JIBS remains committed to excellence, with a clear emphasis on real-world relevance and the professional futures of its students.

Many pursued roles with leading NGOs such as IPE Global, Child Rights and You (CRY), Bal Raksha Bharat, Pehchan, and the India Vision Foundation, where they contributed to impactful social initiatives. Others opted for corporate and consulting environments, gaining exposure to organizational dynamics at firms including Grant Thornton Bharat LLP, ITC Ltd., Brandcom PR, KPMG, Deloitte, Wipro, and Mercer Mettle. In addition to domestic opportunities, some students also sought international exposure through Short-Term Study Abroad Programs, such as the Asian Business in Japan Special Kyoto Program at Temple University, Japan, and the Granada Summer School focusing on Spanish language and culture. These experiences collectively strengthen professional readiness and broaden global perspectives.
Postgraduate students in the M.Sc. Psychosocial Rehabilitation program similarly benefit from extensive hands-on training in both clinical and community-based settings. Their internships span reputable institutions and organizations, including the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences, Warriors Without Cause, Olive Minds, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, Hopes Autism Centre in Dehradun, and Hope Trust Psychiatric Clinic and De-addiction Centre in Hyderabad.
