What Students Say

Likes

The corporate like culture which is being followed
The exclusive programs being provided apart from the course

Course Curriculum Overview

The teaching pedagogy if structured in such a way that it aligns with the industry standards and trends. The course is mix of both theoretical and practical learning experience which makes us ready to dive into the corporate world.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Internships Opportunities

We had internship opportunities from various companies like, Aditya birla, Flipkart, Bosch, Settlin, KPMG and so on with an average stipend of around 10000 per month. The projects that we had undertaken were related to our specialization and internship roles

Placement Experience

There is a well defined placement team in our campus which takes care of the placement activities. We will be eligible for placements from our 2nd year. Around 90% of students are getting placed every year.

Fees and Financial Aid

The overall fee structure is 900000 which can be paid in three equal installments. This fees includes the tuitions fees, industrial visits, mentoring sessions, library access, Training sessions and SME sessions.

Campus Life

The campus life is the best part to talk about in GIBS. We have many intra college activities and fests that helps is to relieve ourselves from our day to day busy schedules a bit. There are various clubs that organized various events.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel facilities are good and worth for the fees. Rooms are clean and tidy. Day to day maintenance is being carried out. The meal quality and menu can be improved a bit. The registraton process for availing hostel facilities is way simple.

Hostel Fee: INR 120000 per year

Admission

I chose this college over others because there are certain exclusive programs like IRE( Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship) and CPMP(Certificate in Personal Mastery Program) which equips us with the real worlds needs apart from just the textbook learnings

Faculty

The faculties are well equipped with the adequate subject knowledge. There is student faculty ratio of 20:1 which makes it easier to have an one on one interaction with the concerned faculties after college hours also.

Interview Experience

I just had a personal interview as part of my joining process where I was evaluated with some critical and analytical questions. I was asked to give a self introduction, followed up with various situation based questions. Once I cleared the interview, I received a confirmation mail from the college regarding the admission process.

Night Life

The night life at GIBS is a thing not to be missed of. There are various night out spots available in our campus like the gym, cafeteria parking space etc. There are various shops located at a reachable distance from the campus and also the locality if very safe to roam and hang around with friends

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

Likes

The college is usually focused on creating a transformative experience for the students. The students here get exposed to practical knowledge more than just theoretical knowledge in classes.
All the subjects include projects which is mandatory which makes the students to get real time experiences outside the college by meeting people outside college.
The students also get to work on a tight schedule throughout their MBA which is a great thing, there will always be something to keep us occupied like events, competitions and sessions which gives real world exposure to students

Dislikes

The college is strict in most of the aspects as they maintain high discipline all the time
Hostel closing time is at 9PM, so it's more restriction on students to go out and order food

Placement Experience:

The placements are good. The college has totally 6 semesters and after the 4th semester the students are eligible to attend the placements. The students need a minimum of 4.8/8.00 CGGA to sit in the placements The companies which visit here are - EY, KPMG, Mindsprint, Lowe's, Accenture, Tata Power, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Sabre, Oxane, Well's Fargo. The highest package was from Lowe's and the package was 23.7 LPA and the role was Product manager, it was offered for people from engineering background and with 2 years of experience. The average package here is 10.5LPA and most of the companies come for this range. The percentage of students getting placed is close to 95% as some of them don't clear the eligibility and some don't get placement event with good CGPA. Plans after getting degree is to join work and continue to learn

Presidency review by MBA student

Placement Experience:

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.
