What is the minimum graduation percentage required for MBA/PGDM at GIBS Bangalore?

Industry Exposure at GIBS Business School is integrated into the curriculum as a continuous and structured part of instruction, rather than just one event. GIBS conducts the following types of activities to keep students connected with industry:

• Guest Speaker Series (also called Corporate Talks) are held on average every month to every other month throughout the term to bring industry leaders (many of whom are HR professionals) into campus as speakers to give Motivating Talks and share their insights about the industries they represent.
• Industry visits (multiple visits scheduled and organised each semester) allow students to gain first-hand knowledge of the operation of businesses in different industries, i.e. manufacturing, logistics, finance, and IT. These visits offer students a better understanding of the Industry from an operational perspective.
• Alumni Sessions & Webinars (held regularly by the GIBS alumni who return to campus for career events to share their career experiences) occur most frequently prior to placement and internship activities, during which time alumni are able to inform students of the expectations they had when they entered the workforce and give advice about how best to prepare for interviews.

The new GIBS Business School campus is designed with the comfort and enjoyment of students in mind. The campus offers many options for social interaction, relaxation, and enjoyment outside of academics. Examples of these spaces include open lawns and landscaped garden areas, where students can relax or socialize between classes. Common areas and lounges, where students can collaborate in groups or hang out informally, and indoor spaces with games, seating, and other recreational activities where students can take a break from their studies and relax during the day, are also available. In addition to these spaces, there are also cafeteria/mess areas that function as social hubs for students, and there are also dedicated areas for yoga, fitness, and meditation to help students with relaxation and well-being. Together, these types of spaces create a healthy balance for students to unwind, connect with their fellow students, and restore their energy throughout the day.

The new GIBS Business School campus has been thoughtfully designed to provide students with hostel rooms and study areas that are comfortable, student-friendly, and conducive for both relaxing and studying. The hostel accommodations are furnished, well-ventilated, and contain the necessary features such as Wi-Fi, study desks, linens, and secure entrance access, which help to create a safe and secure living space for students. Students have access to several common study areas, relaxation areas, and quiet study zones where they can prepare for classes, work on class projects, and work with fellow students without distractions. Overall, the campus's facilities are an ideal balance of being comfortable, convenient, and supporting academics, allowing students to remain settled and focused for the entire semester.

New GIBS Business School facility is created as a facility that makes it easier to execute events on both large and small scales; however, in addition to being easy to carry out events, it was also developed with taking into account travelling times, distances travelled for events, etc. All new physical features and design have been carefully analysed, tested, and analysed again; to provide better overall experiences to both students and faculty at the campus. Using a lot of space to host technology events is possible at GIBS; Built-in technologies (e.g., Internet connectivity) will be used to assist students in finding out more about the technology/event they wish to attend. The expanded space will enable GIBS to host an increased number of events and provide students with the opportunity to network with many companies using several technologies on-site.

In addition to using the expanded technology spaces, GIBS has expanded areas within its existing infrastructure (e.g., in terms of existing facilities, event venues, and more) to allow greater flexibility for managing event attendees; and optimised the design of existing facilities (e.g. corridor layout, rooms' ceiling heights, etc.) so that more attendees can access them without becoming overwhelmed. Also, all new event space has ample (or well-structured) exhibit space for exhibitors and vendors.

Compared to the previous setup, GIBS Business School now has a vastly improved and upgraded campus for its classrooms, laboratories, and social spaces (common areas). Classrooms now have significantly improved space and comfort, allowing longer and more interactive discussions without being as exhausting as in the previous campus. Laboratory and activity rooms utilize modern equipment and layouts to facilitate hands-on project work and experiential learning effectively. In addition, lounges, common open areas (lawns), benches, and informal gathering areas give numerous areas to relax and interact while completing group projects, thereby producing an improved atmosphere and a much more welcoming and student-centred campus community. The campus feels larger due to its superior design and provides more productive academic and social collaboration opportunities for students.
