    Yes, GIBS has its own awards for students who do well in different areas. If you're good in studies, you get recognised as an academic topper. If you take the lead in events or help manage activities, you're appreciated for your leadership. And if you're active in co-curriculars like clubs, competitions, or cultural events, GIBS also gives awards for that. It's just GIBS' way of motivating students and making sure everyone's hard work gets noticed.

As a student at GIBS, the placement scene is honestly quite strong and visible around campus.

In our recent placement cycle, the highest packages went into double digits, and the average package is solid for freshers, especially for roles in marketing, finance, consulting, HR, and operations. Companies like HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Deloitte, Accenture, Wipro, TCS, Flipkart, Reliance, Asian Paints, along with many good startups, regularly hire from GIBS.
