Some events happen regularly each year at Global Institute of Business
Studies! The Orientation program over a series of sessions that commenced on 14th
July 2017 means a grand beginning for the two batches of eager young boys and
girls. The batches of BBA and BCom aspirants would remain immersed in academics
and practical lessons, discovering the industry and their true callings over
the next three years until 2020. They are
fresh out of 12 years of school education and have so much to learn. The business
world with internships and placements does seem a complex universe. The 21st
century existence itself is getting rather difficult amidst all the technology
and controversy, though so much easier with online facilities.
Theradiant occasion
The event goes down as a memorable instance.
Seated on that impressive stage were several luminaries who would light up the
lives of the students. Along with the Chief
Guest Mr. Suresh Babu - Performance Coach, Project Management Professional
& Corporate Trainer, the other eminent personalities included Mr. Ritesh
Goyal – MD, GIBS, Dr. Aparna Rao – Director, GIBS, and Ms. Uzma Nayeem - Head
of Placement, GIBS.
Along with theimposing faculty and
dignitaries, let us wish successful studies and professional accomplishments to
those children of diverse backgrounds who have taken up the business management
challenge. The students were congratulated for obtaining admission into a
prestigious institution like GIBS which is a powerful beginning to the
realization of their corporate dreams. Adjustments take time but as the weeks
and the months of the future unfold in the success-filled Bangalore ambience, a
smooth transition to a new lifestyle would dawn to bring fresh thoughts, hopes
and aspirations. By the end of the course in 2020, your lives would be
transformed after laying a professional foundation to build upon in the yearsto
come. Growing from a seed to a tree may take decades but three years is a short
duration in comparison.
The intensive orientation schedule over
several days includes talks by some experts in the field of business and
education. Along with Dr. Aparna Rao in the first session, Ms. Bhavana would
speak on Career making and the importance of soft skills on 15th July. On
Monday, Prof. Beena speaks on the Importance of Time Management while Ms. Uzma
delivers a talk as Head of Corporate Relations. Dr. Chitra throws light on
Finance and Career Management on Tuesday while Leema and group deal with the
Importance of Communication. On Wednesday, Mr. Shubhendu speaks on Marketing
and Mr. Sriram delivers a talk on General Management. On Thursday, 20th July,
it is the turn of Mr. Pradeep, Senior HR Consultant. Prof Laxmi R. and Mr.
Kumar Sai Deepak take up Team Building Activities. On Friday, Dr. Nandeesh V. Hiremath
speaks on DISHA - Power of Focus for Achieving Success in Career & Life.
The GIBS success story
GIBS has often been in the headlines
in the bustling business education world that India has rapidly become. Honors
and awards, accreditations and rankings continue to grace this towering symbol
of business studies in Bangalore, itself a global city after the software revolution.
Famous for gardens too, the greenery filled 4.5-acre GIBS campus in
Bannerghatta is an intimate focus of all that contemporary management professionals
can dream of.
The IndiaCollegeSearch rankings for 2017 and 2016 both reflect GIBS
and that means so much because millions of students and hundreds of colleges
figure there. Consider some affiliations and accreditations like the University
of Mysore, Bharathiar University, UGC, NAAC, MHRD, ISO, AIMA, and so many more!
What sets GIBS apart
Many thousands of college entrants and graduates try for business
education each year. Courses of varying durations and fee structures,
full-time, part-time and online are available in plenty. Yet what are the job
opportunities later? The dismal truth is that a great majority of businessgraduates
do not succeed in the corporate world andhave to be content with mediocre jobs.
It is a sadstory that is repeated each
year when mighty dreams collapse within a few years.
GIBS has been keeping up with its promises. The hefty fees in business
schools should have valid returns when many students obtain loans for study.
How will the loans be repaid unless the company salaries are good enough?
Well, the two or three years of education come first before postings
are possible through the internship performance, campus interviews and the
selection process. MBA plus PGPM is a
two-year full-time on campus course while PGDM is a one-year course. BBA and
BCom are three-year courses.
A sound investment in your future is the outcome of study at GIBS!
Sound educational practices that combine a diverse mix of academics, presentations,
seminars and workshops with sports and cultural activities in a green campus
keep spirits alive. Industry visits and guest speakers enable a practical approach
that is realistic and achieve a true
understanding of what professional lives would be like after quitting
the institution. GIBS alumni across the world maintain contacts and further the
corporate web that results in outstanding placements.
Learn, Earn and Return
With all the social and humanitarian work activities that GIBS
participates in, it is a sustainable world of values that is imparted to
students. Firstly, it is a challenging world of semester-based work spread over
several study and work modules. Semesters do get rather hectic with assignments
and deadlines along with outings and activities. Together, they keep the clock
ticking to indicate the passing of weeks and months. The countdown has begun.
Like everything else in life, time is not infinite.
After successful placements are received, it is the time to build upon
the foundation created in the institute. Students now know quite welll what to expect, how to talk and behave
and how to find solutions to professional problems. A global business
perspective has been achieved and the ability to work in multicultural
environments learned.
After some years of successful work experience and raising a family,
it is time to reward society for everything that has been received by the grace
of the divine. Joining humanitarian causes and helping environmental
conservation along with art and culture are some areas that need dedicated
efforts.
