Hi.
Criteria are used to decide academic excellence and special achievement awards for students at GIBS.
Criteria for Academic Excellence Awards
Academic awards at GIBS, such as the Shakuntala Devi Award (Academic Topper) and the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Award (2nd Best Academic Topper), are primarily based on quantifiable academic success.
Key criteria include:
- Top Scores: Achieving the highest marks (or second/third the highest) in PGDM or BBA programs.
- Consistent Performance: For certain scholarships, a consistent track record of high marks (e.g., above 80% or 85%) in 10th, 12th, and graduation is required.
- Entrance Exam Scores: Initial scholarships for new students are awarded based on high percentiles in national-level entrance exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT.
Criteria for Special Achievement Awards
Special achievement awards, such as the J.P. Goyal Memorial Award (Student of the Year) and the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award (Research & Publication), use broader criteria that go beyond just grades.
The selection for these awards considers a range of factors:
- Leadership Skills: Demonstrating strong leadership qualities within the institution and in events.
- Active Involvement: Significant participation in campus societies, core committees for internal events, and community services.
- Research and Innovation: Publishing high-quality research papers or demonstrating innovation and creativity.
- External Competitions: Participation in and winning accolades at various management festivals and events conducted by other institutions.
- Conduct and Punctuality: Consistently maintaining a positive attitude, good conduct, attendance, and punctuality.
- Personal Development: Showing overall personal growth and development during the course of study.
