Log in using your credentials and go to the certificate request or the relevant service section. Complete the required application form, upload necessary documents such as ID proof or fee receipts, and pay the applicable charges online. Once submitted, you can monitor the progress of your request directly through the portal.

How comfortable and private are the hostel villas and rooms on GIBS 10-Acre Lush Green Campus?

Dear Student, The hostel villas and rooms in Global Institute of Business Studies 10-Acre Lush Green Campus are quite comfortable with well-furnished and spacious, typically with beds, study desks, chairs, and wardrobes — designed to support both rest and study. You will have a comfortable living experience thanks to clean, neat, well-maintained, and ventilated hostel accommodations. As for privacy, 3-4 students are expected to share a single unit, which means privacy is average but fairly standard for student hostels. Curfew timings are enforced (e.g., ~8–9 PM), especially in the girls’ hostel, which adds structured security but limits late-night movement.
