What facilities and infrastructure does the GIBS campus provide to support student learning and activities?

At the new GIBS campus, there are plenty of chill and hangout spots where students can relax between classes or after a long day. There are open lawns and green spaces where you can sit with friends, talk, or just enjoy some fresh air . There are also common seating areas and benches around the campus that make it easy to meet up and hang out.

Inside, there are informal spaces like lounges or cafeteria corners where you can grab a coffee or snack and just relax. Some spots even feel like little break zones where students naturally gather to chat, study in groups, or scroll on their phones.

GIBS has fun and relaxed places all around campus — from green lawns to cozy indoor seating — so you can enjoy your free time, catch up with friends, and take a break from studies in a nice environment.

Yes, the new GIBS campus definitely makes it easier to conduct big events, fests, and placement drives.

Because the campus is big, open, and well-designed, there is plenty of space for large gatherings like cultural fests, guest talks, and student activities. The auditorium and open areas can handle big crowds comfortably, and the layout makes organising things smoother.

For placement drives, there are proper halls and spaces where companies can set up their process without any crowding. Everything feels more organised and less cramped, so both students and recruiters have a good experience. The new campus is spacious, comfortable, and student-friendly, which makes hosting major events and placement activities feel natural and stress-free.
