 Another Sensational Student of the Year Award Function 2017 lights up GIBS  - 

 

Date: 27 November 

Place: Bangalore

Memorable occasions like the Student of the Year awards at the Global Institute of Business Studies come but rarely. The anxious wait and patient expectation culminated in Valasala NVA Sai Shankar receiving the Student of the Year trophy along with a cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh. Muthu Venkatesh was awarded the Best Sportsperson title while Marzia Fatima received the recognition of Best Talent-Female. The Best Talent-Male Award went to Sameer Khan. Creative Club was adjudged the best among the many GIBS clubs and committees. The Organizing Committee was felicitated by GIBS with a Rolling Trophy, an acknowledgment they splendidly earned. 

Congratulations to all the winners. The event was excellently hosted by Sandeep Bhansali and Emcee Archi.

Get introduced to the galaxy of guests! 

Chief Guest Sarath Hegde is the HFI Director and a Corporate programs and NGO partnerships professional. A software architecture engineer from IIT, Delhi, he runs consultancy services catering to clients in America and Australia. He is into meditation too, as a Heartfulness Trainer. 

Guest of Honor Aruna Singh holds an immense corporate sales experience of 23 years. The Triple Crown is a mighty achievement in a lucky 2017 as Classic Mrs. India runner-up, Winner Classic Mrs. India Karnataka and Subtitle Winner of Mrs. Inspirational 2017. 

The Special Guests were Educationist and Social Reformer Bipin Ram Aggarwal, Swastik Seva Trust Founder and Chairman Satish Mittal and Kickboxing Champion Girish Gowda who merit all the praise with their spectacular achievements. May the GIBS students aspire to follow in their footsteps.

Two of Bipin Ram Aggarwal’s portfolios is State President of International Vaish Federation and President of Dakshin Bharathiya Agarwal Samaj. Satish Mittal is Vice President of International Vaish Federation and Partner at Southern Cargo Carriers, India. Girish Gowda is active in Karate, Kung Fu, and Tai Chi. Horlicks, Airtel and now Kaizen Fitness are Girish’s professional hallmarks.

Don’t forget the distinguished gathering of over 400 stars that represented the best of Corporates and Academicians, Alumni and Students. Such conglomerations do remind of the continuity of time eternally, when the young and old get together. A mutual give and take is what the educational and corporate society really means. 

The felicitation to Sarthak Bhaskar Mangaonkar was honestly justified. Sarthak is fresh from fabulous victories at the 4th International Skating Championships in Singapore in October 2017. Two gold, one silver, and one bronze medal came his way. We wish him success in Turkey in 2018. 

Besides inborn talents and skills, it is dedication and training that succeed in finding appreciation and a place in the sun. In the race to find professional success as corporate managers, the soft skills take long to develop in the face of hard struggle. Bangalore may be a mighty marketplace, but it is intense competition too. Since institute performance forms a foundation for the future, hopefully, the winners will take their places at the top of the management ladder in their future careers.

  How Business Schools Are Tweaking Their Analytics Curriculum to Meet Explosive Demand - 

Some decades ago, business management was becoming big business, but who could have predicted what really happened down the line today? Some recently established universities and institutions like Global Institute of Business Management in Bangalore are lucky that they did not experience the old order of things. Having been born in the midst of the data explosion that nowadays is characteristic of big business, they understand the new business analytics better. They could be compared to the new generation born these days that handles smartphones and tablets at a very young age compared to those who were born fifty years ago.

The booming Business Analytics curriculum

Dealing with statistics in the form of facts and figures has always been a part of study and business dealings, even before the coming of the internet and the digital age. The difference lay in the primitive methods, then employed, of manual typewriters and hard copies that could have been misplaced or destroyed. With software, copies are still subject to security risks but could be stored in the cloud or exchanged across the planet in a moment. As compared to the mighty hard copy files of the past that still exist in most offices, software like Excel and the website dashboard provide all the statistics at a glance with links that branch out to whatever data you need to consult or gather. 

Sheer volume and complexity

As the Information Technology progressed, faster software with incredible volumes was born. Can you imagine the sheer volume of data that a MNC might possess? What about the health or education ministries of the government, compiling all their facts and figures and storing them safely? Storage and communication is not all. Research is facilitated through all that information that can nowadays be sifted with a few clicks. Qualify staff would be required, of course, who can make sense and meaning of all the data crunching.

Business Schools are certainly making many a fast buck

The number and variety of business management schools in a country as diverse as India can well be imagined. Management is studied at different levels like Certificate, Diploma, Bachelors and Masters besides the online courses and distance education. Durations may extend from 6 months to 23 years or more if they are integrated courses, like BA/BBA that may be 5 years long. 

Business Analytics helps to process data

The gathering of appropriate data may be laborious enough! Companies would not survive without compiling customer data, likes and dislikes, in surveys across the country and perhaps globally too. That would all add up to vast quantities of information. The mighty stats would help for future designing and model making in order to cater to the ever changing tastes of consumers. Companies would thus remain ahead of the competition in a terrible rat race that knows the future better. 

Vast business data would help with:

· Market basket analysis that deals with customer purchase patterns. 

· Inventory management and forecasting trends would help to better understand customer demands of the future, based on the present business patterns. 

· Human Resources Managers maintain profiles of trusted employees that would be a boon in companies that employ thousands of workers. 

· Analytical customer relationship management helps in terms of maintaining relationships, acquiring and retaining their loyalty. 

· Fighting fraud is immensely facilitated by security systems that work with sensitive data and filters all the evil and dangerous practices in high risk areas. 

· Underwriting, in financial terms, assigns values to all assets for insurance processing for items like machinery. 

Business Schools need to cope up!

While many clever business schools would have already made their millions in the management boom across the last few decades in India and across the world, Business analytics teaching and practice provides immense new challenges. Firstly, the need of capable faculty with enough practical experience and research knowledge would be required. Business schools are usually rich at the expense of students and importing faculty would not be beyond them either if the need is felt. Foreign faculty is one more trick to attract high paying students, many of whom are lured by false promises of excellent internships and placements. Students need to prove that they are meritorious and dedicated in order to fulfill their mighty professional dreams. 

Business Analytics has a wide range of applications: 

Descriptive analytics gathers information from stored data. Prescriptive analytics can forecast likely future trends based on current data. Decision analytics uses the visual to support thinking and decision making. 

Numerous domains are supported by analytics:

Behavior, collections, financial and fraud, pricing and retail, risk and credit are some of the domains supported by analytics. The range is as infinite as the business world of the 21st century. Institutions and individuals need to labor on.

GIBS Gears Up For Yet Another Dream Convocation 2017 - 

 

Global Institute of Business Studies in Bannerghatta, Bangalore, does believe in an action-filled lifestyle on a campus that brings together diverse boys and girls from all over India and abroad. If management is not on the corporate professional agenda, which subject is hot on the planet? In the new-age careers that are beginning to attract students away from traditional jobs, it is management that promises the greatest ROI. Within a few years of sustained effort, the high achievers among management graduates and postgraduates reach senior positions and draw mighty salaries along with a plush lifestyle, posted in MNCs and liable for transfers all over the globe.

From humble beginnings in school, it is a gradual upward journey for those who complete Class 12 with the vision firmly fixed on dynamic college careers. That higher education course reaches a culmination on the Convocation Day that officially recognizes the achievements with so much of sweat and toil, labor, time, money and software across several semesters. Can words really represent all that happened in the hearts and souls, minds and bodies of those nightmarish and frantic days that seemed to never end? The examinations came and went, sometimes lucky and sometimes not. And then the laborious internships and the lucky placements, not for everybody of course. Probably the majority needs to find happiness with ordinary appointments. Can everybody reach the top? Certainly not.

A degree that means so much

The contemporary 21st-century has opened its wings and sails across the entire planet. No continent and country today is all that distant, connected as we are through the internet. Not only do we see and hear across mighty distances but knowledge transfers and data exchange have become so much simplified. The memory of the past difficult days for students in research haunts us yet. Should we not consider ourselves lucky to live in this time and place? 

18th November 2017 is the fateful convocation date!

The GIBS MBA boys and girls need not wait too long for 18th November now, anxious as they are to set sail in their professional careers. But, do you really need to hurry after all the waiting and the suspense, the endless weeks and months that have rolled past? Hold the patience a bit longer to complete a few formalities. 

