    Yes, GIBS has its own awards for students who do well in different areas. If you're good in studies, you get recognised as an academic topper. If you take the lead in events or help manage activities, you're appreciated for your leadership. And if you're active in co-curriculars like clubs, competitions, or cultural events, GIBS also gives awards for that. It's just GIBS' way of motivating students and making sure everyone's hard work gets noticed.

The latest GIBS IRE / podcast episode is actually quite interesting.

Recently, GIBS featured industry leaders and founders in the IRE Talks, where they talk openly about their career journey, startups, mistakes, and real-life work experiences. It's very practical and easy to relate to, especially for students like us who are about to enter the corporate world.

You can watch the full episode on GIBS Business School's official YouTube channel, and some clips are also shared on GIBS social media pages. It's something you can just play, listen, and learn from — no heavy theory, just real talk from real people.

Recently, GIBS received an AAA Rating for high-value practical academics, which honestly matches what we experience in classrooms — more real learning, less theory. GIBS is also consistently ranked among the top business schools in India and South India, especially known for placements, industry exposure, and teaching quality.

The college has won multiple national-level awards for innovation in education, student development, and industry-driven curriculum. These recognitions are something faculty often share with us, and it actually motivates students because we see that our institute is growing every year.

As a student at GIBS, the placement scene is honestly quite strong and visible around campus.

In our recent placement cycle, the highest packages went into double digits, and the average package is solid for freshers, especially for roles in marketing, finance, consulting, HR, and operations. Companies like HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Deloitte, Accenture, Wipro, TCS, Flipkart, Reliance, Asian Paints, along with many good startups, regularly hire from GIBS.

What I personally feel proud about is that I got placed with a package of 11.3 LPA in a good company, which really shows how the opportunities here work if you put in the effort. Many of
