When over fifty of the old students of
GIBS assembled at HOTEL PAI VICEROY on 6TH JANUARY, 2019, it did
feel like a homecoming! SHINING STARS ALUMNUS BATCH 2015-17 could not have met
at a more opportune moment, immediately after the welcoming of the New Year and
Bangalore City yet in a festive mood. Reviving sentimental memories did happen
and a moist eye or two told sweet tales of success in professional worlds.
Having miles to go yet, the young men and women hover on the threshold of
dramatic careers that will take them very far in life.
A moment that means
so much
The thrill of class and institutional
reunions come but rarely in life. When they do, the ecstasies know no bounds
and a bridge with the past is immediately established across the tumult of
time. Though circumstances have changed
and companies and designations are different as compared to the shelter of the
college and the teachers, innocence lurks in the faces and the thoughts.
The stories they shared did seem like a
fictional tale. Having reached across the continents to faraway countries they had
hardly dreamed of, the voices and body language, mannerisms and gestures
communicated many truths. The lesson for the present day GIBS students remains
that nothing is impossible to achieve and today’s dream would be realized
tomorrow.
Internships and
placements crafted the success stories
The youngsters fondly remember the
initial experience of the professional world through the short internships as a
part of the course that proved a blessing. While some did have previous work
experience, many of them did not. Some business schools make many sweet
promises at the time of admissions and the students suffer. The Placement
Committee at GIBS did their duty well and linked up with a few leading
companies to assist students to find good positions. No wonder it is time to be
grateful. The dreams have not gone in vain.
Global Institute of Business Studies has
marched from strength to strength in its relatively short existence as compared
to many other institutions of repute. In the olden days, the age of an
institution mattered so much when it came to judging institutional standards.
We naturally feel great respect for institutions that have stood the test of
time with a century or more in existence. Imagine the many generations of the
family that passed through the gates. Not any more does age matter so much with
the speeding up through digital technology of study and work procedures. The
multimedia approach, the virtual world, AR and AI in addition to the classroom
lectures along with seminars and workshops have made a great difference.
A source of
inspiration
The current GIBS boys and girls who labor
night and day towards the illusion of business management careers derive
strength from the successfully placed alumni. In turn, the alumni should be
reciprocating the efforts of the institution to train them and put them in
orbit. It is mind-boggling to think at once of the demands of the courses and
the multiple duties towards the profession, family and society. Yet, they must
all happen in due course of time.
A hard hitting
faculty
Good academic and professional
performance is worshipped blindly in a commercial society and the GIBS
dedicated faculty does make it happen. Combining Indian researchers and
professors with industry knowledge and experience, the professors from abroad
bring a set of different perspectives. Together, it is a win-win situation for
eager minds trying to plumb the depths of the industrial, technological and
commercial worlds.
Admissions for 2019
Though life is quite repetitive, be it at
home, school and the world of nature, the enthusiasm and the excitement of a
new batch are truly stunning. Once again, it is time for new visions to be
born. Along with the PGDM, MBA and BBA aspirants will now come knocking on the
doors. While many may wish to study here, the successful batch will certainly
set their sights upon success from day one. GIBS wishes that the 2019 batches
succeed as well as their predecessors, perhaps improve upon their sterling
performance. Reaching forward, higher and faster has always been the motto.
Facilities and
Infrastructure
Amidst the world class facilities and
towering infrastructure at the 4.5 acre campus in Bannerghatta, students are
set to go places. The future is not the problem but the present and immersing
in academics and participating intensively in learning activities would bring
rich dividends. A few weeks and the new students would begin a dream adventure
that will culminate in successful placements. A good beginning ensures gorgeous
futures at the peaks of business.
