The question that often arises is “What
makes XIMB different from the host of other
B-Schools?” Everyone talks of a conducive
environment, pedagogical approach and
infrastructure.
But what separates XIMB is the maturity
that it has reached with respect to the
utilization of resources, infrastructure &
intellectual capability; be it in learning,
practice, research or training.
The complete utilization of this system lies
in the fact that it is embedded in the XIMB
culture.
A major feather in the Institute's cap is the
AIS (Academic Information System), which has
been designed to enable On-Line Quizzes,
On-Line Assignments and On-Line Business
Games. It keeps faculty and students in
continuous contact.
Recent developments at XIMB include the
opening of the office of the National HRD
Network (Utkal Chapter) and inauguration of our
purpose built 600-seater auditorium, a first for
the State of Orissa.
The current PGP-II (2002-04) and PGP-I
(2003-05) batch have an excellent mix of
experienced and fresh students.
It is my privilege and pleasure to invite you
to the campus in Jan-2004 for the final
placement of our graduating students. I am
confident that our students will not only meet
your stringent recruitment standards but also
contribute immeasurably to your corporate
excellence once they join your organisation.

XX eXcellence and beyond
The academic approach is a holistic one,
integrating procedural, theoretical and applied
aspects of management. Through summer placements
and live projects it ensures that students receive
ample opportunity to apply the classroom learning in
a practical environment. During the first year
students follow a broad based programme that
provides the fullest appreciation of all aspects of
management. In the second year students have
complete freedom to choose from a wide range of
electives. This ensures that they acquire the skills
they want to fulfil their potential in the corporate
environment. A spirit of healthy competition is
engendered and students are inspired to pursue
excellence in all that they do, armed with a clear
understanding of the social and ethical
responsibilities of management.
The academic programmes are led by the
dedicated and committed 27 core faculty. They are
assisted by visiting faculty who are selected from the
best of academia and industry. They represent the
cream of academic excellence from India and
overseas universities. They share a common goal to
ensure that the students of XIMB are equipped to
make an indelible mark in the world of management.
The Institute has placed particular emphasis on
its IT infrastructure to ensure that all students have
continuous access to the most advanced technology
and information available. Every student hostel room
has a PC with twenty-four hour access to an optical
fibre network ensuring uninterrupted connectivity to
the Internet and other network resources.
Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB) is a dynamic
and innovative business school, continually demanding the
highest levels of excellence from itself, its faculty and
perhaps most importantly, from its students. There is no
question that this Institute has come a very long way in its
16-year history. It chose to benchmark its standards against
the very best business schools in India, Asia and the world
when it was first established in 1987. These same
uncompromising standards hold just as true today as the
Institute continues to innovate to ensure the very highest
standards of education for its students.
The State Government of Orissa chose Bhubaneswar as
the home for XIMB because of its strong intellectual
tradition, superb ambience for study and learning and
excellent interconnectivity with the rest of the country.
The Institute's buildings nestle in 20 acres of lush greenery
creating a perfect environment for learning. The Institute
has a continuing and ongoing commitment to enhance the
infrastructure to ensure full support is given to the
achievement of academic excellence.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Management
(equivalent to an MBA) is the Institute's major programme
(Two years full time or three years part time). It takes
young men and women who have already proven
themselves amongst the elite in India academically and
hones their abilities to become groundbreaking leaders in
the corporate world.
In addition, the Institute offers a Post Graduate
Diploma in Rural Management and a Fellow Programme in
Management for those wishing to carry out cutting edge
research at Doctoral level.

XX the empowered eXplorers
Rarely has India had a greater need for talented
young people to create value in the sphere of business.
However, the need of the hour is more than just talent,
but multi-skilled, multi-functional individuals who exude
confidence, flexibility, adaptability, resilience and
tenacity.
During their time at Xavier Institute of Management
we give students every encouragement to fully explore
their potential. They are empowered to create in
themselves the value that they will carry with them when
they join any company or organisation. The Institute's
policy is to provide a large range of electives in the
second year and make them all available to all students.
This gives students the flexibility to equip themselves
with the skills and tools they require to become
exceptional leaders and managers.
The graduating students of Xavier Institute of
Management (XIM) have undergone a two-year programme
that is rigorous, demanding and continually challenging.
This ensures that they are ready, competent and eager to
explore today's complex world of management and add
significant value to an employer because of a shorter
learning curve.
XIMers are groomed for two rigorous years to learn to
be self-starters. They are versatile enough to combine
individual brilliance with team effort to deliver a final
solution to the corporate houses that match their needs.
And most importantly, they are trained to do this under
pressures experienced in real life situations.