Those who consider that degree a mere piece of paper have missed out on the essential spirit. The world works symbolically and all the art forms like music and film are examples of that. The degree represents all the nobler aspirations that attract humanity. The desire to excel in academics is most pronounced in those who never had the opportunity to study. Yet, it is a bitter law of life that some must win and some lose.

When the dressing is done in those uniforms that tell many happy tales, the function held and words and wisdom fall upon eager listeners, the wheel will come full circle. Perhaps the boys and girls will attend more universities and earn additional degrees, but nothing is greater than the now. We live in the present moment before anything else.

Chief Guest and Guest of Honor

Padmashree Professor RM Vasagam, Chancellor, Kapagam University would elevate the proceedings as the Chief Guest for the Convocation. Mr. Aamer Azeemi, Global Head, Smarten Spaces, would be the Guest of Honor. In the midst of all the action and drama, the dreams and aspirations, do not forget those GIBS titans who have steered your academic fortunes across the sometimes difficult semesters. Chairman BL Goyal, Managing Director Ritesh Goyal and Director Aparna Rao have honed the institution along ambitious paths to carve out student careers on the path to achievement. According to the noble principles, the students desire to redeem themselves and enlighten the society around them with the acquired knowledge after they succeed at management positions. 

A pulsating residential campus approaches the end of the session

Another dawn is soon approaching when 2018 overtakes us rather soon. These students are accustomed to events happening all the time. Academics come first, of course. Anniversaries and festivals, international events, clubs and committees, professional development programs, culture, art and the literary etc. 

Also in November is scheduled another rare event that involves the selection of the student of the year on 20th November. That would be a difficult process indeed when you need to find the best rose among so many pretty flowers. But so it is and everybody cannot carry away the awards. Some headaches may result, but the sporting spirit invariably prevails. 

Recent events provided lots of thought-provoking occasions. The Library Committee launch was another grim reminder that academics is a hard nut to crack. The ICC RETAIL SUMMIT at Le Meridian in the first week of November did bring some business experts to share their experiences. #GIBS #MBA #PGPM #BBA #BCOM #PGDM

Great Career Opportunities Arise After Completing GIBS MBA In Finance?

 

As a premier management institution that delivers high quality professionals well-suited to corporate challenges, Global Institute of Business Studies offers several courses. The two-year MBA combined with PGPM is most in demand, which is meant for graduates in any field and preferably in commerce and economics that provide an understanding of the business world. Job experience would help enormously to understand analytical, practical and logical approaches in daily working life. The other courses at GIBS are corporate BCom and Corporate BBA for students passing Class 12 along with a one-year PGDM meant for graduates. 

MBA offers several specializations like Marketing and HRM, Finance and Supply Chain, International Business, Operations and IT. It is obvious that the three essential aspects of any enterprise would be money, labor and materials. The managers of money, human resources and materials are in great demand internationally.

Besides, it is universally accepted that management for the last few decades offers the fastest career ladder. Within short years, the dedicated managers would find themselves rising fast and earning high incomes along with infinite prospects. Every field of human endeavor requires capable management and Healthcare and Hospitality are some particularly diverse fields. Specializations are the great secret and senior management positions require a mix of subject specializations along with a management degree.

Finance being one of the oldest management disciplines, once belonged to the subject of Economics. The 20th century for the first time in history ushered in the world of big business where financial resources required intensive management. The 21st century offers even greater roles for Finance MBAs with massive MNCs spreading their tentacles through many continents and countries. Electronics, health insurance and hospitality are only some of these diverse industries.

What skills are required to succeed in MBA Finance?

Exceptional skills concerning analysis, logical reasoning and efficient processing with regards to money and the economy would be required. In a world where everybody needs to specialize, choosing a niche would provide greater opportunities like foreign currencies.  It is most certainly a job that everybody cannot do, nor have the aptitude for. Be certain that you have the interest, skills and ability that would sustain through decades of the professional life.

Besides the personal qualities, much depends upon the reputed institution that serves as a career launch pad! While admissions are difficult in the first place, obtaining a seat is as good as succeeding, what with the internship and placements coming at the end of the semesters. Yet, much depends upon the course performance, willingness to learn, succeed and serve, and the favorable impressions created upon the recruiting authorities.

MBA Finance offers great career opportunities

Armed with a successful MBA after maybe 17 years of school plus college education, what designations could you look forward to?

It is the financial institutions like banks that require the MBA services, both in the government and private sectors. Accounting Managers and Financial Analysts are some of the roles. Insurance and Investment, Credit and Corporate fields are some other areas. Taxation and financial statements, financial consultancies and merchant and consumer banking would require MBA services.

The large companies require powerful financial management and investment of their profits. Legal problems concerned with money could arise and cases may need to be represented in the court. When mergers and acquisitions of companies take place, it is a sensitive moment when a lot of financial skills would be required.

Qualifying in management entrance examinations

Some entrance examinations are coming up in November and December 2017. MAT, CAT, XAT and ATMA are some of those management entrance examinations. Some universities conduct their own entrance examinations. Not everybody can afford to attend regular college to obtain an MBA due to some constraints like employment and the time factor. MBA during weekends is offered besides distance education programs available at Indira Gandhi National Open University.

Making a career beginning after MBA

Not every student is lucky to be gifted with a plush appointment through campus placement. A great majority of management graduates has to be satisfied with mediocre jobs. Do not lose hope, though. Besides reputed colleges, location is important and cities like Bangalore offer immense opportunities because of the presence of many international companies. The initial experience could commence the career as a management trainee, accounts or financial manager. Preparing reports and investments may be some important duties. Don’t forget that learning and research never ends even after the completion of MBA.

The roles of financial managers have increased in importance after the international financial crisis. Almost every country suffers a financial crisis nowadays and expert managers would help to control such problems. Thus, immense opportunities exist in the field for the right people.

Management students at GIBS need super entrance examination performances -  

Shall we say that a minimum of a month or 50 days would be required for a thorough preparation for an entrance examination? Many would not agree and say that several months of coaching would be required. Yet, it is generally known that a majority of students at all levels of study takes short cuts and study only at the eleventh hour. In other words, they do little during the semester and burn midnight oil when the examination date approaches. That may not be the right solution, but that is the system universally practiced.

While 2017 is gradually winding down and would end with the grand Christmas and New Year festivities, it is the time of the year for several entrance examinations that are instrumental in deciding student careers. Higher education, like graduation and post-graduation are compulsory if you wish to reach anywhere in life. Once you succeed in qualifying in entrance examinations and enroll in a renowned institution, we can assume that a lifetime career is made. The college course builds a foundation for professional work later in life. Entrance examinations are getting very competitive and are attempted by lakhs of students across the country.  

Thorough dedicated preparation, perhaps with some experienced teachers at an excellent tutorial would be effective in increasing chances of exam success. 

CAT takes place in November and MAT in December. If you wish to write CMAT and XAT, wait until January and ATMA takes place in February. Those who will write CAT and MAT should be more than half-way through the preparation since the dates are fast approaching. 

Take good care of health and nourishment

Always remember that health and regular hours of eating and sleeping should be observed. Nourishment and exercise in an active lifestyle are very important. Instead of being lost in books, many hours each day, find time for a brisk walk or run on a daily basis. Exposure to the media helps to remain updated and reading newspapers regularly will help with language and expression too. Identify a quiet room or corner arranged with your study materials where you work regularly every day according to certain timings. Early mornings are good for study, but late nights are not so effective with a tired body and mind. 

Mental preparation is so very important too, besides remaining physically fit. A consistent preparation over several weeks and perhaps months would put you in the right frame of mind for attempting several entrance examinations. 

Do’s and don’ts for exam preparation 

Reduce the study materials. It is a mistake to think that several books and dozens of question papers would bring greater knowledge. The problem is that all the excess material creates confusion. A few well-chosen books from renowned authors and publishers should be sufficient since the textbooks and guides contain similar points. The only strategy that really works is ample practice and more practice. 

Prepare a time table as a strategy for study with time allotted carefully to the different study areas. Knowing which are your strong subjects and weak areas would help to decide upon the distribution of time. Such a plan will not be needed for the November and December examinations with little time left. Yet, the time table will help even with less time when you can squeeze whatever little time is available. 

Many students base the exam preparation upon question papers and that is the right approach. Some examinations make changes each year, though the same basic pattern would be followed. While solving previous question papers, attention to the time factor is important. If it is a three-hour examination, try to complete the practice work during a similar time frame. 

