MBA Admission

At GIBS Business School, Bangalore, the role of faculty extends beyond mere teaching in class. Professors at GIBS often work with students on industry-oriented projects, live case studies, and consulting assignments that connect a host of conceptual and theoretical aspects with business challenges faced in reality. The professionals having corporate and research backgrounds themselves involve students with projects on marketing strategy, financial analysis, business analytics, and entrepreneurship development. Professors supervise student-led startups, research papers, and business simulations under various initiatives of the Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship (IRE) School and the GIBS Finishing School (GFS). Moreover, several professors engage in consulting and corporate training programs, where students may be allowed to assist and observe them to learn the practical aspects of using management concepts. By this involvement, there is a strong connect between the academic learning of the students and the professional practice, adequately preparing the learners to be industry-ready leaders.

GIBS Business School has a holistic and structured selection process to screen the applicants. Candidates are shortlisted based on their test scores in CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, GMAT, or any other recognised entrance tests. First comes the minimum eligibility-a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks (45% for reserved categories) from a recognised university. After that, the score of the entrance exam is taken into consideration. GIBS then selects the applicants on the basis of their scores obtained in the entrance exams. The selected candidates are invited to appear for further selection processes, which also include a Group Discussion (GD) and a Personal Interview (PI), apart from a Written Ability Test (WAT) in some cases. Their final selection is based on the composite performance in their academics, entrance examination scores, communication skills, leadership potential, and overall performance in GD and PI. This makes sure that the students chosen for GIBS have both the aptitude for academics and competence for managerial roles in business leader positions.