AlumniThere are 1903 alumni from XIMB who are already
making their presence felt in dramatic ways across
the corporate landscape. Feedback indicates that
they frequently show tendencies to “get up to speed”
very fast once they join an organization and
demonstrate high levels of self-motivation, tenacity
and innovation. The high “added-value” they bring to
their roles has been reflected in the exceptional
achievements to date by these flag bearers and
ambassadors for XIMB.
“Thanks to the years I spent at XIMB, I grew up, professionally
and personally. It provided me the much needed theoretical
support to sharpen my application capabilities. I am glad to
have been taught by some of the best gurus in the world.
Their guidance extends to me beyond the time I spent at the
Institute. I became better at managing time. I learnt to be
humble and my respect for people has gone up.”

going that eXtra mile
A funneling effect: The courses offered in 2nd year
are mostly cross-functional in nature. Thus, a student
specializing in marketing has a view of human resources
in international marketing. Conversely, a core HR
student learns about marketing practices of different
countries when he devises entry strategies into foreign
markets in international HRM. The same applies to
specializations in finance or systems where the
organization is viewed as an integrated system of
its various business functions and not as a loose
boundary encompassing independently existing parts
and sub-parts.
Meta competence: Perhaps the greatest take
away from the pedagogy at XIMB is the churning of
cognition. We learn how to learn and unlearn. Thus, we
develop the ability to be effective in any situation. In
short, the pedagogy moulds us to be become life-long
learners.
Integrity: This is something that cannot be taught.
Today, there is a rising murmur of corporate governance
being a source of competitive advantage and not a value
system that should be an inherent part of every
business. However, when we observe the faculty, the
charity work they do and their devotion to
developmental work, we realize the importance of
ideals and values. The pedagogy instills among the
students a sense of respect and duty without apparently
teaching these values. But looking back at what we
were when we joined and what we are today, we
comprehend the subtle change that has altered us
fundamentally. The students enter XIMB with the
objective of learning business skills. We leave the place
as complete human beings.
Technology Orientation: In all lectures,
presentations and projects, the faculty and students
are encouraged to use and leverage technology to the
maximum possible extent. This, apart from facilitating
learning, prepares us for the IT leveraged corporate
world.
XXThe world of business is in a state of flux and this makes it
incumbent on a world-class business school to place a high
emphasis on continual upgrading of the curriculum. Our aim is
to ensure that we maintain the correct balance between
theoretical and practical knowledge and that all courses are
kept up to date. Upgradation is a continuous process.
We believe that our students benefit from a curriculum
that is designed with the needs of employers in mind.
As a result our students combine sound theoretical knowledge
with experience of implementation in real life situations.
PedagogyWe have an entire gamut of professional pedagogy in all
aspects of management - operations, marketing, strategy,
human resources, systems, finance etc. However, there is a
set of factors that lends the pedagogy of this institute its
excellence.
Theory: The institute places a stress on strong
theoretical fundamentals instead of solely relying on
application orientation through cases. This ensures that the
students analyze real life situations through the framework
of contemporary theory.
International touch: There is a strong blend of Indian as
well as truly global cases that are discussed. With the winds of
globalization catching on, no more can B-Schools deal
exclusively in Indian cases. Here at XIMB, we are exposed to a
worldview, enabling us to make the transition from being an
Indian manager to a transnational manager seamlessly.
08
FacultyAt XIMB, we have worked hard to attract
and retain faculty of the highest caliber. Not only are they highly talented and accomplished individuals, but they also share a common passion for development and learning of students. Their aim is nothing short of bringing out the true potential in students to ensure that they become the very best that they can be.
The XIMB faculty has always been involved in cutting-edge consultancy work, both, for the corporate area and the society and reflects the commitment to social responsibility that XIMB has. Path-breaking consultancy work in the power sector reforms in recent time, consultancy for micro-finance, consultancy for disaster mitigation, socio-economic empowerment of tribal people are just a few to name. The clients vary from the World Bank to the corporate houses to several state governments in India.
The students at XIMB directly benefit from this wide gamut of consulting experience of its faculty. The classroom discussions get enriched through the insights that the faculty bring from their consultancy experiences. The vast body of contextual knowledge thus gets embedded into a theoretical framework.
It is not only the faculty; the students at XIMB are engaged in consulting as well. XIMB students over the years have successfully carried out several consulting assignments for local organizations.

