I'm happy with this college.
Placements: Around 75 students got placed in rural management. The highest salary package offered was 8 LPA and the lowest salary package was 1 LPA to 2 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Ujjivan small finance bank, IDFC, and Polycab India. Around 99% of students got placement in companies like Polycab India, IDFC, Rajeevika BRLPS, JSLPS, Manipal Tata medical college, Annapurna Finance, Ujjivan small finance bank, Bharat financial inclusion ltd, Federal Bank, Support, FES, Centrum, and St Jude India Childcare centers. Around 100% of students got internships in companies like TSF, BRLPS, Srijan foundation, Phia foundation, etc. Students got placements at IDFC as Managers.
Infrastructure: Our college provided the proper facilities needed for the rural management course. Library consisted of many books and online sites were available on the computers in the library. There were proper computer labs with Wi-Fi. Classrooms with air conditioners and projectors were available. Hostel was neat and clean and served tasty food. Food served in the canteen was tasty because the same chef was cooking food in the college and hostel. They served kachori in the breakfast every morning. Canteen kachori was famous as it was tasty.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were well-qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Their teaching quality was very good. They explained every topic very clearly with real-life examples. The course curriculum included some financial subjects, so some finance companies visit our college to offer placements. Many students belonging to accounts or BBA opt for these companies. As I belong to the pandemic batch we attended 18 months of online classes but the last 6 months were memorable and got the opportunity for rural camp visits. Around 98% of students scored a 7 CGPA and more.
Other: I chose this course because my educational background was in Science and I came from a semi-rural area where I spent my childhood observing the rural people and their culture, ethics, lifestyle, etc. I want to work for poor rural people. The best thing about rural management was students learn many things about rural areas and how to manage things happening in rural areas. Our college should focus a bit on urban areas.

The brand which transformed their students to professional with IQ & EQ.
Placements: Above 90% of every batch of Rural Management Programme of XAVIER INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SERVICE gets placed in reliable and trustworthy brand with decent packages.

Faculty: The teachers are always ready to help students 24*7 whenever the students get stuck related to their education field including internships and placement. The curriculum introduction is also updated and very well connected with the requirements of the corporate sector and because of which, the students under Xavier brand will always prove themselves as an all-rounder.
Other: Xavier Institute of Social Service was established in the year 1955 and from then, it has proved itself by nurturing professional with IQ and as well as EQ. I have chosen this rural management programme because it's an emerging sector especially in countries like INDIA, where the development rate has to increase with sustainability and this is what the facilities teach us during our 2 years of course time.

They also conduct various competitions like business case study, debate competition.

Our hostel is the best.
Faculty: Faculty members are qualified professors in different backgrounds, and their support helps students to grow. They share their knowledge, experiences, etc., which helps students for our overall development. They use various methods to teach students and more of that, and they believe in interactions and practical implications rather than delivering lectures. In the course curriculum, they have covered every part for making students rural developmental ready.
Other: I have chosen rural management above many other courses and colleges. I have chosen this course for practical exposure they give students here. Whatever be read and study about, students get a chance to apply them practically so that we can connect with the things better. We get weekly sessions by different other companies and get to know about the grassroots areas which help us in developing ourselves. Apart from academics, Various other events and extracurricular activities are conducted for the overall development of the students, and it is something I cherish about the college. At last, I will say that it nurtures you with a difference.
