It also helps in nurturing entrepreneurship through the incubation center and IRE Talks, which again link the students to industry leaders and provide them with practical exposure. This way, GIBS covers all dimensions of holistic development and placements for MBA and PGDM students at large.

GIBS Business School considers the overall CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT scores for the admission of candidates in the PGDM and MBA programs. Rather than using solely high cut-offs, the entrance test scores are used to judge the aptitude of a candidate in terms of analysis, quant, and verbal for management education at GIBS. Candidates meeting the qualifying cut-off based on their scores would be short-listed for the next stage of selection, which would consist of a Group Discussion (GD) and a Personal Interview (PI). The selection list will be prepared on composite merit considering the following factors: entrance test score, academic performance, communication skills, leadership qualities, and overall personality, hence on equal footing with fresh graduates and working professionals for success in management.

The present faculty-to-student ratio of GIBS Business School, Bangalore, is about 1:15, with one faculty member for every fifteen students. This balanced ratio enables personalized attention, close mentorship, and interactive classroom learning to ensure that each student gets proper academic guidance and support. It helps the faculty understand individual learning needs; provide constructive feedback; and encourage active participation in discussions, projects, and research, ultimately enhancing the overall learning experience, confidence, and career readiness of the students. This makes education at GIBS all the more engaging and outcome-driven.
