Business management professionals are succeeding well after GIBS courses




The complexities of education in India are truly mind-boggling if you consider the numbers of institutes and students! Further, thinking of the number of professions and specializations can be terrifying. Happy and peaceful are the tiny countries with little to worry about, even though they may lack economic strength and military might. A few neighbors across the Indian border are very good examples.

In terms of business management education, the spread of educational degrees commenced in the 1960s and one can imagine how many thousands of graduates have successfully graduated thus far. Yet, has the education truly succeeded in generating capable business managers? The answer is that theoretical education is most common and internships and placements are hard to come by. According to research, a majority of the Indian business graduates is actually unemployable.
After the proliferation of business schools initially, recent years have witnessed the closing down of many management institutes. They have not sustained efforts at training hard-hitting management professionals, but only distributors of fake degrees that carry no weight in the local situation, let alone global scenarios. 

Yet, India continues to remain one of the largest centers for business education, rivaled only by China and America. Regarding the quality of educational experiences, severe doubts remain. Isn’t that surprising when the syllabus and curriculum taught across the world deal with the same topics and employ the same techniques? The speeding up of technology and the benefits of software ensure that information is passed across the continents within a matter of seconds!

Fulfill your dreams at Global Institute of Business Studies in Bannerghatta, Bangalore

Fortunately, a few business schools in India continue to work on a war footing and create professionals who can withstand global competition and feel at home in multicultural environments. An outgoing personality that possesses strong communication skills in speech and writing would be suited for such work. Like the Americans, an immense passion to work and succeed would ensure accomplishment.

GIBS conducts the MBA and PGDM courses for graduates with some work experience. Students who possess a Class 12 pass would qualify for the undergraduate courses BBA and BCOM. Which course would you opt for?

The GIBS world class green campus and infrastructure are inspiring enough, encouraging authentic educational experiences in a vast 4.5-acre temple of scholarship. The home away from home does involve boys and girls from across India and several foreign countries in several semesters of achievement, where committees and activities, workshops and seminars are constantly pushing them towards personality building and academic attainment. Field visits and internships bring experiences of the many MNCs that have made Bangalore their base with manufacturing and services available. Placements would finally come and grand ones too for those who have endeavored with commitment besides possessing the innate skills and aptitude that the course requires.

Celebrities and industry leaders are often visiting the campus and sharing valuable experiences that reveal the stunning truths of the profession that may not be found in books and the media. The practical approach and the realistic understanding of the industry is what most business graduates fail to comprehend. The mismatch between the theory in the books and the actual working conditions lead to a lot of dissatisfaction and mediocre jobs are the final choice.

The future of business education lies in successful specialization

As compared to the previous decades when a management degree was sufficient to ensure professional success, the 21st century has brought immense change. Not only has manufacturing and services boomed worldwide, but technology seems to be taking over. Automation and AI are found almost in every sector and software programs and specialized applications serve every little purpose. As the technology culture spreads to the interiors and remote towns and villages of India, it is certain that a new and better way of life is emerging. 

Are the business managers really required? The answer is a big yes. Managers need to specialize.  A single size fits all solution is never found. Healthcare or Hospitality, Food or Retail business, Communications and Manufacture, Travel and Tourism have their specialized needs. Administration and Banking, Accounting and Investment are all getting so very specific. Previously, it was an age of knowing more and more. Now, it is an age of knowing less but getting the right information and specific training.

You need to get passionate about particular fields!

In order to achieve senior positions in the professional ladder of the present, particular fields must be aimed for. A boy or girl who is interested in hospitality would preferably need both a degree in hospitality and a degree in management. Not everybody is lucky to possess dual degrees but perhaps the second degree may be possible after some years of employment and savings and experience. Never give up working, studying and trying. Don’t we remain students all our lives?
