Management Department 

The GIBS Faculty incorporates significant industry relevance in the classroom by utilizing real business experience with academic theory. Most faculty members have worked in corporate or consultancy roles prior to joining GIBS, allowing them to frequently use current business examples (both live and case studies), current business practices, and demonstrate industry trends in class. Classes typically have a combination of simulations, role play, live-case projects, and corporate assignments from real-world businesses. Additionally, the Faculty has a regular practice of hosting guest speakers from industry, alumni, and/or CXO's to provide students with an understanding of the practical challenges of working in a business environment beyond their textbook studies. Faculty also work closely with their students through mentoring, providing guidance for work experience, and providing project feedback to ensure all students are prepared for new jobs and can successfully apply their classroom knowledge to real-world business situations upon graduation.

The new GIBS campus gives students lots of good facilities to live, study, and have fun. There are big smart classrooms with Wi-Fi, a large library full of books and online resources, and computer and innovation labs for practical work. Students can relax and eat in the cafeteria and hang out in common areas.

The campus has hostels for boys and girls with comfy rooms, gym, games and activities, plus sports grounds for cricket, football, basketball, badminton and even a swimming pool. There's also a big auditorium, seminar halls, dance and yoga rooms, and medical help if needed. Everything is built to help students learn, grow and enjoy college life.

GIBS works with over 220-260+ companies participating in student placement events, which include both established large companies and emerging start-ups. GIBS partners provide job opportunities for students in marketing, finance, analytics, human resources (HR), and operations jobs, and others.

Through initiatives like IRE Talks, AI Feast, and similar student-led industry initiatives sponsored by GIBS, students who may be shy and reserved start their journey toward becoming successful leaders through the development of confidence through an incremental, structured, and realistic exposure to the business world, creating their confidence and skills as individuals.

Instead of putting students in high-pressure situations as soon as they enter college, these types of events provide a comfortable and supportive environment in which students interact with leaders, company founders, and professors on a more informal but still meaningful level. Students are encouraged to step outside of their comfort zone through participation in panel discussions and listening to the entrepreneurial experiences of others, asking questions during Q&A sessions, and even hosting and/or moderating various segments of events. The experiential exposure gained from attending these events helps students develop communication skills, a clear thinking ability, and a professional presence, as shy students realise their opinions are valuable and performance requires effort and participation, rather than being perfect.

The experience of working behind the scenes on event planning, content preparation, and presenting with a group provides students with the tools they need to develop their organisational skills, experience working together as a team, and gain a sense of achievement for the roles they are responsible for filling. Almost as importantly, the new campus environment – with its collaborative area, mentorship from faculty members who are approachable, and regular interaction with representatives from various industries – facilitates these transformations by allowing students to learn in environments that are meaningful, relevant, and visible. With time, these shy students become confident communicators.

Global Integration Business School (GIBS) provides exposure to global business practices and prepares its graduates for a successful career in the corporate workforce through innovative programs like the Innovation, Research, and Entrepreneurship (IRE) initiative and the Certified Professional Management Program (CPMP). These programs incorporate more than just learning in the classroom; they provide students with exposure to global business perspectives through international conferences, research projects, entrepreneurship competitions, being exposed to speakers from around the world, and collaborating with global leaders in their fields. The IRE programme was designed to help students develop an entrepreneurial and innovation-driven culture. The CPMP focuses on preparing students to enter the workforce by providing them with industry-relevant certifications, on-the-job training, working on live projects, and utilizing simulations and skills-based modules that align with what companies are currently looking for. Both of these programs enable GIBS students to acquire both global knowledge and hands-on experience, along with the leadership skills needed to effectively lead international business units. As a result, GIBS graduates will be ready to tackle the challenges they will face as international business managers and meet the needs of their potential employers.
