As a student, a typical day at GIBS Bangalore's 10-acre campus would look something like this:

• Morning: I start the day by reaching campus and attending my first classes of the day. The classrooms are spacious, and the environment is really good for learning. Sometimes, we have group discussions or case studies which make the morning interactive.

• Afternoon: After classes, we usually have a lunch break in the campus cafeteria. The afternoon is again for lectures or practical sessions depending on the subject. We also get time for library study or project work.
