Hi.
GIBS recognize faculty and students separately through annual awards or recognition ceremonies.
GIBS hosts a dedicated, annual "Student of the Year" (SOTY) event to celebrate student accomplishments. This gala ceremony is a major event in the academic calendar and focuses entirely on student excellence.
Key aspects of the student recognition include:
- Multiple Award Categories: Students are recognised for diverse achievements beyond academics, including leadership, research, innovation, and extra-curricular activities.
- Prestigious Awards: Specific awards include the J.P. Goyal Memorial Award (Student of the Year), the Shakuntala Devi Award (Academic Topper), the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Award, and the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award (Research & Publication).
- Public Ceremony: The event features cultural performances, esteemed guests, and a formal awards presentation, allowing students to be recognised in front of their peers, faculty, and family.
For Faculty: Separate Recognition Systems
While a specific, standalone "Faculty Awards Night" with the same high-profile event style as the SOTY event is not explicitly mentioned in the same way, faculty recognition occurs through different mechanisms:
- IRE Conference & Awards: Faculty, along with industry experts and researchers, participate in the annual GIBS Innovation, Research, and Entrepreneurship (IRE) Conference & Awards, where research contributions are likely recognized.
- Institutional Recognition: The institution recognizes its faculty and staff as integral to achieving institutional honors and rankings (e.g., A+ rankings, NBA accreditation) through internal communications and institutional events.
- Convocation Ceremony: Faculty members are present at the annual convocation ceremony where they honor individual student achievements, implicitly highlighting their role in student success.
