<p>Hi.</p><p data-start="300" data-end="490">GIBS reports that it arranges summer/term internships for essentially all PGDM students: their 2020‑22 batch reportedly had “100 % internships.”</p><p data-start="300" data-end="490">The internships cover a&nbsp;wide range of sectors — not limited to one industry. Recent internship‑drives (e.g. 2024 batch) show placements/internships offered in sectors such as IT, FMCG, e‑commerce, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, retail, consulting, and more.</p><p data-start="804" data-end="1077">Some internships come with notable stipends — there are reports of students receiving high‑value internships (e.g. a case where GIBS PGDM students got a 2‑month internship at a reputed company with stipend reportedly ₹ 1,15,000).&nbsp;</p><p data-start="1080" data-end="1360">GIBS also claims to maintain many recruiter connections: their published data shows 80 + companies participating in internship drives (in recent years) and over 200 corporate recruiters associated with the institute's placement network.&nbsp;</p><p data-start="1363" data-end="1731">Internship roles are not just “entry‑level” or limited to generic functions; because GIBS's PGDM emphasises management and business training, internships often align with business‑management, marketing, analytics, operations, consulting, and other corporate‑sector roles — giving “real-world” exposure beyond classroom learning.</p><p data-start="1821" data-end="1989">GIBS uses a structured placement and internship‑coordination mechanism (through a “placement / corporate‑interface cell”) to manage opportunities — here's how it works:</p><p data-start="1993" data-end="2323">Dedicated Placement Department + Student Placement Team: GIBS has a placement/career‑services department headed by a placement coordinator, plus a “student placement team” (selected from among students) that assists in outreach, coordination with recruiters, and internal organisation.</p><p data-start="2326" data-end="2691">Formal corporate‑interface through “Industry‑Institute Partnership Cell (IIPC)” / “Corporate School / GCS”: According to GIBS's own disclosure, this body interacts with companies, builds and maintains recruiter relationships, organises internship and placement drives, and acts as a liaison between students and industry.&nbsp;</p><p data-start="2694" data-end="3151">Structured “Campus‑to‑Corporate (C2C)” Programme &amp; Finishing School: Before sending students for internships, GIBS provides preparatory training — “C2C” programme and “Finishing School / Personal Mastery Program (CPMP)” — to groom students in soft skills, corporate‑readiness, business communication, interview / group‑discussion preparation, etc. This helps make students “job‑ready” before internship/placement.</p><p data-start="3154" data-end="3475">Internship Drives and Recruiter Visits: GIBS organises periodic internship‑drive cycles. Companies from different sectors visit campus (or shortlist/offer remotely) for internship roles. For example, in 2025 — over 80 companies reportedly participated in internship placements.</p><p data-start="3154" data-end="3475">Support, Mentoring &amp; Alumni Network: GIBS leverages its alumni network (reportedly over 2000 alumni) for mentorship, networking, and sometimes internship/job referrals. Alumni are often engaged to guide younger students, furnish industry insights, and assist with placements.</p>
