    From my personal experience, having completed my PGDM at GIBS Bangalore, I can say it's a great choice compared to other colleges. The teachers are supportive and experienced, helping students learn both theory and practical business skills. The campus has good facilities like classrooms, library, and labs, making learning comfortable.

    I had amazing opportunities for internships and placements with well-known companies, which gave me real-world experience. Overall, my time at GIBS was fantastic, and it provided a strong environment for learning, building skills, and starting a career in management.

    While both GIBS and IBMR Bangalore are considered good business schools, GIBS has better placement records, a more modern learning approach, and an industry-oriented curriculum. GIBS provides 100% placement assistance with average packages of ₹7.8 LPA, with the best companies visiting the campus for placements. GIBS believes in practical exposure and, therefore, has introduced the IRE School and Finishing School for better employability of its students. IBMR also provides good academic exposure through its MBA + PGPM, but as far as placement opportunities, industry connection, and on-campus experience are concerned, GIBS Bangalore is

    GIBS Business School is generally preferred over IBMR due to its autonomous PGDM program, strong industry exposure, and better placement records. GIBS offers experiential learning through its Finishing School and corporate tie-ups, while IBMR provides a university-affiliated MBA with additional certifications. Though IBMR is more affordable, GIBS delivers better ROI and campus life. Overall, GIBS is considered the better choice for career growth and practical business education.

    I would like to suggest GIBS for your higher studies. GIBS is the best option for management studies. GIBS offers PGDM which is equivalent to MBA. The PGDM Programme gives high employment opportunities for the students and equal orientation to both theory and practical concepts. GIBS Business School is very student-friendly and offers a variety of learning opportunities that are relevant to today's employment market.

    Hi Dear, well. GIBS is the Best Choice for Management studies. GIBS offers a PGDM programme that is an MBA substitute. I highly recommend the GIBS B-school in Bangalore. The institute is an AICTE-approved autonomous college associated with Bangalore University. The infrastructure and amenities are in good shape. It is the first IRE college in India. It has a long history of internships and job placements.

    Given that it is one of Bangalore's most prestigious colleges, I would suggest GIBS Bangalore. The PGDM programme at GIBS is an MBA-equivalent programme. Access to the best institutional infrastructure is one of the benefits of attending a prestigious university. The median wage was Rs 4.2 LPA, and the average salary package was Rs 6.30 LPA. Coca-Cola, Paytm, Amazon, Puma, Bose, Toyota, Flipkart, Oracle, Havells, Axis Bank, Tata Motors, and others were some of the top employers. About 600 businesses.

    I would recommend GIBS Bangalore because it is one of Bangalore's most prestigious colleges. The most important activities at GIBS are IRE and completing school. I enjoy how GIBS follows a 3:7 pattern, emphasizing theory 30% of the time and practicality 70% of the time. GIBS Bangalore is a management school where talents are cultivated, ambitions are nourished, ideas are shared, and dreams are realized. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved GIBS to offer a PGDM programme.
