, there isn't really a strict “minimum CAT score” that GIBS publicly declares like some colleges do. When I applied, CAT was just one part of the whole selection and a lot also depended on the GD/PI, communication, clarity about why PGDM, and overall attitude.

I've seen classmates with very different score ranges getting selected because GIBS looks more at potential and how you present yourself rather than just the number. So even if your CAT score isn't too high, it doesn't close the door — they genuinely focus on the student, not just the percentile.

Honestly ya, they do guide personally. Like in my case, during internships & projects I was literally asking doubts every 2 days  and they didn't make it weird. They actually sit and help you figure stuff instead of just saying “manage yourself.”

Even for future plans, some of us were talking about higher studies & switching domains, and faculty actually gave proper direction instead of those generic “all the best” types. Felt more like mentorship than just normal teaching.

So ya in GIBS you're not just left to survive on your own. They make sure you know what you're doing and where you're going.

Honestly if you're comparing IBMR vs GIBS Bangalore, from what I've seen as a student — GIBS is clearly on another level.
The whole vibe of the college is more updated, corporate-focused, and student-driven. IBMR is decent, no disrespect, but GIBS really pushes you with things like IRE sessions, entrepreneurship stuff, corporate talks, placements prep, internships, events, networking — all of that adds up big time.

Also the kind of exposure GIBS gives is insane. You'd see MIT alumni, global speakers, CEOs randomly walking in for sessions.
Plus the culture here is very student-friendly + practical. Nothing boring or outdated-type.
