What are the flagship programs offered at GIBS Bangalore, and what is the focus of the curriculum for each?

At GIBS, the support for internships and placements is honestly very solid. We have a dedicated placement team that keeps bringing companies, helps us with resumes, mock interviews, and all the prep we need. Every week we have Finishing School sessions where we work on communication, confidence, and all the small things that matter in the corporate world.

Plus, we get real projects, live assignments, and IRE sessions where we learn innovation and even get support if we want to start a business. Mentors and alumni also guide us a lot. Overall, GIBS makes sure we're fully ready for internships and placements in a very practical and helpful way.

GIBS students are very active when it comes to organizing cultural fests, leadership programs, and sports events. Most of the events on campus are actually student-driven — we plan, coordinate, and manage everything with guidance from faculty. Whether it's cultural festivals, DJ nights, freshers, farewell, or themed events, students take the lead and make it lively.

Even for leadership activities, IRE sessions, and management events, students handle hosting, planning, and teamwork. Sports events are also fully filled with energy, with students participating and helping organize matches and tournaments. Overall, the involvement is very high, and it creates a strong sense of teamwork, confidence, and fun on campus.

• Mentorship and Guidance: Faculty often act as mentors, offering guidance not only in academics but also in career planning and personal issues. They are described as being available for students beyond regular class hours to resolve queries and provide support.
• Industry Experience and Real-World Application: Many professors are highly qualified with extensive industry experience, enabling them to blend theoretical knowledge with practical, real-world examples and case studies. This approach helps students connect classroom learning to corporate applications.
• Friendly and Cooperative Nature: The faculty is consistently described as friendly, cooperative, and easy to approach. This fosters a positive and comfortable learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussions.
• Focus on Holistic Development: Teachers at GIBS focus on the overall growth of students, including personality development, communication skills, and moral values, not just the syllabus.
• Supportive Placement Process: Faculty members work closely with the placement cells, offering support during resume building, mock interviews, and training sessions to prepare students for recruitment.