Multiple choice and negative marking

Most questions nowadays offer multiple choices in an objective pattern. We got used to that in the television quiz programs. Looking at the choices often provides clues regarding the right answer. The process of elimination should be used to get rid of answers that are certainly not correct. In this way, the choices are narrowed down with better chances to get the right answer.

Since negative marking may be used, incorrect answers may not mean only a zero but a minus one mark. Be on guard in the hurry and avoid writing wrong answers as far as possible. Taking wild chances with answers may mean the loss of precious marks. 

Plan the time such that some time is left for revision at the end of the exam. Avoid spending the entire duration on answers since revision is important too. 

Avoid haste and hurry in the examination hall. Read the questions carefully first with enough time for understanding. While speed is important because of the time factor, accuracy should be aimed for.

It is an exercise in problem solving and you need to take smart approaches, avoiding lengthy procedures. Use instinct and intuition to solve questions that you did not find in the books and previous papers. Common sense would also apply to some questions rather than complex thoughts. 

Make short notes of all problem areas during preparation. During the last days before the examination, avoid being too busy but relax and solve the doubts recorded earlier. The last phase can look at question papers alone rather than the big books. Keep the mind comparatively free during the last day before the exam.

 A Renewal of Hope with the New Session Soon Descends Upon GIBS  - 

 Like the seasons that come and go each year, the end of 2017 culminates another dramatic year in Global Institute of Business Studies, Bangalore. The recent weeks after the celebrations of the Dassera and Diwali spectacular festivals witnessed singer Ankit Tiwari. What else happened in the never-ending action and drama at the GIBS campus? Besides the Quality Improvement Program and the Blood Donation Camp, several clubs organized presentations and inaugurations with numerous students actively involved. An anxiously awaited event is the selection of the Student of the Year in late November.

How to prepare for entrance examinations? Pay attention to health and nutrition, sleep regular hours and avoid stress. Maintain a portfolio of good preparation materials and consult with the group.

CAT 2017

Though not much time is left before the CAT 2017 this month, the preparation phase that must have taken months now culminates as the date approaches. Make sure that the preparation is on the right track according to the revamped exam structure.  The reading of newspapers and magazines with an emphasis on editorials should continue until the examination date. Aim for excellent performance in the Reading Comprehension and Verbal Ability. 

It is time to revise from the beginning and even the basic concepts that will be only at a glance. Mathematics and Statistics practice questions are important and should be solved. Weaknesses in particular areas must be given attention and sectional tests may be practiced accordingly, but observe time limits too. Experts and rank holders suggest that you should find different ways of getting at the answers. Develop your own methods to solve questions.

Speed and accuracy would improve with the practice of mock tests and plenty are available online. Consider all the three sections of CAT 2017 to be equally important. Data Interpretation or Logical Reasoning in DILR section and Quant are all important. Aim for an all-round improvement rather than focus on a single area.

MAT 2017

Even though time is running out, thoroughly rehearse each section of the exam. Practice Time management with the mock tests. Give equal attention to all the different sections since the marks allotted are equal. The distribution of 40 marks makes a total of 200 marks. 

Instead of spending all the available time on tuitions and group study, set aside ample self-study time that should be treated as very important, particularly just before the examination. Avoid fear or worry as the date gets closer. Don’t be nervous if preparation has been done well. Increase speed and improve skills through mock tests so that all the questions can be attempted within the given time. Practice revision also that many students neglect because of the time factor. Concentrate on revision in the last few days of preparation.

XAT 2018

Make sure that mock practice is done with the previous year’s question paper. Study the expected changes in the exam pattern and remember that XAT changes every time. Even if the same pattern is followed, the number of questions changed in 2017. The XAT preparation is complicated and you need to choose some good books. 

Mock tests and coaching centers do help to get rid of the weak areas. Online coaching in recent years has become very popular due to lower costs with more time available for your own practice tests. 

The XAT 2018 exam will contain three major sections that contribute to percentile scores. Attempt the sections within the time limit. Aim for a high score in each section because of the sectional score cut off. Study smartly, maximize correct answers and minimize the wrong answers. It is not compulsory to attempt every question.

CMAT 2018

General Knowledge of current affairs during the last year, Logical Reasoning and Verbal Ability are all important and you need reference books. Quantitative Aptitude, Language Comprehension and General Awareness require a planned study approach with ample test questions for practice. 

Be prepared to labor hard and that is the ultimate secret of success. Each day ends with some unfinished work. Mark the page with colored notes so that you can continue preparation from that point the following day. Avoid stress and concentrate on self-study. Refer what you do not understand to some teachers, elders or authorities. 

ATMA 2018

Consider it essential to practice the question papers of the previous year’s ATMA and get mentally prepared about what to expect. For the Verbal category, you need to read many newspapers, magazines and passages. Logical Ability will require an analysis of problems and an understanding of the underlying logic. By solving mock questions and puzzles, you can improve in Analytical Reasoning & Decision Making. Data Interpretation requires quick and accurate calculations. Read the newspapers, witness the media and watch educational television channels for General Knowledge. Corporate and business news is important. Group Discussion will require the strong ability to verbally put forward your points to the group.

 Conquer the Placement and Interview Headaches Successfully With Dedicated Strategies -

 

When thousands of eager students join college courses each year after successful schooling, they begin to dream. Particularly it is the professional courses that attract the best students who have an exceptional chance of success. It is the lucky students who succeed at campus placements but it is a complex journey. Besides the innate dynamic potential that is crucial, the outstanding faculty and the corporate connections of the institution have important roles to play. It is a dream career that waits for the meritorious students who would start smooth sailing early in life with a plush job. Yet, certain techniques and strategies, approaches and commitments would improve the chances of success.

Start preparations early

Not only does it apply to examinations but to interviews also. A majority of students prepare intensely only at the last moment, perhaps a few days in advance and chances of success are greatly reduced. Start a survey of the professional set up and the number of vacancies, company history in the locality and the possibilities of future prospects. Besides the wealth of information nowadays available over the internet, seniors, teachers and industry leaders would provide valid material that is specifically related to the sector you wish to enter. Carefully consider the areas of specialization that you have opted for and aim accordingly since that is your expertise that would fetch rich rewards. Besides, in Rome, learn to do like the Romans.

Which companies are likely to visit your campus in search of good managers? Research those company histories and culture, organization structure, and pay packages and philosophy. 

Common questions asked at interviews

Now get more and more specific by targeting what questions are usually asked in such interviews. Much of it would be subject related of course and you need to keep up to date with recent media news besides the highlights of the particular subject. Googling would certainly provide access not only to question papers but the trends in interviews would also be understood.

Favorites are often asked in interviews, whether it is a subject or lesson, country, celebrity or organization. Prepare accordingly but be prepared to answer some searching questions on the theme. Let it be something genuinely liked and not something prepared which would appear quite artificial. If it is Rural Management, what are the crucial issues and why do you like it.

Practice the written and spoken English skills

A crucial reason that some succeed and some don’t at interviews is the critical question of communication in English. If that is your weakness, go out of the way to get involved in language learning activities. Reading is essential to get at all the general information but don’t forget to practice speaking aloud. Grab opportunities to express through speech. You have to speak aloud without fear of mistakes. Many foreign students who are weak at English suffer from similar problems. Unless you dive into the water, it is not possible to swim. 

Participating in the wide networks of social media does help to open up. Participate in group discussions and gossip a little more. Use all the languages you know to communicate. Express through images, art, quotations, whatever. 

Written tests and essay type or aptitude tests, multiple choice etc

Preparing a CV, written tests of several kinds and screening are common procedures adopted at campus placements. Those should not be a problem since you are well-versed at it after maybe 15 or 18 years of school plus college years. Some practice may help with previous question papers according to the nature of the tests expected. Be careful when it comes to writing and always express positive approaches to life, highlighting what is good rather than looking at the dark side of life. 

Avoid overdoing things

During interviews, do not behave as if you know everything, avoid hurry in speaking and shun serious facial expressions. Adopt a cheerful and friendly attitude with a smile. Avoid falsifying any information and be sure to be punctual according to the time set for the interview. Follow the accepted dress code and try to be conventional. Don’t forget to attract attention to some unique project or activity that you have undertaken if given an opportunity. Prepare for such a chance. You should try to convince that you are willing to run the extra mile for the company if selected.

