“In an era where Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship are the buzzes, GIBS has allowed us to be a part of the three major pillars I.R.E and have a deep understanding of the same. For a first-generation wannabe entrepreneur like myself who’s learning, acquiring new skills & taking risks to create new businesses and opportunities…this program is like a blessing to me. Also finishing school is making sure that we are groomed & well trained to face the other side of the world. We honestly feel blessed to get such an astonishing opportunity for all of us to be a part of finishing school. We get to know our weaknesses & finishing school is helping us to fix them. I hope we graduate with a cent % in finishing school as well.”
- Amit Panicker | PGDM Batch 2020-22

The subjects are covered with such clarity and detail, that no matter which academic background one comes from, the learning is both satisfying and rewarding.

“I'm Henry Raja A, a first-year PGDM student from the 2021 batch. I am completely delighted with my decision to pursue my PGDM at GIBS School. As a whole, the faculty takes good care of its pupils, both academically and socially. I had no prior experience of the corporate sector before enrolling in the institution, but after enrolling, I found the course to be quite intriguing and interactive. It went into detail, and I believe that is what sets this course apart from others in that it genuinely prepares you for the job.”
Henry Raja A | PGDM Batch 2021–23

“GIBS is like an open platform of opportunities for everyone. Exposure to knowledge and learning is quite a real thing at GIBS. I chose GIBS because of its unique and highly career-oriented programs like IRE School, where the students will be guided to think differently and have a unique approach towards different situations. Professors here are not only the regular academics concerned, but also help the students to think practical and bring out the best in them. In every gaining step we take or ideas we think about, the professors will always try their best to give us as much support and guidance as they can. GIBS for me is like a bunch of crazy people who came in to create wonders through educating empty minds. It’s a great opportunity for me to be exposed to such a college with varied cultures and amazing programs blended into it.”
Eduri Pratima Gayatri | PGDM Batch 2021–23
