Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 16: GIBS Business School in Bangalore, as an acknowledgment of its reputation as one of the most innovative and ready for the future institutes in the country, has now started accepting applications for the 2026 academic year. It has Bangalore University-affiliated BBA, master's programs, and PGDM programs. Students across the country and from other countries also can apply for the Bangalore University-affiliated popular BBA program, the new Master's of Business Administration (MBA), and the dual specialization Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM).
GIBS has long functioned as a center of innovation and entrepreneurial prowess, and excellence, transforming students into global leaders with exceptional value, mindset, and skill equipped to excel in the complex and new world of business. GIBS with these next set of innovations would still keep its reputation for grounded, applicable, multidimensional industry education programs while expanding the scope of its programs.
The Campus: 10 Acres of World-class Education Amidst a Lush Green Campus
The GIBS campus located in Bengaluru contains a 10-acre space that is fully outfitted with modern features, which GIBS students can use for leisure or learning. Students will be able to obtain a quality education while also feeling they are being cared for intentively in the rest and wellness areas as well. Students can freely use the recreation areas for gentle exercise to help them rest from studying in classrooms or other more technologically demanding spaces.
Being located in the heart of India's Silicon Valley means accessibility to numerous learning opportunities and immense prospects. Students can gain practical experience and learn about business solutions and challenges from real-world case studies which go beyond traditional textbook learning.
Flagship Programs at GIBS
GIBS ensures its flagship programs fully equip students during the course and beyond with learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. Graduates will possess a spirit of entrepreneurship and creativity due to GIBS programs.
PGDM (AICTE Approved - Dual Specialization with PGPIRE & CPMP)
The Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) remains the flagship offering of GIBS and one of the most sought-after programs in the region. What sets it apart is its dual specialization model, allowing students to combine two different fields and carve out unique career paths.
Specialization 1:
* Finance Management (FM)
* Marketing Management (MM)
* Human Resource Management (HRM)
Specialization 2:
* Operations & Supply Chain Management (OSCM)
* International Business (IB)
* Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Business Analytics (BA)
* Digital Marketing (DM)
* Marketing Management (MM)
* Information Technology (IT)
* Agri-Business Management (ABM)
* Healthcare Management (HM)
* FinTech Management (FTM)
* Product Management (PM)
Students can opt for one specialization from Specialization 1 and one specialization from Specialization 2.
In addition to these, the PGDM program integrates PGPIRE (Post Graduate Program in Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship) and CPMP (Certificate in Personal Mastery Program), enabling students to master professional skills while fostering an entrepreneurial mindset.
BBA (Bangalore University Affiliated - with CIRE & CPMP)
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program at GIBS is affiliated with Bangalore University, one of India's most recognized academic bodies. As one of the most sought-after options for students looking for a reputed BBA course from Bangalore, it is structured to give undergraduates a strong foundation in management, leadership, and global business practices.
Specializations Offered:
* Marketing Management (MM)
* Human Resource Management (HRM)
* Finance Management (FM)
* Data Analytics (DA)
* International Business (IB)
The integration of CIRE (Centre for Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship) and CPMP ensures that even undergraduates benefit from exposure to entrepreneurial ecosystems and leadership development programs.
MBA (Bangalore University Affiliated - New Addition for 2026)
In line with growing demand from students and industry, GIBS has introduced its Master of Business Administration (MBA) program starting from the 2026 intake. This program brings together academic excellence and practical business insights, offering a wide array of career-focused specializations:
* Finance Management (FM)
* Marketing Management (MM)
* Human Resource Management (HRM)
* Banking, Finance & Insurance Services Management (BFIS)
* Business Analytics (BA)
* Healthcare Management
* Startups & SMEs Management
* Logistics & Supply Chain Management
The MBA program reflects GIBS' commitment to expanding opportunities for learners while aligning with the evolving demands of global business and emerging industries.
Practice Schools of Excellence
The Practice Schools of Excellence at GIBS are unique in that they are fully onboard the campus and offer practical learning opportunities that allow sponsored students to leave with crossover skills fully operational.
* GIBS Mind Valley (School of Mindfulness): Students learn about wellness through the cultivation and integration of emotional and social skills. Balancing mental and emotional wellness in learning spaces is a necessity for life.