Functional Areas
Our academic courses are delivered through nine
functional areas; Marketing, Accounting & Finance,
Information Systems, Human Resources Management,
Decision Sciences and Operations Management,
Organisational Behaviour, General Management,
Economics and Rural Management.
Year 1
In the first year students are given a broad
appreciation of business functions through a range of
subjects. During this phase they begin to identify those
areas wherein their aptitude lie.
Year 2
In the second year the students select from among
an array of electives according to their inclinations and
competence. Unlike many other B-schools we place no
restrictions on which electives may be chosen. This
allows sufficient leeway to students to pursue their
fields of interest without restriction and achieve
a cross-functional command.

A variety of clubs and associations provide an
invaluable extension beyond classroom learning.
They provide unique opportunities for students to
implement the ideas they have, acquire new skills
through interaction with practitioners from business
and practice their organisational abilities.

Live HR related projects, such as a recent one carried
out for NIIT, give first hand experience of formulation and
implementation of HR strategies in business.
The association has close ties with the National HRD
Network, which has opened its Utkal Chapter offices

XFin - The Finance Association of XIMXFin is instrumental in promoting activities related to
finance on the campus. The activities spill over from the
arena of academics into trading in the stock market. An
innovative, fully student-managed Mutual Fund, the first
of its kind in any Indian B-school has been floated under the
auspices of XFin. It offers students the opportunity to
understand the mechanism of the Stock Exchange.
One of the major events carried out by X-fin is the
analysis of the Union Budget presented by the Finance
Minister of India. Last year, the event was organized in
association with the Bhubaneswar chapter of ICWAI.
Speakers from the National Stock Exchange and ICICI
Bank joined student speakers from XIMB and more than
700 people attended the event.
Come Xpressions, the annual fest of XIMB, X-Fin
conducts several finance games including a Stock Market
simulation called Dalal Street. The workings of
International finance are exhibited through 'Dollars and
Yens'. There are also Panel Discussions and Paper
Presentations with notable speakers from the world of
finance.
XFin organizes seminars, talks and lectures.
It brings out an annual publication titled Invest Aid and
an Xpressions special issue called Invex.
A remarkable initiative of XFin is the Knowledge
Centre. Primarily set up to help students from non-
finance backgrounds to understand finance, it is
regularly updated with new definitions and insights into
the theories of finance and economics. It also holds
support sessions for the PGP I students to help them
overcome difficulties and introduce them to new fields
of knowledge. The Facts and Figures column of their web
page is regularly updated with data from the economy
and the markets so as to provide an up-to-date ready-
reckoner for students.

UlyssesUlysses is a business strategy game conceived and
developed by students of XIMB.
It is an online Simulation game, a game that revolves around formation of strategies. It involves different aspects of management from Finance, Marketing and Operations.
From Capital Structure and Financing to Investment, Capacity Utilization to Inventory Management, Sales and Distribution Management to Brand Management - this game covers every facet of real life decision-making in the corporate world. It tests the ability not only to read the market, with all its complexities but the ability to preempt it-the hallmark of the master strategist.
Each decision one takes will affect not only the fortunes of one’s own firm but also those of the competitors and of the industry as a whole. Each Company is competing to gain the maximum market share. This simulation provides a dynamic environment where change is the only constant. The environment may be simulated but the challenge is real.
Ulysses was played last year during Xpressions, the annual B-School Event of XIMB. 170 teams from different B-Schools participated in this game which was played over a period of one month. On the Corporate side, the game saw participation from Infosys, TCS, L&T, SIDBI, Satyam etc
According to experts; “The game provides an opportunity to view the various business functions holistically and understand the dynamics of cross-functional interactions”
X-Stage: The Dramatics AssociationThis is a new XIMB student association set up to
enable students to express their creative side. In its first year X-Stage has staged five very well received productions with more to come in the future. All of these have been completely developed in-house.
X-Stage has also explored other areas of creative expression such as dance drama, street theatre and drama workshops. Exploration of challenging issues of the day in our country or the role of managers through the eyes of drama provides members with insights and deeper understanding.

Academic Information System (AIS)AIS is a home spun software system and is one of its
kind among the business schools in the country. It helps to
automate academic administration and knowledge
management within academic institutions. AIS includes
sophisticated tools that streamline processes, enhance
academic development, and provide integrated solution to
academic development. Today's higher education
institutions are under unprecedented pressure; to serve
the needs of students and employees, address demands for
educational reforms, trim budgets in the face of
decreasing funding, and increase grant revenues. AIS
provides benefits to each member of the academic
community in the institution - the academic office, the
students, the faculty and the management.
Project Accounting and Monitoring
Information System (PAMIS) Today, Non Governmental Organization face
unprecedented pressure. And they are also under
increasing financial scrutiny. Tracking financial planning
and monitoring within your organization is no longer a
matter of choice - It's a matter of survival.
NGO's are project organizations. They are involved in
implementing several projects being funded by
Government and Funding agencies. Successful project
implementation requires impeccable planning, progress
monitoring and strong financial discipline.

