Internships are critical for a student's final placement, and are the main pathway to receiving job Offers after graduation. Internships provide employers with the opportunity to consider students for full-time positions, as they can measure the ability of students while they are working. While the placement statistics at GIBS indicate that 85%+ of students are offered pre-placement job offers (PPOs) as a result of their internships, thus demonstrates a strong preference among employers to hire a student they have trained. Students gain valuable experience through their internships, which gives them increased chances of receiving full-time job offers.

The use of the Placement Cell offers support to both through coordinating internship drives, and further developing good relationships with all corporate partners. Currently, as many as 80-90+ companies take part in internship recruitment annually, therefore providing our students with countless internship opportunities. Because of the success of our internship program, GIBS reports continuing placement rates of nearly 100% year after year. If a student performs well in their internship, they usually have the opportunity to receive a full-time position prior to graduation. The internship programme at GIBS is extremely valuable for a student's career to ensure that the majority of students make the transition from internship to pre-placement offer.

The Graduate Institute of Business Studies (GIBS) has a comprehensive training programme that equips students with the skills necessary to succeed in placement interviews and assessments. The training begins at the beginning of the Shortened Completion Programme (SCP) and follows a step-by-step approach.
During the SCP, students complete regular aptitude training in quantitative ability, logical reasoning, and verbal skills. This type of training includes the completion of mock assessments designed to replicate real-life company assessments.
In addition, GIBS conducts mock interviews, group discussions, and personal interview practice. Faculty and industry experts provide feedback to improve students' confidence and ability to communicate during the interview process.
GIBS's Placement Team works closely with each student to assist them in building an effective resume, aligning their work profile with their career aspirations, and preparing for HR-type interview questions. Each student learns to recognise their own strengths and how to articulate their career path based on their specialisation.
In addition to these components, GIBS also provides technical and professional development through the process of providing students with soft-skills training, attending personality development sessions, and attending corporate etiquette workshops so that they will be interview-ready for final placements.

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.