 GIBS elevates the last minute's suggestion to crack the entrance exams of business studies -

 

GIBS Bangalore is taking an initiative to supply the required resources for top entrance exams of business studies. This year's exam is on the head of the participants. Therefore, the senior personalities have decided to assemble last minute suggestions for the newcomers. Now, students can brush-up their studies with the help of the best trainers. Global Institute of Bangalore has created an international training procedure to boost up the students for CAT, MAT, CMAT and other entrance exams. These hurdles are so important to build a prosperous career of a student. If anybody lives back in preparation, then that would count a huge loss. GIBS, suggests that every student should fight from the preparation period of entrance exam to the last day of the final semester. This struggle would give the students a lifetime base and they wouldn't think twice about their skills in future.

CAT in November:

The CAT entrance exam at GIBS is going to be held on November 2017. Students have a certain time to review their syllabus. Actually, CAT is a highly essential program for creating a considerable rank at various stages of academic life. During the preparation of CAT, students must avoid zigzag patterns. The smart preparation strategy is the basic that is depended on the tough reading schedule. 

Focus on the basic conception of CAT thoroughly. Follow the questions of last few years and syllabus to get the idea of the exam. Complete the basic level's study and don't leave until you manage certain confidence.

If you see that you are getting trouble in solving statistics and mathematics, then revive your math notes. This section is the most important section among three of CAT exam. 

Practice mock test online is another tip of last-minute suggestion. A student should have enough confidence to carry the pressure of the mock test. This is must for developing the accuracy level, speed, and weaknesses. Viva creates the most hectic effect on the entrance exam. Practicing mock test as many as possible would solve this flaw. 

The pass outs of GIBS have suggested finding more than one way of solving mathematics. CAT questions bring unpredictability sometimes. The methodical solution wouldn't show the right result of the problem. Therefore, practicing more than one way of solution would help you to improvise on the desk.

Divide the hours of last few days and thoroughly revise every section of the three. Giving equal importance to each section is mandatory for CAT exam because every section needs good marks.

MAT in December:

GIBS institute is suggesting students for the MAT entrance exam which will hold on December 2017. The Management Aptitude Test of this session is demanding newer strategy of preparation. As MAT is the most popular tests that are organized by the worldwide community of management, therefore students should mount a mind set-up for a stronger fight. There would be 200 questions that have to be answered within 2 and ½ hours.

Five sections:

1. Environment Indian and International

In this section, students have to build a strong conception of current affairs, politics, banking, sports, and business. The questions would be crafted from such topics. Students should have a hold on the flow of modern society of India and International.

2. Mathematical ability

This section is decorated with average, profit & loss, percentage, number system, ratio, time & work, geometry & trigonometry and speed & distances. As much as you can solve the problems quickly you would be able to rectify your grade on this topic.

3. Critical reasoning and Intelligence 

The paper is related to relationships, verbal reasoning, coding & decoding, directions sense and identifying patterns in number sets. How much you can develop your skill on criticism, you would be able to score confidence in this paper.

4. Language Comprehension

This section decreases the marks of the students most. Without an extreme hold on language, students would be unable to handle the section. Here most of the questions come from word analogies, vocabulary, antonyms & synonyms, sentence completion, rearranging sentences and reading comprehensions. Thoroughly check-up of the language becomes mandatory to get good feedback from this department.

5. Sufficiency & Data analysis

Data sufficiency, data comparisons, bar graphs, pie charts and data tables are the related topics of questions. 

Here you have a complete knowledge about the topics of sections of MAT entrance exam. Now, you have a month hardly to assure certain ability on the chapters. Therefore, students must follow the last minute's tactics to accomplish their preparation. 

· Give as much mock test as possible. It would rectify your confidence on handling each and every topic within time. 

· Practice concept consolidation as much as you can. The students have to publish a strong analysis on any given subject quickly. Thus, you can manage the topics. 

· Don't be tensed about the exam, try to enjoy that.

The formal exams of CMAT & XAT and ATMA are going to be held on January and February of 2018. Students can follow the pages of GIBS to get more details about such exam.

GIBS Dream Ending 2017 with the Convocation and Student of the Year Grand Functions!  

Gearing up for another academic year would probably witness similar concluding events in the year 2018. So it has been for ages in society as in nature with repetitions like the seasons that come and go. Yet, the present moment is always of superior importance and the GIBS students and staff can very well celebrate the hard labor across the weeks and months that seemed to never end.  Both the occasions, the Convocation and Student of the Year, did motivate with the presence of august personalities from a broad spectrum of academics, industry and corporates. Inspiration is so much in short supply these days with the media constantly repeating stories of wrongdoing. It becomes so difficult to uphold values and traditions and convince the world that life is worth living in such conditions. Perhaps it would be worthy to emulate the lotus that is intimately tied up with Indian spiritual traditions. The lotus may grow in muddy water but keeps itself proudly aloft above the water surface in resplendent beauty.

Enormous organizational challenges  

Those who see only the external manifestations are probably making a mistake. The difference lies between being the passenger and the driver of a bus. Putting together events of such magnitude presents a serious challenge not only in terms of monetary resources, creativity and materials like furniture but also the logistics and the conception. Can it all be left in the hands of professional event managers? Partly, yes, but the students need to learn and experience is always the best teacher.  Starting with the cleaning and the furniture arrangements, the stage arrangements, the program being drawn up and the formalities observed, it was a long, long journey of practice and more practice. As management students, it was all excellent rehearsing for future roles. Feeling involved and dedicated, participating with feelings and emotions, since the date soon approaches to say goodbye to pursue individual careers. Keeping in touch has never been easier than nowadays with all the technology and the social media, but the face to face companionship in the GIBS campus must now come to an end.  

The Convocation Fulfillment  

The graduation moment and ecstasy comes but rarely to most people. Life does sometimes appear like a race for degrees in the belief that the higher qualifications would ensure better professional positions, success in society and dazzling reputations. Yet, too many degrees may only encourage theoretical thinking and a divorce from the realities of life. Practical approaches apply more passionately to professional courses like the management studies at GIBS. Many dreams came true on that Convocation date when the deserving girls and boys were officially blessed with the degrees that would usher them through many professional peaks. The world beckons with open arms and the luckiest ones would reach very far in the management race.  You get to wear that ceremonial convocation dress perhaps only once but it is a charmed occasion! Those few minutes represent the culmination of intense dreams built up over the years. Yet, the students have reached nowhere professionally so far, though they contain enormous potential, like the little seed that will grow into a towering colossus in good time. Some of them do possess excellent work experience before they entered the management college but a fresh start begins with the added feathers after the management degree. 

 And then came the Student of the Year grand occasion

 An ocean of talent does exist within the GIBS campus! Among the best minds, probably most of the dedicated brains are concerned with management careers. Management of money, HR, materials, manufacture and services lies certainly above every other career. Management is truly universal like the sun and shines upon every sector and profession, from the teeming cities full of corporate mega-giants and the remotest areas in forests and deserts. Management is truly the yardstick by means of which an organization may be judged.  The trophies and the medals, the mementos and the flowers did speak many intimate languages of grand achievements and promises of splendid futures. Savor the moment since the togetherness of the last two years is now ending. Reunions may come later in life but those will be in changed circumstances, perhaps as managers or sales executives. The innocence of the present moment may soon be lost amidst the complexities of jobs and life, duties and responsibility.  The speeches and the dances continue to reverberate in the mind. Recordings do remain in the form of images and videos to be uploaded to GIBS websites to become a part of the institutional history. Students particularly would remember the events through many decades. They would frame the pictures and display them online and even in their home drawing rooms and office chambers. The atmosphere and the recognitions would remain in the memory to tell stories of achievement across a lifetime.      

[gibsbschool (GIBS Business School)]

  At GIBS, in the end, is a new beginning 

Stupendous events in the Global Institute of Business Studies(GIBS) in Bangalore bring the curtains down upon another event-filled year 2017. At the same time, the successful culmination of 2017 reminds that yet another batch is soon to take root that would keep the institution busy from 2018 through 2020.  Firstly, the dramatic and studious Convocation and then the anxiously awaited Student of the Year functions did fulfill many long-standing dreams. Both occasions did seem like dream sequences with recognitions of untiring scholastic efforts over the last two years for the MBAs, absolutely deserving girls and boys who have proved themselves incredibly well. Prayers remain for their wholehearted success in professional roles too. May they come back to the GIBS campus with senior designations and the hallmark of social and patriotic success.  The glittering, glam Student of the Year did feel like one great party. If some were disappointed at not being awarded, perhaps they need to wait a while longer and accolades will certainly come as a deserved reward for earnest toil. Skills and abilities will not go unrewarded. 

