Hi Pallavi,
Yes, the first year is a bit stressful, but believe me - you will be thankful by the end of it. Stress is a part of any good MBA college including Jamnalal Bajaj. That's the only way you learn to manage time and yourself.
The management seats and the institute level seats are the same. No extra money as such for these.

Hi there,
The course is a 2 year course, equivalent to an MBA. The faculty is really good - almost all of them have an experience of around 15-20 years. Placements are modest - there are good companies that hire from us. The average salary package is Rs.5 lakhs. Some professors provide notes - others make you write your own notes. Timings are 9:30 AM to 8:30 PM.

There is GD-PI for ILS, but whether it happens or not depends on the number of seats that are available. There is usually no GD-PI after CAP rounds

Hi Anita,
That's a good question. In a MBA/PGDM course from any college, students with work experience will always have an advantage. This advantage will also help them in placements. However, that does not mean that students without work experience will not get good jobs. When recruiters come, they look at the student's overall performance in college academics, and they will select the student if they are impressed (even if that student does not have any job experience).

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 co

Hi Subhadra,
The fees for one year is around Rs. 2.5 lakhs. This fees is applicable to everyone, including those from the OBC category. However, the OBC category for MMS in Mumbai is primarily reserved for local Maharashtrian candidates. These candidates will get a refund of part of their fees, after the course has started. They will need to fill some forms for the refund.

Hi Uttam,
I'll give you an unbiased, honest review, and for that I will measure XIMR on two parameters – education and placements.
For education – the college is pretty good. It has a very experienced faculty, who are approachable for students.
For placements – the college is modest, though it is still improving its record. There is still some improvement needed as the potential for placements is very huge.
I have this message for you: This college 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 suc

Hi Anita,
Some companies who have come for summers include:
Godrej Interio
National Stock Exchange
HDFC
SBI Mutual Fund
FCB Ulka
Securities and Exchange Board of India
Reliance Infra
Reliance Mutual Fund
Fine Food
Quite often students use their own contacts for internship. That way some students got into KPMG, Deloitte, Panasonic and Tata Motors.
The stipend varied. HDFC gave Rs.15,000, while some others gave Rs.5,000. However, a few companies did not provide any stipend at all.
You have to understand that during internship it is the experience you get that matters, and hence some students are willing to work without stipend.
