Most common reasons why someone gets rejected during GIBS admission rounds:
Incomplete application — like missing documents, wrong details, or not uploading everything properly.
Very low entrance exam scores — GIBS is flexible, but they still expect a basic score to consider you.
Poor communication during GD/PI — if the candidate isn't able to express themselves clearly or has no clarity about why they want to join.
No seriousness or preparation — some people come without knowing anything about the course or the college, which doesn't look good.
Weak SOP — if the SOP looks copied or doesn't show the student's real interest or goal

Submit your SOP – A small write-up about why you want to join GIBS. Nothing too complicated.
Group Discussion (GD) – A short, friendly discussion with other applicants. They mainly check how you talk and think.

At GIBS, honestly most of the companies that come for placements are MNCs — easily around 70–80%. That's something I personally like because you get exposure to big brands and proper corporate culture.
Some of the common names we keep hearing on campus are like IBM, Deloitte, Accenture, Byju's, Wipro, Amazon, HDFC Bank, Wells Fargo, and many more.
So yeah, the placement scene at GIBS is pretty solid, and the mix of MNCs gives students a lot of options to explore.
