    GIBS honestly keeps student life super active and supportive. It's not just classes all day — they make sure you learn, enjoy, and grow at the same time.

    Extracurriculars:
    You get plenty of clubs, events, fests, guest sessions, sports, business games, and even fun activities like IPL auctions, Kaizen events, celebrations, etc. There's always something happening on campus, so it never feels boring.

    Student Support:
    They take placements seriously — training starts from day one. Faculty are very friendly and guide you whenever you need help. You also get mentors, counselling support, workshops, soft skills sessions… basically, they make

     Activities like festivals, sports, and student clubs to foster holistic development, while support activities include internships, live projects, industry visits, and a dedicated Innovation, Research, and Entrepreneurship (IRE) School for hands-on experience and skill-building. The IRE School offers resources like mentorship and funding for entrepreneurial ventures, and the institute also provides academic guidance, counseling, and career services.

Similar Questions for you

What flexible fee structures and scholarships make GIBS accessible for aspiring students?
S
Shalinigowda

I honestly feel they've made the whole fee part very flexible and student-friendly. Not everyone can arrange the full amount at once, so the installment and semester-wise payment options really help. On top of that, scholarships based on CAT/MAT/CMAT and merit make it easier for students who genuinely deserve a chance.

I've also seen classmates get scholarships around 75,000 which actually makes a big difference for families. What I liked is that GIBS keeps things transparent—no random surprise charges or unnecessary “extra fees”, and overall it feels more accessible compared to many B-schools in Bangalore.

How does GIBS support global exposure and industry readiness through programs like IRE and CPMP?

Shalinigowda

Honestly, the thing I like about GIBS is that they don't just say “global exposure” or “industry ready” for marketing. Programs like IRE and CPMP actually make you work on stuff that companies expect outside the classroom.

In IRE, we do a lot of practical learning — projects, ideas, prototypes, presentations, even small entrepreneurship activities. It makes you more confident and helps you learn how to think creatively instead of just memorizing theories.

CPMP is more about preparing us for placements. We get industry mentors, communication training, aptitude prep, grooming sessions, resume and interview practice — all those

Which top companies like HDFC Bank or Accenture recruit GIBS graduates?
S
Shalinigowda

I've seen companies from different industries visiting for placements, not just banks or IT firms. Big names like HDFC Bank, EY, Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, Bosch, Britannia, and PhonePe have recruited seniors from our batch. What I personally liked is the variety: finance roles, consulting, sales & marketing, analytics, HR. so students aren't stuck with one direction.

Even for internships, the exposure is decent because startups and corporates both show up. Because of this mix, most of us end up getting roles aligned with specialization, not random filler jobs, which I feel matters more than just showing logos. Overall, the placement ec

What PGDM specializations does GIBS Bangalore provide, and how do they incorporate practical exposure like fieldwork and industry projects?
S
Shalinigowda

From my experience, GIBS offers PGDM in Marketing, Finance, HR, Business Analytics, Entrepreneurship and a few more. The best part is that it is not just classroom theory. Most subjects come with some sort of practical exposure like fieldwork, company projects, startup activities, case studies, and industry sessions.

We also get guest lectures, corporate talks, and mentoring which makes it easier to connect academics with the market. Honestly, the hands-on learning helped me understand placements and career options better because you get a real idea of how things work in companies instead of only writing exams.
