Clubs are an important aspect of the leadership development process and give students real experiences where they can plan, organize and independently manage activities. GIBS offers a variety of different types of clubs (academic, cultural, marketing, finance, human resource management (HRM) and entrepreneurship) that provide students with the opportunity to develop responsibility by conducting events, coordinating with teammates, and managing budgets, and working with industry guests within their community. Through this hands-on experience, students also build decision-making capabilities, develop teamwork, and improve their communication and problem-solving skills as well as their time management skills. As students engage with their peers through leading initiatives and working on diverse teams, they will gain confidence and practical leadership experience that will prepare them for a career in a management position within the corporate world.

The biggest shock for me after starting at GIBS was the immense amount of practical learning and real business exposure that we received. The college actively engages us with guests speakers (who are often corporate leaders), and they take us on site visits to local businesses, have us do live projects, and provide access to personal mentors. The amazing support system (staff) and personal attention provided by the faculty, as well as their focus on developing skills, leadership ability, and personal growth all stand out as very different from what I expected from typical business schools. It's apparent that GIBS is very much not a traditional business school, but a school that is genuinely preparing students for the realities of the working world.

The admission processes for GIBS Business School in Bangalore have had an equal emphasis or priority for them: to create an environment that nurtures holistic development of all applicants through the evaluation and selection processes. More specifically, through their evaluation and selection process, they have established a historical trend for both CAT and MAT entrance exams; where successful applicants generally score above 60 percentile or higher on exams, with the exception of some years where the cut-off score for both the CAT and MAT were slightly lower or higher than indicated.

The typical MAT cut-off year-to-year is around 60-65 percentile or higher; likewise, with a higher score being highly beneficial in increasing one's chances for an interview invitation and increased chances for a scholarship.

GIBS Business School accepts other entrance exams including CMAT, XAT, ATMA, and GMAT, with a similar evaluation of moderate proficiency for each exam, while placing more importance on interview performance, past academic history, group discussion skills and overall applicant profile rather than solely on a cut-off score alone.

In summary, GIBS offers CAT and MAT exam cut-off scores that are somewhat attainable through focused preparation, and entrance exam scores are only part of the overall evaluation process.