 An action-filled student life is successful 

It has long been proved through research that learning by doing and interactive learning are the most effective methods of study. As witnessed in social media, it is pictures and videos rather than text alone that are drawing all the attention. Images stick to the memory, unlike text that is quickly forgotten. Then, how do you expect scholars to learn hundreds and thousands of pages of lessons spread across endless volumes? Rather than being lost in words and spending sleepless nights, especially before examinations, dynamic new approaches to seminars and workshops, activities and media-based learning should be followed.  A campus endowed with world class educational infrastructure in a clean and green environment stands GIBS in good stead. Sports, cultural and literary activities provide ample respite from academic rigors. It is a great opportunity for new interests to grow and be pursued with zeal and a purpose. A long list of clubs and committees provide learning experiences in organization and management, preparing programs and executing them. Working within and outside the campus, handling responsibility, people and materials besides money can be challenging and present some difficult situations.  The faculty and the management at GIBS cannot help but admire the student prowess and the skills besides the energy and the acumen of the batch passing out. Like seeds that promise to develop into mighty trees, the students are waiting to blossom. Much of what happens in life is the product of opportunities and experiences. While internships and placements have already provided enough adventures to make a powerful beginning, the highway called life runs for very long across many decades of professionalism. While the immense journey commences now, GIBS looks forward to remaining in contact with the alumni and meeting up again, perhaps years later, when several ladders have been climbed.  

A Vigorous Sports Day 

It was an occasion to get rid of many pent-up mental frustrations after the intellect had been stretched to the limit during all those scholarly researches. While games had been regularly played through the session, the spirit of participation was commendable. Competitions as diverse as cricket and football, chess and badminton, kabaddi and swimming along with some others captivated the students and contributed to physical fitness.  The pleasant sight once again reminded what an important role physical fitness plays in student and professional life. The intense competitions of corporate life that business management is all about can hardly succeed without powerful physical skills in addition to all the mind and leadership ability. Students certainly feel very good about themselves and so much more confident after that euphoric sports dedication. Chief Guest Yeshwanth Prakash did set a good example with his achievements in the field of bodybuilding and his passion as a certified fitness trainer.  

Six Sigma Training Program 

How the complicated tasks in the industry are managed by professionals to deliver high-quality goods and services is quite a mystery! The Six Sigma approach answers some of those questions in terms of quality management. Statistical research uses certain methods and techniques to improve efficiency and networking, analysis and affordability. The students spent 40 hours covering those intricate lessons and certainly reached very far as professionals.  The Six Sigma is a global phenomenon. In fact, business school syllabi are similar in leading institutions throughout the world. While some aspects may differ in institutions across the world, essentially the lessons are the same. Cultural and linguistic conditions may differ like the fees and physical infrastructure, but it does bring satisfaction and unity to know that the lessons are quite similar. 

Congratulations to Alumnus Mohd. Afzal! 

Ending on a cheerful note with well-wishing for a student of the 2015-17 batch. In Pune, he started a new venture Indian Cake Studio and Café and wishes to build branches across the country and Dubai too. May that dream succeed.

Only a Few Institutions Teach Business Management like GIBS Does…

Now that the media and the world have opened up to external influences, the isolation of the past belongs to history. Educational institutions in India during the last few decades have welcomed the new global culture with open arms. It seems as if the whole world now lies in the embrace of universities and institutions in India, whether teaching medicine, hospitality, healthcare, engineering, mass communications or law, to name a few of the many sectors of the new age employment market. Not only has education diversified and opened up to global influences but employers are also looking out internationally for the best workers via the internet.  What would you say about the mass migration of students across international borders each year to avail degrees, mostly to America and China and some other countries too, like India? The craze for exposure to the world stage motivates young boys and girls no end. No doubt, the purpose is to obtain the best education and thereby the superior professional opportunities. International rankings of universities do not give much weight to Indian universities and the fees in India are also on the lower end of the spectrum. Well-heeled families can afford to send students to the high-ranking universities abroad and spend a fortune, partly to satisfy vanity and also obtain higher professional goals.  

The GIBS status Global Institute of Business Studies, is ideally located in an international city that shot to fame as an IT destination. Bangalore is nowadays crowded with a galaxy of multinationals not only in the IT sector but several others. Together, they offer immense opportunities for students to avail internship and placement opportunities among the best in the country.  If you are in search of quality business management education, perhaps GIBS would be among the best choices that India has to offer. The two-year MBA or PGDM would be worthwhile investments in the future business career. Admission criteria are complicated since you need to be a graduate besides work experience and management entrance examination scores as applicable. Even after Class 12, admission may be availed in BBA and BCom. There is no doubt that business management offers some of the most exciting and fastest career paths. Business is truly universal since every field of human endeavor is covered in the business world, be it media, oceanography or space ventures. Every field requires quality managers and it would be even better of the manager possesses a specialized degree in addition to the business degree like in engineering or hospitality.  

Affordable quality education Just like dreaming of stardom in Mumbai, everybody wants to study in advanced countries like America! Consider all the complexities of travel and study abroad besides the sky-high fees and the language and racial problems that sometimes arise. Is it not lucky that such a golden opportunity to study for a first-rate degree exists within the country at GIBS? The fees you pay are a fraction of what western universities would charge. The GIBS campus educational infrastructure adheres to world standards. Hostel accommodation and catering are among the best, once again at reasonable charges. Realistically speaking, GIBS is probably the legitimate answer to the dreams of a successful business career in any part of the world.  Hats off to the power of technology! Exchanges of faculty and students, knowledge and applications, research and infrastructure have resulted in a global amalgamation in recent times. Like the hospitals and medical tourism in India that attracts patients from many neighboring countries to avail of treatment at budget costs, GIBS brings the best of a topnotch curriculum and syllabi in business. Only professional success some years later will confirm that the training was good enough. Education takes place in the present but is aimed at the future. It is a certainty that you will exit GIBS some semesters later to join a network of highly successful GIBS alumni the world over. The institutional gates and online communication would remain open all lifelong.  

The GIBS expansion plans  After making a very successful beginning in Bangalore, GIBS wishes to set up branches in India and is presently aiming for international status. A large number of foreign students already study in GIBS besides the foreign faculty and tie-ups with institutions abroad. Though many management institutes exist within a single state in India like Karnataka, they do not function at the same level. Some common problems are excessive rote learning and theoretical knowledge alone without practical applications. The curriculum and syllabi may not be really up to date though much is promised online and in the prospectus. Relevance and contacts with industry may be lacking with improper internship and placement facilities.  GIBS has a powerful system of personality building and dynamic training for placements tests and interviews. They truly succeed in molding superlative business managers who will hold the institute banner high across the world in multicultural environments.

  Key points you need to remember at the time of writing the CMAT exams 

 Now that 2018 is around the corner, CMAT is not so far away. The nightmares of preparation are now over and the weeks and months of tensions and laborious preparation are now ending. What remains is to rest and relax in the days leading up to the exam in January.  Being very much present and facing the questions in the battlefield positively, being courageous and not losing your nerve are what you should aim to do. Finally, what you do in the examination hall is what will matter. Pay attention to the time factor and make sure that there is ample time to complete all the questions.  

What is CMAT? Common Management Aptitude Test is meant for graduates and is conducted by AICTE for the purpose of gaining admission to management institutes. Conducted by AICTE under the aegis of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, CMAT scores are accepted by AICTE-recognized management institutes and universities. It is a computer-based online test. The syllabus consists of data interpretation, quantitative techniques, language, logical reasoning, and general awareness. Make sure that you remain in touch with the media and read newspapers, remaining intellectually alert and confident about what is happening around the world.  Continue to observe regular sleeping and resting hours, avoiding excessive study late in the night when the brain is tired. Walking and other forms of light exercise would ensure that you remain physically fit to face the examination pressure on the fateful day. Avoid study until the last moment, burdening the mind with lots of study materials. Try to relax at the time of the examination and keep optimistic thoughts.  Yet, there are still about three weeks left even after the New Year celebrations are done. That will be enough time to get through a complete revision of all the study materials, question papers, and other study materials that you have gathered. If you have painstakingly maintained a portfolio of study materials, a thorough revision would be quite possible. Even at the last moment, do not spend long hours to study but take breaks now and then for fresh air and stretch your limbs.  Some people would advise differently! Keeping away from books and study materials at this late juncture would not be a good idea. Keep in touch with the study materials on a daily basis but don't engage in activities that might distract your mind. Keep away from parties and picnics and intoxicants that might interfere with thought processes and result in physical problems too.  

