GIBS has established an extensive and varied corporate network that continually provides students with placement, internship, and industry engagement opportunities in many different sectors. This year alone over 260 companies visited the campus for recruiting during the recent placement cycle illustrating a wide variety of companies from which students can be placed versus relying on too few. The key industries from which these companies represent are banking & finance, IT/Consulting, FMCG/E-Commerce, Analytics, Manufacturing and Supply chain/Operations which provide students with placement opportunities in finance, marketing, HR and Operations to Analytics and Digital business.

In addition to traditional corporate recruitment, startups and emerging businesses are heavily involved in placement and internship drive programs across GIBS providing fast-growing opportunities, flexible roles and entrepreneurial experience that complement traditional corporate recruiting. The combination of large corporations recruiting at GIBS combined with the entrepreneurial experience provided by startup companies offers students a wide range of career options based on their individual strengths and preferences.

Overall, the breadth and multi-sectors of GIBS corporate network as well as now including startups, significantly adds to the practical experience student have as well as the relevance of their degrees leading to higher possibility of being hired upon graduating from either the PGDM or BBA program.

When an international student wants to join GIBS, the admissions team guides them step by step. They help with understanding the admission process, required documents, and eligibility so the student knows what to prepare. The team also gives information about visa requirements, fees, and important dates, making it easier for students from other countries to plan ahead.

GIBS provides support in communication too, so if a student has questions or needs help filling out forms, the staff is available to explain things clearly. Once the student is admitted, GIBS helps with orientation, settling into the campus, and accommodation, so international students can adjust well to college life in Bangalore.

Yes, GIBS Business School provides opportunities for international placements and internships that are limited and based on a few partnerships and programs instead of being available to every GIBS student. The school partners with international universities and organizations to host students in countries like Canada, the U.S., and Dubai, depending on the availability of positions and the student's performance.

So as part of GIBS' Global Immersion Programs, students also travel to Singapore, Malaysia, and Dubai for industrial visits, workshops, and university visits; these experiences help students build an international corporate network and learn from world-class business professionals.

While the ability for students to receive international placements will ultimately depend on job availability, the eligibility of students, as well as recruiter participation, GIBS supports its students' goals for global internships or global assignments through GIBS' corporate relations team and with global partners, thereby increasing the student's opportunity to work internationally in support of their career development.

In the 2025 placement season, more than 260 companies participated in the final placement activity of GIBS Business School in Bangalore across various industries including consulting, IT, BFSI, FMCG, and logistics. This vast selection of company participants also provided job opportunities in several different domains for many students who participated in the 2025 placement season. As a result of the company's significant commitment to the students, all eligible graduates of the GIBS Business School were successfully placed during the 2025 placement season and the strong level of engagement between the industry and the GIBS Business School as well as the extensive support provided to the graduates by the institute.
