While both DPGU and MGM University offer an MBA with active placement support, DPGU generally is considered to have better industry linkages and wider recruiter participation. DPGU places greater emphasis on corporate tie-ups, internships, and global exposure, which often results in higher placement opportunities and better salary packages. MGM University also does fairly well in terms of placements, but mainly in regional industries. Its reach is thus narrower compared to DPGU. Students looking at a broader corporate career and international exposure will thus find DPGU ahead, while MGM would suit those seeking solid local opportunities and a balanced academic environment.

The GIBS process for campus recruitment is well organized and supportive. They provide the students with pre-placement training that helps improve their communication, aptitude, and interview skills. After the training sessions, companies are invited to campus for recruitment and present their company profile and the jobs they are recruiting for. Following this, students are taken through multiple rounds of interviewing, which include the aptitude test, group discussion, personal interview, and possibly others, depending on the company's recruitment process. The placement cell coordinates all steps of the hiring process, thus facilitating smooth lines of communication between students and employers. During the entire season, students receive support from their professors and mentors to help them build their confidence and find the supply-demand match between their skills and career aspirations.

GIBS (the Graduate School of Business) offers internships to graduating students as a step toward acquiring permanent jobs through placements in roles that have been established at their institutions. At GIBS, students' internship placements take place at companies who are "test driving" potential future employees. Internship placements enable students to gain hands-on experience in their chosen career fields and to demonstrate their problem-solving skills, teamwork capabilities, and agility for change. Employers value candidates with the ability to demonstrate these aforementioned qualities, and will often offer interns a full time position after successful completion of the internship program. GIBS maintains a strong presence in South Africa's higher education system, establishing relationships with multiple reputable South African higher education institutions. Providing structured internship programs allow GIBS to position candidates for employment opportunities after graduation and reinforce the value of the internship as an integral part of the educational process.
