    Academics

    The academics includes less of theory and more of practical activities which helps the students to keep the concepts in the subconscious mind and also a great advantage while writing the exams. I have personally implemented most of my practical learnings in my real life. The IRE School and CPMP School is love. These 2 courses are one more reasons for me to be here where I am. As the faculties are good it was not difficult for me to understand the concepts.

    College Infra

    The campus infrastructure is good and on point, from the entrance to till the top floor, all the facilities are available at the campus. I like the Auditorium space specially as we used to have many practical activities there. Overall for any PGDM aspirant this campus fulfills the needs.

    Campus Life

    As I am more interested in cultural activities, I made the best utilization of all the opportunities available at the campus. I still miss the hostel life which we used to enjoy. I would say that our hostel was Mini Bharath! Definately. Overall I enjoyed both the studies and extra activities.

    Placements

    The placements are pretty good, the companies from different domains and packages had come when I was studying and I also heard that the recent highest domastic package is 16.15 LPA that's really great. Mohan sir who is the placements Dean had assisted me a lot in this and the best part is life time placement assistance to all the students.

    Value For Money

    If you are someone who is open for learning and ready to explore different things and ready to sacrifice 2 years then GIBS id definitely worth it. I also got the chance to meet and interact with many VP's, CEO and most of the people from Shark Tank. Definitely loved it.

    Campus Life

    The life here at GIBS is just amazing, we have students from different states and we come together and celebrate each and every festival. The college gives a different life style. 1 year have been a roller coaster ride for me.

    Placements

    Placement here is highest 15lakhs and averages is of 7.5 lakhs. I think it is a pretty good number for a B school for placement. The dean of placement is good and is very helpful. We are made placement ready at GIBS.
