Masters in Management

The admission process at GIBS for MBA/PGDM has been constructed with the aim of judging students in their academics, aptitude, communication skills, and overall capabilities. The selection procedure includes several rounds to ensure a perfect selection of students.

GIBS admission process includes the following steps:

• First step is to submit the online application along with the academic details and the entrance test scores applicable like CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT/ATMA/GMAT/and others.
• Next stage is the screening of application in which eligibility, academic record and score in entrance tests is checked.
• The applicant must then submit the statement of purpose (SOP) which showcases the reason of pursuing the programme along with the career aims and prospects.
• Thereafter Group discussion stage takes place which consist of the checking for communication abilities, coordination and reasoning capabilities.
• Finally the Personal Interview round takes place to check the personality, future aspects and subject knowledge of the individual along with much more.

What I liked was that the preparation didn't start only when placements came around. We were getting small bits of training throughout the course, so it never felt rushed.

Things that really helped were:

• Mock interviews to practice before the real ones.

• Communication and personality development sessions.

• Resume-building guidance.

• Group discussions and presentations.

• Guest sessions with industry professionals.

• Internship opportunities to get some real work exposure.

By the time placement season started, interviews didn't feel as scary because we'd already practiced so much. I felt much more confident compared to when I first joined, and that steady preparation really made a difference for me.

Assessment Methods Other Than Written Tests

• Students completing 'live' projects and internships will be assessed on their actual work with a company and how they performed in that work.
• Students will have to give presentations and participate in seminars to demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively, their level of confidence, and how well they understand the subject matter.
• Students will have to analyze actual business cases and will be graded on how they solved the problem in the case.
• Students will complete group projects and team-building assignments where they will be assessed on their teamwork and leadership abilities.
• The CPMP is a continual evaluation of students' soft skills, such as communication, personality, and professionalism.
• Through role playing and simulating different business situations, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their decision-making skills.
• Classroom participation and activities will include classroom discussions, quizzes, and other interaction-based methods of evaluation.
• Students will complete written assignments and research projects as a means of assessing their ability to learn from their analytical and research experience.

These methods of evaluating are used in most business schools today to assess students' practical skills, ability to work with others, and their ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations, rather than just through theoretical means.
