What is the sequence of stages in GIBS MBA/PGDM admission (application, SOP, group discussion, personal interview, etc.)?

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.

Hi....

Here's a clear overview of what library, labs, and study areas are generally like in a new or modern campus for PGDM, MBA, and BBA students — based on how top business schools design their academic spaces:

1. Library Facilities

Modern campuses focus on knowledge, research, and comfortable study spaces:

What you typically get

• Large collections of books, textbooks, reference books, journals, magazines, and e-resources/e-journals (online) for management, business, economics, strategy, etc. 

• Digital access for e-books, research databases, and online journals — so you can study on campus or remotely.

• Reading areas & quiet zones designed for individual study and separate group discussion rooms for teamwork. 

• Computers & internet access inside the library, helping you to research and write assignments efficiently. 

 Libraries are often air-conditioned, well-lit, and designed for long reading hours with ergonomic seating.

2. Labs & Technology Support

Computer Labs

Even in PGDM/MBA/BBA programs, technology labs are crucial:

• Computer labs with internet connectivity and modern hardware/software for data analysis, simulations, business research, spreadsheets, etc. 

• These labs support academic learning, project work, presentations, and software tools used in management studies. 

 Some campuses also include specialized labs or centres (e.g., business analytics labs, trading labs, finance simulation labs) in more advanced programs — similar to how IIM Calcutta has a Financial Research and Trading Lab for hands-on exposure to real markets.

3. Study Areas & Other Learning Spaces

Modern campuses aren't just about classrooms — they include:

Dedicated Study Spaces

• Quiet study zones both inside and outside the library

• Group discussion rooms equipped with whiteboards and AV tools

• Common study lounges to work in a relaxed but academic environment

Interactive Learning Areas

• Seminar halls and case discussion rooms with AV systems

• Group project spaces for teamwork

• Coworking style areas where students can collaborate

General Atmosphere You Can Expect

• Clean, modern infrastructure, often air-conditioned

• Wi-Fi across campus for students to access resources from anywhere

• Comfortable reading desks and seating arrangements

• Support staff or librarians to assist with research and finding materials

GIBS Business School had the highest number of recruiters ever to participate in its last placement season — over 220. This means students had many great options across different industries. In addition to this, GIBS also had more than 90 companies that came only for summer internship opportunities; allowing students to get real-world experience and practical learning before entering the workforce full-time. The strong participation by employers shows how committed GIBS is to helping students connect with potential employers and being there for students throughout their career paths. Because of these high numbers of participants at GIBS, students also gained access to companies that offered both full-time positions as well as internships. This enabled students to acquire both skills and confidence while they prepared for future careers.
