XIM University Bhubaneswar Answered Questions

Xavier University is the umbrella organization of which XIMB is a part. Earlier all management programs were under XIMB. Now with Xavier University (XUB), the BM, HRM, and RM programs have been split, also a new program sustainability management (SM) has been added. The major advantage is that earlier, people used to get a PGDM degree but as it is a university now, the students get an MBA degree. As far as faculties are concerned, there is no difference. Also, there is no difference in the campus culture. Placement of BM and HRM is done by the placement committee which has both BM and HRM students.

Hello,

To get into XIMB-XUB, one has to clear CAT/ XAT /X-gmat (conducted in Bhubaneswar) and then the PI-WAT process. For getting shortlisted for the PI-WAT process the minimum cut-off is 92 percentile for the Business management and 85 percentile for HR management.

XIMB has better placement but Retail Management is niche course and has lesser avg salary range of around 6-7lacs. IBS Hyderabad has core MBA programs which has similar avg salary of 8lacs per annum. Both have good brand recognition so choose wisely.

The shortlisting of students for a company is done by the company itself. The placement committee facilitates the process only. In fact it guides the students on different fronts like the format in which the CV needs to be submitted, the dress code to be followed etc.
