Xavier Institute of Management and Research Mahapalika Marg Mumbai Answered Questions

Hi Clive,
The minority cut-offs differ for each college and for each academic year depending on the complexity of the qualifying exam and the median scores obtained by students. Usually they are always significantly lower than the general cut-off, however it depends on the number of seats available and scores of minority students.
For XIMR:
The cut-off is usually decided basis your CET score and not your percentile. For the year 2016, the cut-off was somewhere around 100-110. However, this does not imply that this pattern might be carried forward next year as well as due to an increase in high rankers, many students with very good percentiles did not make it to their desired colleges.
I'd say study hard, give it your best shot and hope for the best!

Hi Clive,
Basis DTE admission procedure of 2016, there is no separate procedure conducted for minorities, only additional documents pertaining to your minority category are to be submitted at the time of registering with the ARC(Authorized Registration Centre).
For Roman Catholic Minorities at XIMR:
You are to submit your Proforma O at the ARC and wait for your allotment in the CAP(Common Admission Procedure) rounds. Once you are allotted a seat in the college you have to secure your admission through any of the Freeze/Float option and by paying the initial DTE fee. When all the CAP rounds are over you will asked to confirm your final allotment at the ARC and will receive a letter of the same. This letter has to be submitted to the college allotted(XIMR in this case) along with the standard required documents, and a Minority Affidavit (in prescribed format). The first installment of your fees will be paid at this time as well, however there is a provision to apply for minority Scholarship later in your semester as well.
Hope this helps!

Hi Vishal,
Here is my honest review. I am measuring XIMR on two parameters – education and placements. For education – the college is pretty good. It has a very experienced faculty. For placements – the college is modest, though it is improving its record. There is still some improvement needed as the potential for placements is very huge.
XIMR is a place where your success depends on yourself. The resources are there – the library, the computer centre, the classrooms and the huge meeting or discussion rooms. But all of the successes and your learning depend on how well you use these resources for your own benefits and advantages.
I personally think XIMR needs to be a bit stricter, but then again they provide you with all the resources at your disposal. In fact, you also get access to world-class, subscription based newspapers such as The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. If your major focus is on learning, XIMR is a decent place. If your major focus is placements, then you should prefer other options. That is not to say that the placements are bad - we have firms like HDFC, Nielsen, Hindustan Unilever, Reliance Industries, Maersk, etc, who come to recruit from us.
The college doesn't really focus on advertising itself a lot, which is why you will find that the website and brochure is not updated. I checked the website, and it looked pretty updated to me. Let me know if I can help you with any information.

Hi Vinay,
For Finance, the average package is around Rs 5.5 lakhs. The highest for Finance last year was Rs. 10.9 lakhs. For internships, the stipends depend on the company. But honestly, stipend is the last thing you should be looking for during an internship; it's the learning that counts.
