Gitarattan International Business School Placement

The GIBS Business School employs an organized approach to secure jobs for students. The school has placement activities that start early throughout the programme and continue until graduates are placed by connecting students with companies through an established and well-defined placement cell.

The placement staff provides ongoing assistance through finishing school training modules, resume writing sessions, aptitude testing, interview preparation and mock interviewing programs, which give students the tools necessary to secure employment.

The placement office also has strong relationships with employers from many industries and hosts numerous recruiting/placement related events on campus, including pre-placement discussions, campus interviews and job fairs, as well as internships and industry interaction.

The placement office has a placement coordinator and a support team of faculty and student representatives, who serve as the bridge between employers and students, facilitating the transfer of information and scheduling interviews.

Students typically go through two major placement phases. During the first phase, when a student receives an offer, the student leaves the placement process, thereby giving other students an opportunity to secure.

The second major phase of placement allows students to apply for higher-paying or "dream" company positions. By allowing students to apply to other positions, they ultimately have many opportunities to accept more than one offer.

The GIBS Business School placement cell has a focus on continuous skill development through well-defined processes, partnerships with employers, and organized staffing events to ensure students have the necessary skills to successfully secure positions through the placement office.

When it comes to preparing for graduation, students at GIBS receive job placement training from day 1 rather than waiting until their last semester. GIBS has developed a continuous placement training model where students receive ongoing training in soft skills such as Communication, Resume Building, Interviewing Skills and Business Etiquette along with academic classes. As a result of extensive industry experience through Live Projects, Internships, Corporate Presentations, Industrial Visits and the IRE Program, students gain hands-on experience prior to being placed in full-time employment. The Faculty Mentors and dedicated Placement Staff provide individualised support based on the student's strengths and area of specialisation; therefore, GIBS places students in Roles that fit their skills rather than in Random Roles. Students arrive at their final placements industry-ready. Recruiters view these students as industry-ready and confident when recruiting; therefore, they view GIBS as compared with other Business Schools, as providing a continual stream of qualified candidates and a strong connection with Recruiters.
