Xavier Institute of Management and Research

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 Anita,
The companies mentioned on the website are true. However, I think I should give you a fair amount of information about placements at XIMR. You may notice that some students from the college have been placed at Accenture - these students had some work experience in IT and also had an engineering degree, which helped them get a job there. Last year, we had one person joining Nielsen, one person joining Hindustan Unilever, and a few people joining HDFC. However, one more thing to note is that companies may hire only the best 3-4 candidates (or sometimes only 1 candidate). Also, some companies may not come every year - they may come every alternate year.
XIMR is more of a learning-focused college, meaning that you will have to put in a lot of efforts to develop yourself. You may find that some other colleges are more focused on placements. Rest assured that I am giving you true facts about the college. Let me know if I can help in any more ways.
