Gitarattan International Business School

I've seen companies from different industries visiting for placements, not just banks or IT firms. Big names like HDFC Bank, EY, Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, Bosch, Britannia, and PhonePe have recruited seniors from our batch. What I personally liked is the variety: finance roles, consulting, sales & marketing, analytics, HR. so students aren't stuck with one direction.

Even for internships, the exposure is decent because startups and corporates both show up. Because of this mix, most of us end up getting roles aligned with specialization, not random filler jobs, which I feel matters more than just showing logos. Overall, the placement ecosystem at GIBS is pretty active and gives enough space for students to explore different domains.  

Yes — faculty at GIBS Bangalore do that a lot. In most of my classes, instead of just explaining a concept from a book, teachers will pull up real examples from companies, recent business news, or actual situations their contacts have seen in the industry. It makes the session feel less like memorizing and more like learning how things really work.

For example, in marketing class, a topic like “brand positioning” might be explained using a case from a well-known brand campaign, and in finance class, a theory might be linked to how actual companies analyse their numbers. It makes concepts stick better because you can visualize them in real business settings.

The growth of the GIBS campus through relocation has brought about major transformations to GIBS' resources and facilities as they now have upgraded and improved classrooms, luxury villas as hostels, conference halls, training facilities and sports areas. As well as, providing students with a wide array of sporting options such as football, cricket, basketball and pickleball to enhance the overall student experience. The focus of the educational environment is experiential based through outbound training, hands-on learning and very interactive. It allows for students to have a healthy learning, growing and practicable climate that enables them to be able to accomplish their educational goals and develop themselves in a career-oriented environment.

The faculty at GIBS draw on their academic knowledge as well as their professional careers to develop a learning environment where students can learn practically. All work that students complete will be based on a current live project which has allowed them to deal with a real business situation, usually working with a real company. The professionals in the industry bring guest speakers, who present the speaker's thoughts based on their experience, provide a case study of the work completed, and talk about the issues the students are addressing as part of the assignment. Students who participate in these classes are performing the work normally completed in a lecture setting by converting the lectures to an interactive seminar-type setting. Students will learn how a business operates, as well as how to apply what they learn in the classroom. Credits and interdisciplinary academic credit can be achieved through interactions with industry professionals while preparing them to enter professions that require the theoretical knowledge and application of practical work.
