About GEMS B School
GEMS B SCHOOL is the Pioneer of Work-Study Programs in India — the B-School with a difference. Conceived by experienced academicians and inspired by accomplished professionals, GEMS operates under the conviction that "Managers are not made in classrooms." Our Earn-Learn-Earn model places students in full-time jobs from day one: Work Monday to Friday. Study on Saturdays and Sundays.
Our curriculum blends 70% practical workplace learning with 30% classroom instruction — delivered by faculty who are active industry practitioners. Strategic alliances with the University of Sunderland (UK), Roosevelt University (USA), and La Trobe University (Australia) give every student a pathway to an internationally recognised degree. With a UGC-recognised, NAAC 'A' Grade university partnership and 472+ corporate partners, GEMS delivers education that is robust, content-rich, and industry-relevant.
+ Read more ›Our Difference
Work-Study programs allow students to apply classroom learning directly at the workplace, driving deeper understanding of management concepts.
Students gain significant work experience alongside their Management degree — giving them an edge in jobs and salary negotiations.
By programme end, students earn more than what they've paid in fees through their full-time salary placement.
All faculty are senior executives and subject matter experts who step in to teach modules they specialise in — boardroom to classroom.
Strategic partnerships with universities in the USA, UK & Australia offer students the option to complete their degree internationally.
