The Dynamic Clubs and Committees That Operate Within GIBS And Beyond

Especially for students getting an opportunity of a lifetime to study for a degree or diploma at Global Institute of Business Studies, Bangalore, the action-filled clubs and committees mean so much. A variety of activities, interests and areas of expertise make up the successful corporate persona. 

Training and teamwork, soft skills and personality development all work together in phases through several semesters to result in a proactive character that will run the extra mile. Lucky are the organizations that have GIBS alumni on their staff. The students have been making a mighty name for themselves globally.

Hailing from diverse backgrounds and new to the GIBS culture, many students find intimate success in the numerous clubs and committees that work like a springboard to future achievement. The initial and long term interests find a refuge in the clubs that cater to a variety of interests. It is in the clubs that the students learn the fundamentals of organization, team building, planning projects and executing them.  Arranging for materials, funds, equipment, manpower, venues and permissions may be among the activities that regularly take place on and off the 4.5-acre green campus in Bannerghata in Bangalore, the most happening global city of a thousand opportunities. The presence of numerous MNCs in the city has tremendously improved the chances of excellent internship and placement opportunities for the persevering students.

Some of the clubs work like extensions of the lessons taught in the classes and form another activity-based learning experience. A lot of academic research reveals that lessons are not so easily learned even though qualified teachers and developed educational infrastructure are in place. Interactive learning and learning by doing stand the best chances of genuine understanding of complex topics. Understanding of the industry and particularly the digital media and how it impacts our lives form some crucial lessons.

Yet, unlike classwork that is often theoretical, we would expect clubs to step out into the practical world and experiment with a range of activities. The activities do include seminars and workshops, even picnics and competitions. Some students feel dominated in front of the teachers and the clubs give them an opportunity to be themselves. Not only are lifelong friendship made and close understanding results, but clubs present another great dimension of the learning culture at GIBS. 

  

Marketing

Management students should consider finance, human resources and marketing as primary requisites for running an organization, no matter the dimension. The study of marketing techniques in contemporary times and its complications form an intensive part of the study. While plenty of marketing-based activities take place within the formal study of the marketing specialization in the mainstream institute, the club builds upon the learning. Students with a special interest in marketing put the club hours to great use to consolidate what they have learned in the curriculum.

Human Resources

In an age when machines and robots, technology, AI and VR seem to be taking over the world, human workers are still very important! Further, workers have to integrate technology and software into the working routine. Understanding the contributions of the human workforce is the key to industry. Running MNCs primarily deals with managing workers on large scales like in factories. Software is gradually taking up many of the duties that were once managed manually.

Finance

The role of finance in the management world may be complex but is crucial. Proper management of finance would optimize resources and prevent misuse. Technology has an important role to play just like knowledge of the economy, currencies and financial markets.

Communications

The network and communications that include the media today is dazzling. Research and understanding would improve the practice of communications inside GIBS and with external organizations.

Information Technology

Now that IT has become the air we breathe, developing awareness and skills would be crucial. Bangalore is internationally famous as an IT destination, a great advantage for the GIBS students and faculty.

Gardening

Greenery will save the future of planet earth and planting, weeding, and harvesting are all a part of the club activities.

Library

The right use of library resources is among the activities of the club so that the vast study resources are made good use of.

Sports and Fitness

We will reach nowhere in the professional world nowadays without supreme physical fitness to cope with all the stiff competition! Training for sports events in basketball and volleyball are among the many attractive activities out there.

Maintenance

Just like the city authorities, maintaining a vast institute campus free of litter is a huge task and the club is dedicated to its success.

Entrepreneurship

Generating ideas to succeed in the corporate world is a colossal task. Where will the ideas come from and how will they be implemented?

Sponsorship Cell

Corporate tasks entail huge responsibilities and tremendous labor. Getting to know the forces involved and pursuing them with missionary zeal will bring rich rewards.

Placement and Internship

If there is anything every student has in mind, it is internships and placements. The club chalks out ways and means to ensure the success of students in this direction with appropriate strategies.
