GIBS will assist with getting students into job positions that match their specialisation through academic planning, industry exposure and career support, rather than a generic model of job placement. From the beginning, students work with faculty and the placement centre to explore what their interests and career goals are (for example marketing, finance, HR, analytics, operations or entrepreneurship) and develop the appropriate skill sets and opportunities related to those interests.

Specialisation Program: All courses have been designed to meet each major's criteria with real-life examples and projects, as well as assessments to develop skills in your area of expertise.

Skill Development Workshops: Ongoing workshops are offered to improve students' abilities in the respective areas of expertise, with certification opportunities (example: digital marketing, financial modelling or HR analytics), which enhance students' profiles.

Industry Interactions and Guest Speakers: Industry experts will provide guest lectures, mentorship and networking opportunities to provide students with valuable insight into their industries, so that they can align their learning with expectations of the industry.

Internships and Live Projects: Students have the opportunity to experience internships in their field of study and gain valuable work experience and develop strong resumes for full-time employment.

Personalized Placement Support: The placement cell offers mock interviews, resume reviews, and coaching for specific companies to help students prepare for the role in which they will work.

Businesses Connect: Recruiters/Educators have a connection to help students pursuing a specific domain (e.g., research analyst, financial consultant, HR executive) have the opportunity to apply for positions suited to great career paths.

Both these initiatives offer students the chance to have a deep understanding of their major and be connected with a greater number of recruiters that value a transition to those disciplines and improve the likelihood of obtaining connected employment.

The Graduate Institute of Business Studies (GIBS) has a comprehensive training programme that equips students with the skills necessary to succeed in placement interviews and assessments. The training begins at the beginning of the Shortened Completion Programme (SCP) and follows a step-by-step approach.
During the SCP, students complete regular aptitude training in quantitative ability, logical reasoning, and verbal skills. This type of training includes the completion of mock assessments designed to replicate real-life company assessments.
In addition, GIBS conducts mock interviews, group discussions, and personal interview practice. Faculty and industry experts provide feedback to improve students' confidence and ability to communicate during the interview process.
GIBS's Placement Team works closely with each student to assist them in building an effective resume, aligning their work profile with their career aspirations, and preparing for HR-type interview questions. Each student learns to recognise their own strengths and how to articulate their career path based on their specialisation.
In addition to these components, GIBS also provides technical and professional development through the process of providing students with soft-skills training, attending personality development sessions, and attending corporate etiquette workshops so that they will be interview-ready for final placements.