Get prepared for working on the computer screen Most young people nowadays are quite familiar with computer work but some are not. Since you would be working online, get used to it. Spend a few sessions surfing the internet and writing practice answers on computer screens perhaps at the internet café if you don't have one of your own.  

Clarify the test center and documents Formalities take up a lot of time, effort and expense and are sometimes necessary too. Be certain of the test center well in advance and try to visit the area beforehand. Are you sure what documents would be required, whether in original, photocopied and attested. Arrange them all in proper order well in advance. Make sure that you are observing all the do's and don'ts like avoiding things that are not allowed to be taken inside the examination hall. Be well prepared to undergo a series of checks at the examination hall and reach the venue well in advance, unburdened by study materials.  

Make sure to avoid stupid mistakes There is no need to be tense as the date is getting closer. Get mentally prepared and say your prayers, seek the blessings of parents and elders before the date arrives. In spite of diligent preparation, it is seen that many students make silly mistakes as a result of acting irresponsibly and not applying the knowledge they possess. Perhaps it is the small things that have not been paid attention to. Make sure that you apply plain common sense to the situations in the examination.  Regarding rehearsals like reading the exam instructions, you need not really wait for the examination date. Such materials would be available online and you probably possess them already. 

 On the examination date · Read the question paper instructions thoroughly and make sure they are well understood. One question appearing on the screen at a time is an advantage since the attention will not be distracted by many questions together.  · After rehearsing several times, perhaps the time planning is not a problem anymore. When the ‘Start Test' button is clicked, the timer commences. The test must be completed before the allotted time because the timer will stop automatically at the stipulated time.  · Use the review feature and choose the ‘flag' button in order to write or review a question at a later time. With the ‘deselect' button, you can edit answers already written.  · Since you are under the CCTV spotlight, avoid any form of cheating and do not carry prohibited items inside the exam hall. No calculators or mobile phones, earphones and log tables, they are all banned. Don't carry rough sheets and use the blank paper provided.

How do you prepare for XAT? The Experts Speak  

Now that a glorious New Year 2018 has dawned with positive vibes worldwide, let us hope for an excellent XAT 2018 performance. The qualifying scores would launch an academic career in MBA or PGDM in dozens of authentic institutions that would probably reward good performance with excellent internship training and placement facilities. While little time remains in terms of exam preparation, let us wrap up the essential features of a changed XAT 2018 with online testing for the first time ever. Enter the examination hall with positive thoughts, free from mental clutter, relaxed and well-nourished to fight the final battle! Xavier Aptitude Test is a qualifying exam for management aspirant graduates. It is the second biggest such test that qualifies candidates for 11 member institutes and 125 associated institutes to join the 2018-2020 batch. Aim now to join the academic year 2018-19. 

Presence of mind Since XAT is an unconventional examination, in spite of all the laborious preparation, you need to be in an alert and positive frame of mind in the examination hall for the entire duration of the test. A lot of decision making is involved while writing the answers on the computer screen of course.  After 60 years of pen and paper testing, XAT finally decided to go online that calls for a different approach. Computerized testing should be an advantage but you need to get used to computer screens. Most youngsters possess digital computer skills nowadays. Each question requires some precise thinking to quickly arrive at the most relevant answer. Time is certainly important and working on rehearsed examinations with practice question papers must have made you familiar with the speed needed to complete all the questions. Yet, speed alone will not do since accuracy will count towards the higher scores. Beware of negative marking for wrong answers and unattempted questions.  

Get familiar with the syllabus and exam pattern once again In Part 1, you have 170 minutes to solve 24 questions in Verbal and Logical Ability, 21 questions in Decision Making and 27 questions in Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation. These scores contribute towards the XAT percentile. In Part 2, the time given is 35 minutes. You need to answer 25 General Knowledge questions and write an essay on an abstract, current affairs or social topic.  Ample study materials would be available in the form of books and practice question papers, notes and training in tutorial institutes. Downloaded materials are plenty but make sure that you work at the right level with authentic study materials.  A strategy for preparation, followed by revision You need a clear vision and focused approach with regular study hours. Keep all the study materials in files as a portfolio, avoiding mess and clutter in the study desk or corner. If you have your own room with a computer and an internet connection, that would be a great advantage. Study sessions should not be longer than an hour since you need breaks to refresh the mind. Avoid listening to music or watching video while studying since it distracts the mind. Early mornings are better for study rather than late nights with a tired brain. Have two trays so that you can conveniently place the finished lessons in one tray just like they have in offices. In fact, official procedures need to be followed for any kind of sustained work and the XAT means a lot for the future. If you are attempting more than one entrance examination, the different syllabi and question patterns would be even more difficult to understand and remember. Yet, worry will not help and you need to get organized.  You should be taking up the examination topics, starting with those you find most difficult with ample practice with a timer. That is the only way, improving with practice with questions and referring doubts to a teacher or senior. More important than learning theories would be practical answers to questions that will be delivered in the examination hall. Get practical with applications rather than theories. 

The media game Play the media game whether for study or jobs! Life nowadays cannot be imagined without media influence. Follow the media until the examination date and try to understand the trends and currents of thoughts and ideas not only regionally but globally too. The highly developed technology-based media that we possess is one of the greatest blessings of the generation. 

 Get familiar with the XAT pattern changes in 2018 Become acquainted with the computerized pattern and understand how to proceed with work on the screen. The 4 sections containing MCQs and the descriptive essay writing would all be computerized. The total number of questions is 72 and the time extends to 3 and ½ hours (210 minutes). The percentile calculation will not consider the scores in General Awareness and Essay Writing.  Sectional time restrictions do not exist and sections may be attempted according to preferences. One mark is awarded for each correct answer. Negative marking extends to ¼ mark for each wrong answer. You can leave 12 questions unattempted without penalty. Further, 0.05 marks will be deducted as penalty for unattempted questions.

  ​GIBS's PGDM: Builds Dynamic Strategic HR Partners for Future Corporates Global Institute for Business Studies in the Karnataka State Capital of Bangalore deals in dreams just like any other educational institution. Yet, it is different because the student dreams here come true with excellent internships and placements with some of the finest companies that have set up bases in India and in the city after the IT revolution. With the present year tapering down to end with festivities to welcome 2018, it is time to build another set of dreams with the new batches that will enroll for MBA and PGDM. Both are two-year postgraduate courses and you need to pass the three-year graduation degree in order to apply besides the management entrance examinations.  Approved by AICTE, Ministry of HRD and the Indian Government, PGDM offers dual specializations to increase the versatility of the professional business managers who can reach out to several sectors when they take up corporate appointments. Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources are three crucial aspects of any enterprise. Further choices are healthcare, IT, supply chain, international business, travel and tourism, banking finance and insurance, startups and SMEs. 

 The Human Resources challenge With the dawn of the 21st century, amidst the mega industries and technological wonders that have eased many jobs, the Human Resources aspect has received greater attention than ever before. While workers were taken for granted as manual labor perhaps through much of history, it is now realized that they form the backbone of a company. Human Resources are crucial to company success. The changing scenario of HR is challenging indeed, especially for big businesses that have awesome company structures. While HR did not receive much attention earlier, it is now elevated to the highest ranks of company management.  The David Ulrich dream is coming true when he envisaged HR business partners as serving the high-level functions that set the company on the path to success. Theories may not be difficult to understand but imagine the extent of roles and functions that HR specialists serve. After all, it is humans who are still instrumental in all the achievements of a country's population though machines, computers, software, and robots seem to be slowly taking over work that people traditionally did.  

HR management and development The two terms may seem complementary but development indicates that the company should go a step further and ensure that workers are keeping up with the times. Besides appropriate payments, health facilities, safety, and welfare of staff, their further training and skill development should also be catered to. Much research has been done in this field and the conclusion is a strong thrust in favor of worker welfare as the building blocks of successful businesses that in turn mean national development.  The young Indian population at this point in history has a great future. The successes of certain countries like Japan and Germany after being ravaged during wars can be attributed to superior workforces. Tiny countries like Singapore and South Korea have succeeded so well with dedicated workers. India has a mighty successful future if superb Human Resources development can succeed in turning the company fortunes around. If each company improves productivity, it would be one vast elevation because there exist thousands of such companies. Basically, it is the will and dedication, the discipline, ethics and moral responsibility, whatever be the worker level. If workers are cared for by the company, they will work better. Several aspects contribute to worker wellbeing, including complex factors like the political climate and policy concerns.  

