Global Institute of Business Studies, serves many boys and girls as the bridge that links the
innocent school years and the professional life. The working life at the
different levels may very well last a lifetime with more and more people nowadays
not retiring from an active lifestyle until the very end. The career path needs
to be very carefully chosen in view of the fact that most of the adult years
would be spent chasing that particular dream.
Except the basics of the surroundings,
not very much is learned in the school. The formative years in school are certainly
very important in imbibing the ethics and values that make us what we are. Yet,
higher thinking and the pursuit of professional goals would be possible only in
tertiary education when the complexities of professional life sink into the
consciousness. Higher secondary school does bring an introduction to the higher
thinking and a certain level of juvenile maturity is attained.
Bachelors and
masters courses at GIBS
After completing Class 12 or the
equivalent pre-university course, the boys and girls could join the graduate
course at GIBS like the BBA or BCom, three-year degree courses that consist of
six semesters. Those who have already graduated with at least fifteen years of
combined school and college education would qualify for the postgraduate
courses MBA or PGDM.
Specialized
instruction in business management
Unlike institutions that teach a number
of courses in different subject areas like mass media, fashion and textiles,
hospitality and law, GIBS concentrates on a
single area. The advantage is an immense level of competence in the
chosen subject. All the research and practice, thinking and planning and
faculty, everything is geared towards the accomplishment of knowledge and
awareness of a single subject. Don’t you think that would be an advantage in a
world that values specialization so much?
The contemporary
knowledge explosion!
Information technology and software have
facilitated the immediate copying and transfer globally of vast bodies of
knowledge. Nothing remains private now and the curriculum taught in business
schools in America and England are quite the same as the courses taught in GIBS.
The faculty and the delivery, the student experiences and the facilities may
differ. GIBS has set up a very impressive 4.5 acre green campus in the peaceful
suburban Bangalore that encourages the most competitive study and
accomplishment of corporate knowledge and skills.
Like in show business, business is a
field where the personality and the expressions, the aura and the communication
in speech and writing mean so much. Interacting with clients and customers in a
range of settings and promoting agreements and friendships is important.
Multicultural settings and services abroad in mega MNCs require a sustained
effort where you cannot take things sitting down.
In spite of a faculty that is experienced
and industry wise and hailing from several countries, an adequate educational
infrastructure would still be necessary to produce excellent business managers.
GIBS possesses the requisite infrastructure to enable boys and girls from near
and far to settle down comfortably in the well-organized hostel systems with
communications, transport, health and banking facility within reach, along with
excellent cuisine.
This home away from home may be difficult
for some students to adjust with, like those who always lived at home with
parents during the schooling years. Yet, most are able to adjust very well to
the new independent lifestyle that does encourage an active lifestyle, though
they must be careful not to adopt the wrong path. Whether four or six
semesters, it is a long journey that requires diligence and lots of patience,
since it happens one day at a time. Education is certainly not a fairy tale
where you suddenly find yourself transformed!
Consider the
performances of the previous batches
While deliberating on which subject and
which institute to join, the best guide is the past placement records of the
institution. Each year brings happy endings to a majority of students who have
performed excellently and find superb placement opportunities with leading
companies. It is the achievement of the placement committee, the advisory board
and the international networking as a result of the GIBS alumni efforts that
together makes it all possible.
Learning business management theories and
practical training is different from becoming well rounded professionals who
can shine as a business manager and tolerate the stresses of live action.
Taking crucial decisions and managing a workforce may be some of the
challenging duties.
A positive training schedule from writing
resumes to facing interviews and participation in group discussions molds the
working personality well. Interaction with industry leaders and the internships
expose them to real working conditions. That is often the cause of conflict
because of the wide differences between the educational materials and the
workplace conditions.
