Placements: Placement at XIME can never be questioned; they maintained there 100% placement record. The minimum package is 7-8 LPA, the average is 10.3 LPA, and the maximum is 12 LPA. Oracle, EY, IDFC, and Accenture offer jobs, and Tata Steel, Britain, offers internships. The maximum stipend is $30,000. Roles are, according to vacancies, mostly associate.
Infrastructure: Here, campus life is both beautiful and tense, The library provide wide range of books, articles, journals, etc. It is such a rich source of gathering information. Classrooms are well-equipped with an AC, board, bench, chair, and projectors in every room. Each room in the hostel can accommodate two students, and both AC and non-AC options are available. Mess food is bad North Indian people are a little tough to adjust to; non-vegetarian food is good, but vegetarians need to adjust.
Faculty: In college, rules are only for girls; the same thing is ignored for boys. Teachers restrict many things for girls only, but in teaching, they are good but a little fast. The course is divided into 6 trimesters and 2 years. The whole curriculum is designed to teach many practical things. Courses and colleges are best in terms of professors and ROI. Exams are conducted in the form of midterm and endterm exams for 65%, and the rest come from quizzes, assignments, and practicals.

A really good year for placements.
Placements: This year even though our batch size was big compared to the past batches and also the pandemic going, our batch as of now is at approximately 92% placements. The highest package stands at 11.5 LPA and the current average package is nearly 8.5 LPA. All big companies like Infosys, Wipro, EY, Panasonic, Dell, Tata Power, Reliance and etc. Have been part of the recruitment process. All the students got internships during their first year. The companies in which we got internships were Alcodex, Amazon, V-Guard and etc.
Infrastructure: The campus is located 15 minutes away from the nearest metro station and you can get Ola and Uber very easily for the same. We have a main campus building two different hostels for girls and boys separately. The campus and Hostel are fully equipped with a 24x7 Wi-Fi facility. The boys hostel has a football ground, basketball court and also a badminton court. The food quality in the mess is good but not the best. The college has tie-ups with nearby hospitals for quick and rapid medical facilities whenever needed. The library facility on the campus is available from 8.30 Am to 8.30 Pm everyday except for sunday. All the classrooms are equipped with centralized ACs.
Faculty: All the faculty members are well qualified and very knowledgeable. One thing I can be sure about is the education quality of the campus is great. I was an operations student and we had the best operations faculty. The teaching quality of the faculty members is worth sitting for the 1 Hr classes. The college offers a PGDM course which is basically different from an MBA college as the college can change the curriculum and subjects offered as per the current industry need and business environment. We are taken to different Industrial visits to experience the real standards and the working of the industries. We have 6 trimesters - a mid term and an end term. The exams are mostly all application based.
Other: The campus provides various types of scholarships to meritorious students and also to students from all specializations and also to students taking part in various social programs all which can be viewed on the college's website.