The GIBS promise Personality building, communication skills, soft skills, business leadership roles, besides all the technical knowledge, is some of the programs that GIBS will effectively impart. Decision making intense business situations requires courage and delicate understanding. A realistic understanding of the industry that they will enter after course completion would be achieved through faculty and guest lectures. Internships also take trainees on a ride through present day work situations.  While local environments matter so much, a global vision is needed to work successfully in multicultural surroundings. Imagine having to work with African or American labor! The impact of the internet has made it possible to apply worldwide for jobs and be interviewed and selected rather conveniently online. Coping up with international competition is not easily achieved but the GIBS training would help you succeed amidst global pressures. Building a global mindset is the first item on the agenda that does not happen overnight but in the course of the four semesters through a lot of rigmarole. Complex ideas and lessons take time to sink into the mind through practical lessons and DIY techniques. Participative learning and a range of clubs and committees besides all the seminars and workshops and classroom experiences ensure that you are on the right track to success.

  GIBS to host the largest Business Meet of the New Year 2018 @ the global campus 

Business summits do appear like grand parties and cuisine and beverages, furniture, lighting and conference facilities are necessary to promote corporate appetites. Global Institute of Business Studies deserves praise for being a superb training ground that propels business managers and motivates corporate performance. Established in 2001, GIBS in Bangalore has reached international limelight with dynamic training records along with excellent internship and placement records in leading companies. GIBS is working out plans to establish branches in India and abroad after their phenomenal success and recognitions and awards.  Meanwhile, batches of MBA and PGDM besides BBA and BCom come and go. The New Year would mean another round of admissions and initiations, settling down to academic life and the flowering of youthful dreams. Each batch should reach higher in the quest and set their sights even bigger to achieve the impossible. 

 A Business Meeting of International Dimensions As a result of the GIBS alumni spreading out across the world in their search for professional excellence, a rich network of business contacts now exists with major companies. Besides, GIBS maintains tie-ups with several institutes and universities abroad to step up research and generation of knowledge, sharing of responsibilities and teacher and student exchanges. Such an international exposure results in mutual benefit and shared values and concerns. When many such business leaders get together in 2018 @ the GIBS global campus, it would be time not only for learning but also the creating of business links. An impetus to industry and a growth of skills and knowledge would certainly transpire. Above all, it is the motivation to grow further as a result of joint efforts that is forthcoming at such a get-together.  

What can business meets achieve? Opening up to external influences is the secret recipe for business success. No enterprise has succeeded in remoteness and behind closed doors though confidentially in professional matters is recommended. Putting minds, heads, and hearts along with souls together helps the business to grow and reach for the stars! That give and take has become tremendously facilitated nowadays with the growth of the social media. You are never isolated nowadays even during lonely journeys. The world lies within a few taps on the smartphone virtual keyboard.  Conferences, workshops and seminars like the recent global business event in Hyderabad attended by Ivanka Trump point to what can be achieved when big business leaders converge together like a beehive. The results are not immediately apparent and it is true that many months and years may pass before the outcomes are really felt and seen. Rome certainly cannot be built so fast. Like the cake gradually rising in the baking process, businesses need a hibernating period to grow to perfection.  Agreements and the golden handshake lie at the heart of business mergers and acquisitions that are needed to launch large enterprises. Whether it is telecommunications or food delivery, app manufacture, logistics, electronics, social work etc., the heads come together and take crucial decisions that work like cement to amalgamate different elements. How do companies arrange for finance, office space, raw materials, manufacture of products or services being rendered, besides human resources and advertising? Such matters find quick solutions at those glittering events.

 A galaxy of business venues available in Namma Bengaluru Starry hotels and resorts, business centers and conference halls offer infinite facilities to streamline business meets. Not only do they offer state of the art facilities with lavish seating and cuisine, they offer all the media and software facilities that would take care of crucial issues. Whether it is the screening of films or large seating accommodation, air-conditioned well-decorated venues, it would be a pleasure to participate in such events that boost productivity. Professionalism has reached high levels in the face of globalization that has raised the standards of language and communication, ethics, and values, and opened up the mind and consciousness to international horizons. 

The GIBS global campus is constantly busy with learning activities It is obvious that study based on books alone behind the walls and closed doors of educational institutions would not suffice in the demanding 21st-century world. GIBS has the boys and girls constantly on their toes with learning activities that apply the lessons learned within the classroom walls. Quality improvement programs, placement training, and personality building, meeting with industry leaders and field visits to feel the pulse of corporations are very much on the agenda. Human Resources has taken on additional important meanings nowadays when it is realized that companies live and die according to the merits and achievements of the workforce. Clubs and committees provided another challenging avenue to realize the dreams of the young boys and girls who have set up their dreams in this mighty institute. If all goes well, courses end with encouraging placements as a first step of the professional ladder that may continue all lifelong.  Though 2018 is yet to be launched, the prospects of a mega business meet at the GIBS campus are truly stimulating. Like farmers in their fields and civil engineers amidst their constructions, business dreams are realized in factories and industries, services and start-ups. It is money, workers and raw materials that provide the basic thrust for a business to grow like food, clothing, and shelter in human life. Let us look forward to that mega business event that 2018 will make a vivid dream come true.

  GIBS Global Campus: Aim To Invite At Least 50 Startups in 2018 for Talk Series with Students  

  As effective multicultural education trains business managers to face global environments and put up with a sizzling pace in mega industries, technology and software assume a greater grip upon study and the various professions. More and more do we witness technology being relied upon to execute a number of services and in the designing and manufacturing process. Thus, the media is getting more and more crucial since development of software and the digital wonders happen at a rapid pace. Due to the fear of getting left behind, professionals need to be constantly on high alert and keep up with the day to day happenings. Global Institute of Business Studies consists of a faculty that is forever on the alert. Knowledge and development, progress and novelty never halt, always in search of better and faster, cheaper and simpler ways of doing things. Tie-ups with foreign institutes and universities do help to gain a valuable international exposure and foreign faculty and students from several countries push the boundaries forward.  

The startup-rich culture of Bengaluru! While a majority of GIBS students who pass out with the coveted MBAs and PGDMs are essentially looking for the best services with major companies to launch business careers, some are planning to set up business themselves. That would not be an easy process since it is always better to gain some working experience first to learn the professional culture. The greatest business that exists today essentially started as a startup. Whether it is luck or perseverance, clever marketing or big bucks, some of them have successfully reached the stars! Probably partnerships are responsible for the mighty achievements and the media is crowded with many such success stories that are difficult to believe. A global market easily accessed through the internet means so much and provides a mighty canvas and unlimited marketing potential. 

 Learning from startups! Given a choice, would you rather work for somebody or launch a startup? A difficult question to answer, certainly, but some have the ideas and motivation, capital and endurance to begin, probably in twos and threes. Will it be possible to shoulder all the stresses and duties individually? Hardly.  Whether it is the IT business, apparel, biotechnology, fashion, digital marketing, manufacture of goods and dispensing services, startups deal with almost every enterprise under the sun. Among the three top centers for startup cultures in India, Bangalore is going great guns not only in IT but in applied technology with industries developing at full blast. Education is high on the Namma Bengaluru agenda and just looks at the proliferation of institutes teaching business management, besides medicine and engineering, the traditional professions. Healthcare and hospitality besides media and several other new age careers have great potential too.  

Media-based learning adventures at GIBS Even within snug classrooms and nowadays commencing at the primary school, the media provides a challenging world of learning experiences, updated each day with new content! Similarly, the workshops, guest lectures and seminars conducted regularly at GIBS have an intimate relationship with the media that brings updated content from all over the world.  Even at the individual level, whether personally or professionally, you have access to global audiences through social media or specialized websites, profession-wise. You aim at specific audiences and that is what marketing is all about. The organization gains valuable exposure and publicity for the company news or announcements. Better profile building and reputations being managed well are left to the experts. Sway opinions and find a new dimension to your existence through the online vistas. 

