With respect to internships, 80 - 90+ different companies provide valuable internships for students and many companies will subsequently provide pre-placement offers to high-performing students. Additionally, GIBS also facilitates student participation in startups by linking students to new venture opportunities and the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as well as providing resources to help establish more than 30 student-led startups on campus. Overall, GIBS has a broad, active and well-networked corporate network that assists students in finding employment both in traditional organisations and in new startup environments.

Almost all eligible students at GIBS Business School, Bangalore, obtain internship placement indicating the school's commitment to preparing students to be ready to work in an industry setting through hands-on experience.

The average stipend that students receive each month while completing their internships is approximately ₹15,000; some of the top companies such as KPMG have been paying stipends up to ₹54,000 per month in recent seasons demonstrating the value of these internships and the compensation associated with them.

As a student, a typical day at GIBS Bangalore's 10-acre campus would look something like this:

• Morning: I start the day by reaching campus and attending my first classes of the day. The classrooms are spacious, and the environment is really good for learning. Sometimes, we have group discussions or case studies which make the morning interactive.

• Afternoon: After classes, we usually have a lunch break in the campus cafeteria. The afternoon is again for lectures or practical sessions depending on the subject. We also get time for library study or project work.

• Evening: The evening is for extra activities like sports, cultural clubs, or workshops. On the 10-acre campus, there is enough space for students to relax, walk around, or meet friends. Sometimes, we have guest sessions or seminars as well.
