Industry Exposure at GIBS Business School is integrated into the curriculum as a continuous and structured part of instruction, rather than just one event. GIBS conducts the following types of activities to keep students connected with industry:

• Guest Speaker Series (also called Corporate Talks) are held on average every month to every other month throughout the term to bring industry leaders (many of whom are HR professionals) into campus as speakers to give Motivating Talks and share their insights about the industries they represent.
• Industry visits (multiple visits scheduled and organised each semester) allow students to gain first-hand knowledge of the operation of businesses in different industries, i.e. manufacturing, logistics, finance, and IT. These visits offer students a better understanding of the Industry from an operational perspective.
• Alumni Sessions & Webinars (held regularly by the GIBS alumni who return to campus for career events to share their career experiences) occur most frequently prior to placement and internship activities, during which time alumni are able to inform students of the expectations they had when they entered the workforce and give advice about how best to prepare for interviews.

The new GIBS Business School campus is designed with the comfort and enjoyment of students in mind. The campus offers many options for social interaction, relaxation, and enjoyment outside of academics. Examples of these spaces include open lawns and landscaped garden areas, where students can relax or socialize between classes. Common areas and lounges, where students can collaborate in groups or hang out informally, and indoor spaces with games, seating, and other recreational activities where students can take a break from their studies and relax during the day, are also available. In addition to these spaces, there are also cafeteria/mess areas that function as social hubs for students, and there are also dedicated areas for yoga, fitness, and meditation to help students with relaxation and well-being. Together, these types of spaces create a healthy balance for students to unwind, connect with their fellow students, and restore their energy throughout the day.

The new GIBS Business School campus has been thoughtfully designed to provide students with hostel rooms and study areas that are comfortable, student-friendly, and conducive for both relaxing and studying. The hostel accommodations are furnished, well-ventilated, and contain the necessary features such as Wi-Fi, study desks, linens, and secure entrance access, which help to create a safe and secure living space for students. Students have access to several common study areas, relaxation areas, and quiet study zones where they can prepare for classes, work on class projects, and work with fellow students without distractions. Overall, the campus's facilities are an ideal balance of being comfortable, convenient, and supporting academics, allowing students to remain settled and focused for the entire semester.
