GIBS Business School

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.

How the Faculty–Student Ratio Affects Mentorship at GIBS (Point Wise)

• Having a balanced ratio

GIBS has an approximate student-to-professor ratio of 15:1, which helps promote faculty-student interaction.

• Greater personal attention

The smaller number of students per professor allows professors the opportunity to work with students individually.

•  Easier doubt clarification

With smaller ratios of students to faculty, it is much easier for students to communicate with faculty after classes should they have any doubt about a concept or assignment.

•  A strong mentoring system

All faculty have to mentor small groups of students, who they guide through the academic programme, internships and career planning.

•  Regular mentor-mentee meetings

Regular, structured mentor-mentee meetings provide students the opportunity to discuss their academic issues, personal challenges and professional goals.

• Career and internship mentoring

Mentors track students' progress and assist in project selection, as well as provide guidance during internships and placement.

•  Holistic development

The mentoring model encourages confidence and develops skills, which in turn leads to enhanced career development.