 The 2018 Startup Talk Series with GIBS students Guest lecturers and interactions with celebrities, workshops in quality management and media, soft skills, personality development besides multifarious clubs and committees are constantly helping to evolve learning experiences at GIBS. Besides the traditional sports and games, music, dance and literary occasions, a greater involvement in the business world is inculcated in the boys and girls. Rather than learn from businesses that were established half a century ago, don’t you think that the story of startups would provide better learning experiences?  Through a study of the present day business environment, some clever startups have identified a vacuum where a new service could provide a viable market. Some startups have offered food supply, counseling services or provided meeting grounds with a variety of services. As simple as that, but a beginning has to be made with careful market research to identify where the niche is available.  Besides organizing a Business Conference on an epic scale in 2018, the Startup Talk series where perhaps 50 startups will participate will provide a wealth of ideas for enterprising GIBS students who may have startup plans on their minds. Such a talk series would bring fertile hunting grounds to learn how successful startups found their motivation and how they reached close to the peak of success so soon. If you had such a choice, would you rather not start a successful business with all the advantages of the online media? Maybe the chance is coming in 2018.

Set sail on immensely potential business management careers at GIBS

 

Global Institute of Business Studies in Bannerghatta, Bangalore, in Karnataka, India, promises to take you on a ride in the right direction. Now that it is 50 years since management education commenced in India, it is certainly time for sincere stock taking. Much has changed over the half century and primarily the rise of computer technology that ushered in a sea change in every aspect of the human effort. Otherwise, globally, the same trends in business education and similar curricula are followed. It is usually the American and European business schools that launch the trends that Asian countries pick up and implement. 

Indian standards of business education

If the syllabus is at par with the leading international business schools, why are the delivery and the educational experiences lagging in India? Why is it that 70% of business graduates are considered unemployable in the Indian market?

An exceptionally theoretical approach is often to blame with no connect with the real business situations. Besides, excessively busy executives will hardly find two years to complete full-time studies in management. In a world where immense quantities of valuable information flow through the internet daily, perhaps that may be considered sufficient. 

The GIBS promise

Teaching practical approaches in sync with the business world heartbeat is a cherished dream at GIBS. Personality development to mold a manager who succeeds well in multicultural environments is very much on the agenda. Besides the appropriate knowledge, managers need the right attitudes and skills, insight and expertise to face challenges successfully out in the mega-corporate environments. 

The global approach

Faculty from abroad along with students from many countries, exchange programs and sharing of knowledge and know-how, affiliations with institutes and universities abroad besides links with Bangalore University, GIBS has much to offer. It is a challenging scenario and student accomplishment across the dynamic semesters is worthy of emulation. 

The recently concluded GIBS events like the Convocation and the Student of the Year programs once again reminded that training to become a successful business manager is no piece of cake. The two occasions and several other smaller events reminded of the galaxy of stars the institute holds and their potential for professional growth if provided the right opportunity. The chances to grow wings and fly are what every student desires but few are so lucky. 

Successful internships with a string of top-notch companies and being recommended for excellent placements happen quite regularly at GIBS. A glance at the website and the prospectus reveals the wealth of companies that come knocking regularly. Every company is busy with diversifications and expansions, mergers and acquisitions and demand for outstanding managers will continue indefinitely. Is it not lucky that one of the top business schools has succeeded in creating powerful professionals who can hold their own in the corporate scenario of the 21st-century?

Specializations hold the key

Finance, Human Resources, and Marketing form the core areas of specialization for any enterprise. You have many more choices at GIBS. International Business would inspire many great careers. Why not opt for Healthcare, or Travel and Tourism, being vibrant careers in the present world scenario? Banking Finance and Insurance, Information Technology and Supply Chain Management are some more of those challenging careers. Startups and SMEs present mighty opportunities too. 

The world business scenario in the 21st-century

Imagine the complexities of the international business scenario today. Along with mega businesses in telecommunications and hospitality for example, scams are common even though we have come far from 2008. Kingfisher, Toshiba, and Volkswagen are three examples of things going horribly wrong even in the highest business circles. Keeping the head high amidst world business environments requires great moral strength, skills, and ideas. Ethics is hardly found in that bitter world of business competition where materialistic desires often prevail. 

A strong institutional background that promotes an international network of alumni provides an initial thrust to begin the professional flight successfully with internships and placements. As the years pass, it is a deep sea travel adventure, exposed to market trends and ever-changing conditions. Those who succeed are very few with some luck along with all the training that they received. An entrepreneurial spirit is supremely important, but backed up with numerous resources of mind, body, and spirit.

  GIBS Launches Foreign Study Tours for PGDM Students 

Located in picturesque Bengaluru, traditionally the garden city until it also became an international IT destination; Global Institute of Business Studies is truly inspiring. As a premier business school among the innumerable not so leading management schools, GIBS has succeeded remarkably well since 2001 in producing high ranking business managers who are deserving of excellent internships and lavish placements. Many are those who would wish to earn a PGDM or MBA, distinctive courses conducted here in addition to the BBA and BCOM.  

Affiliations and accreditations Locally affiliated to Bangalore University in Karnataka and also to Bharathiar University in Tamil Nadu, GIBS is AICTE and HRD Ministry recognized. Among the many salutations earned over the recent times are the status of Associated Member of XAT 2018 and Participating Institute by ATMA 2018.  

The task of building quality business managers! Managers are basically leaders of industry, though at several levels like the layers of a cake, perhaps of different shades. In the present day contemporary universe of immense business competition and a world that is getting too technological, mangers face stiff competition. Besides, the globe has opened up and workers are no longer confined to traditional roots. They need to find greener pastures abroad or accept a second rate existence in a mediocre job in India. Most business schools produce graduates and postgraduates who are not competitive enough and do not possess the skills and personality to survive in harsh work surroundings.  Employability and the finding of a good enough placement after the studies in a leading company is the ultimate test of successful business education. It is a pity that a great majority of Indian business school products are grossly inadequate. They may be smart in terms of theories and textbooks, but lack the will, the drive and motivation besides close industry knowledge to thrive successfully. Even if they did get opportunities, they would probably be unsuccessful to hit it off in international environments.

 The problem of foreign exposure Just like the difference between the traditional village-based education and travel overseas, it is strongly felt that exposure abroad would show the way to successful professional performances. Being stuck up in indigenous values just will not do in the contemporary 21st century scenario where cosmopolitan thinking and multicultural experiences are common. Just imagine the workings of the UNO with workers from many countries putting heads together. Each school and college nowadays needs to be little UNOs to succeed. Though we realize the value of the sons of the soil in preserving native heritage, survival requires international thinking, the building of bridges of friendship and understanding to fight against world evils like racism and environmental degradation.   

 PGDM foreign study tours The postgraduate diploma in management offered by GIBS is a much coveted two-year course that is studied after the graduation, which means at least 15 years of school and college study combined. A city like Bangalore has several private universities in addition to the state universities. Such give and take between foreign universities and Indian universities has already commenced. Some colleges offer two campuses in which degrees may be pursued, partly here in India and partly abroad. Foreign faculty has become a reality and thus the meaningful learning experiences are multiplied for greater understanding of lessons and people.  Probably, that is partly the problem. Most students are busy learning theoretical lessons with an eye on examinations of course. When will they get to understand people and organizations, cultures, races and religions? Young minds do open up with the opportunity to travel abroad on study tours when they encounter a different culture, just like African students in India, for instance.  Many would hesitate in view of the expenses involved, but consider the many advantages of foreign study tours. Exposure to foreign cultures and a multiplication of knowledge and experiences are the results. Meeting the faculty, industry and students abroad that may one day become employers, partners or employees. Even as a tourist, Indians come back from foreign tours as if enlightened after an exposure to a developed lifestyle with everything systematically in place. Most foreign countries are lucky that they do not have to struggle with mighty populations like India. Coming back motivated with eyes opened to the possibilities of a good life are truly elevating, though evils are found in plenty abroad too.  

Real experiences matter Every student has watched movies and read books about countries far away. Yet, the real experience of living in Europe for instance and visiting colleges and factories, companies and offices there would be truly a valuable learning experience. If we imagine that the whole world works similarly, it is a colossal mistake. Learning things virtually as much is done nowadays has its limitations. Learning to swim will require plunging into the water in spite of all the lessons you may take. The PGDM foreign study tours at GIBS would make a world of a difference to student competency and promote international connections.
