When the sun rises over the GIBS Residential Campus …

As the Diwali Festival of Lights descends every year to light up millions of Indian homes and hearts, business management education at GIBS reaches dynamic dimensions. Unlike fast food, everything in life happens by degrees and study and careers require umpteen years to succeed. It seems a never-ending process of climbing scholastic and professional ladders across at least fifteen years of school and college education combined. By that time, students have essentially lost all patience and wait anxiously for certified success in order to accumulate the good things of life.
Global Institute of Business Studies should be considered a lucky institution, for the batches of students that enroll each year and for the educational authorities too. Accumulating honors and awards have become a regular feature at GIBS. Certain principles remain the driving factors behind this prestigious institution, and student accomplishment, dedication to the uplift of society and social and humanitarian causes have been at the heart of it. What lies beyond the boundaries of the smashing 4.5-acre green campus is as important as what happens inside each day after the sun rises.
Industry-specific training and global networks provide the best placements
While the academics, seminars and workshops, classes and projects take place within the campus, professional achievements will occur outside in the companies and industries after internships and placements. While each boy and girl has duties towards fulfilling all the course requirements successfully and on time, the faculty and institution have many duties too. Institutional responsibility increases immensely in residential campuses and students work better too in an ambience of mutual give and take like within a large family.
Year-ending activities for 2017
Navaratri has come and gone in late September with amazing grace, celebrated across India by several names like Dassera in honor of Goddess Durga. The inspiring mythology of victory of good over evil continues with Diwali that depicts the celebrations after the return of the triumphant Lord Rama. October 18th will be that stupendous Diwali occasion when the night sky will light up in the radiance of truth and the blessings of the almighty are showered upon us all. So it has happened for ages in the Indian culture and will continue forever. May the students at GIBS derive strength and inspiration from these two mighty festivals to pursue their studies with diligence and embark on lustrous professional careers.
Come November and the Quality Improvement Program is scheduled early in the first week on the 4th. That would feature another occasion for introspection and understanding priorities. Automation and technology sometimes make us think that no human effort is needed. Most people take things for granted nowadays and perhaps they are making a mistake.
Business management students are busy studying professional courses directly connected with employment. A good placement is a final proof of success after all that time, labor, and money spent over several semesters. November 11th presents the supremely important occasion of the JOB Fair at the Bannerghatta Road Campus. Just like students are in search of the best jobs, companies too are looking for superb workers. The problem is to find a meeting ground where they can connect. Such occasions build bridges between employers and would-be business executives who need to come aboard at some point of the company ladder.
The day that every student across the globe dreams of will dawn for the MBA batch of 2015-17 on November 18th. The date is not too far away next month, the date with destiny known as the Convocation Day. It is certainly the most thrilling adventure when the degree is formally conferred upon the students as a reward for educational attainment. It has been a long academic journey after passing a degree course after the successful completion of Class 12. They certainly deserve the MBA after showing tremendous resilience, infinite patience and working hard labor through the semesters. May the Convocation become a beginning for further professional goals being fulfilled, just as they have succeeded every year through school and college.
After all the academic stresses and the compulsion to complete projects and assignments on time according to certain standards, lighter moments are certainly necessary. Physical relaxation and entertainment, cultural programs, drama, and films form part of the activities in addition to the exciting and motivating club activities that help to develop interests and skills.
Selection of the Student of the Year for 2017 on November 25th will certainly keep everybody guessing. Look forward to plenty of action and drama, and a few disappointments too, but take everything in the best spirit.
Several clubs have finalized their inauguration dates but some have not. CSR Committee and Gardening, Library, Women Empowerment, and Maintenance Clubs have not decided upon inauguration dates yet.
Communications Club, Creativity Committee and HR Club will be inaugurated on 10th October. Marketing Club, Entrepreneurship Club and Finance Club will be inaugurated on 14th October. Mess Committee will go into action between 16-18 October.
Club Activities
Sports and Fitness Committee has identified 22 November as the Sports Day. Selection rounds have commenced. Creativity Committee will hold a carnival. Photography Club will hold the final round. Entrepreneurship Club will hold a presentation by five profitable business teams. Finance Club will have the final round of case analysis. Marketing club works on how to revive a lost product. Communications club works on Mime and a presentation on communications. HR Club has planned a situation based on HR activities. Mess Committee plans food identification on 16th, plate decoration on 17th and master chef on 18th.
