The campus has well-equipped computer labs with internet access, a library with good collection of management books, journals, and digital resources, and a dedicated training and development (T&D) room for training and personality development.

      5

      Academics

      Academic at GIBS is solid. I'm doing my PGDM and the teaching faculty are genuinely good. Faculty explain concepts clearly and are always ready to clear doubts even outside class hours. Curriculum feels updated and practical, not just theory, we get case studies and and real business examples which helps connect classroom learning to how things actually works in the industry. What I really like is programs like CPMP(Certification in Personal Mastery Program), which focuses on making us more employable and industry ready, IRE(Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship), a signature program of GIBS that pushes us to think beyond textbook, and BMP( Business Mastery Program), which helps us understand real business challenges and apply classroom knowledge in real action.

      College Infra

      Infrastructure at GIBS is pretty good. Classrooms are spacious with smart boards, so lectures are never boring. The library has a good collection of books and journals, and it's actually quiet enough to study there. Wi-Fi works fine across campus, which is a big help for assignments and research. I'm a day scholar, so I haven't stayed in the hostel, but from what I have seen, it looks clean and well-kept.

      Campus Life

      Campus life at GIBS is really good, honestly, one of my favourite parts. There's always something going on, cultural fest, guest lectures, sports events, and club activities, so it never feels monotonous.

      Placements

      Since we are going into our 2nd year, our batch has not been through placement yet, so I'm sharing what I know from the previous batch's records and what seniors have told us. GIBS had a strong placement season, with the highest package touching around 20 LPA and the average package being around 8.2 LPA. Over 260 companies visited campus, including names like Amazon, Mahindra Finance, Wipro, Accenture, etc. Seniors have mentioned the placement cell is quite active; they conduct regular training and mock interviews.We have seen it during our internship placement; they were very helpful and guided us through the entire process.

      Value For Money

      Course fee for our PGDM Batch was around 9.5 lakhs for the full program. Honestly, it feels worth it considering the infrastructure, faculty support, and programs like IRE, CPMP, and BMP that add real practical value beyond just classroom teaching. We also get exposure through internships and industry interaction, which adds to the learning.
