Ranjith SC's Review On GIBS Business School, Bangalore

Students will have to write an entrance exam such as MAT/CAT/XAT/CMAT/ATMA/GMAT or State Level Entrance Exam to get admitted into this course. Then you have to apply online for the admission on the college website. This is followed by a GD/PI round. They also give weightage to graduation marks and work experience.

The course is well-designed and adheres to the Mysore University course curriculum for the MBA. Along with MBA studies, I managed to get certifications in Digital Marketing, Project Management, SAP, Six Sigma and Sports Management.

I found an internship with Fortis Healthcare and I worked on the financial performance analysis of the organisation. This helped my hone my finance management understanding as taught in the MBA course.

The placement cell has excellent tie-ups with corporate companies and they take a lot o efforts to achieve 100% placements. Very big brands come to the campus every year for recruitment. They have arranged placements with many companies like Berger Paints, ACT, Justdial, BharatMatrimony, PWC, LIC, Reliance, ICICI, etc.

I participated in CSR Activities. I was a core team member of Sports Club and a core team member of Finance club. There are many management related activities on campus to choose from and you must wisely make your choice based on your career interests.

INR 5.1 lakhs is the total fee to be paid in 3 instalments. This includes MBA + PGPM + Six Sigma Program + SAP + Project Management + Campus to Corporate (C2C) Program + Certification Programme by Google & Microsoft + Laptop+ Life skill & Innovation Programme + Industrial Visits + Uniform.

There is the Goenka Merit Scholarship. Students are advised to check the college website for more info.

Campus life is very stress-free as you are away from the world and in a very clean place in Tamil Nadu. They have built very nice buildings and sports complexes. The crowd is good. You get great diversity in the students and the academic and extra-curricular environment is very intellectually stimulating.

Hostel facility is awesome. It is excellently maintained. They have hostel buildings and villa style hostels. Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner + Luxurious Accommodation + TV + 24/7 Security = Rs.84,000/- Per annum

They follow the semester pattern of exams.

The faculty is average here. Don't expect quality comparable to highly ranked B-Schools in India. They cover the syllabus and this is what matters. The college makes great efforts to bring in industry professionals to teach us. This helps to provide critical industry insights while getting classroom teaching.