PAMIS, yet another in house software development
initiative, integrates financial planning and control with

developmental objectives.
Examination On-Line (EOL)In any educational institute, apart from teaching,
performance assessment and evaluation is one of the major
challenges. Learning is enhanced through timely and
frequent feedback. Most teachers would find the
Performance Evaluation tedious and monotonous.
EOL is a solution for the performance evaluation woes of
the teachers and students. This web based tool gives
complete control to the teacher to build his question bank,
design quizzes and examinations and administer the quiz
over the Internet and publish results.
Internet Survey (iSurvey)Conducting Surveys is a common requirement in
many disciplines such as Business Management,
Psychology, Sociology, etc. The manual method of
questionnaire design, administration, data collection
and compilation is a very tedious process. iSurvey is a
web based solution to conduct surveys. The process of
designing and administering the survey is greatly
simplified when you use iSurvey. The data collected
can be exported to SPSS or a Spreadsheet for further
analysis.

One can never underestimate the importance of
the alumni of XIMB. These are the people who, in the

learning and many now hold key leadership positions
in their chosen fields. The students welcome the
inspiration these past students give and value their
interactions with their predecessors. SPORTS AT XIM
XIMB students recognise the value of a healthy
mind in a healthy body. That's why we, at XIMB keep
sports at the top of our minds. However busy the
study schedules, students ensure they get maximum
benefit from XIMB’s excellent sports facilities.
Along with the huge football ground we also
have a
basketball court, volleyball courts, badminton

which are those against the faculty.

Till today, I do not recollect any time in my life, when my thinking took such an exponential jump. Also, with associations, festivals, celebrity talks and seminars, all vying for attention, in addition to academic courses, quizzes and presentations, XIMB was an intense mix of creativity and serious study, all in a location which is as serenely beautiful as it can get.”

Summer Placements
At the end of the first year, each student spends
two months with an organization as part of his summer
internship. XIMB has a rich repertoire of companies
which recognize the benefits of offering these
opportunities to the students. It includes many of the
most highly regarded companies in India like GE-SBI,
PwC, UTI Bank, ABN Amro Bank, Wipro, Reliance
Infocom, GECIS, ICICI to name a few. The Summer
Internship is an integral part of the XIMB curriculum.
One of the most valuable benefits is for the students to
see first hand how the theories and principles learned
in the classroom translate in to reality in the business
world.
One of the most useful purposes served by the
summer placement is that when XIMers complete their
two years of study they are ready and enthusiastic to
'hit the ground running' for their new employer. These
are young professionals with a thirst for action and a
hunger to make their mark in the corporate world.
Live ProjectsAt XIMB we consider it vital that students have an
awareness that is grounded in the real world of
business and management where theory meets
reality. For this reason we aim to involve our students
in live projects that give them hands-on opportunities
to put their classroom learning in to practice. These
projects also offer wonderful opportunities for
students and faculty to see the fruits of their work
having a direct benefit in the community and in the
corporate arena.
DAZZLE ProjectRising to the number 2 position.
One of the recent success stories is the Dazzle
project undertaken by Maxim. This mineral water
brand was fighting a tough battle against such big
shots like Bisleri, Kinley and Bailey. When the project
came to MAXIM, they devised a complete marketing
strategy for the brand. This included studies on Brand
preferences, Consumer buying behavior, distribution
coverage in Bhubaneswar of Dazzle and Detailed
competitor analysis.
By determining the critical factors leading to sale
of bottled water, MAXIM arrived at concrete
suggestions on marketing issues like how to improve
the reach and coverage of the product across
Bhubaneswar, what should be the correct mix of
schemes for the retailers and what should be the
advertising and promotion strategy. As a result of
these efforts getting implemented, the brand equity
of the product improved remarkably. This was
reflected in the increase in market share of Dazzle,
which rose from being a number three brand in
Bhubaneswar to being number two.

Bhubaneshwar, the capital of Orissa, is situated in
the Khurda district. The city has been built in two
parts;on one side is the ancient town with its world
famous temples and on the other, the newly
constructed capital with its offices, courts and private
residences. Bhubaneshwar, geographically serves not
only as a link between northern and southern India, but
it also opens up channels of communication and
commerce with the rest of the world. Visitors are
impressed with the splendour of the three monuments
- the soaring spire of the Lingaraja temple, the white-
domed peace Pagoda of Dhauli on the bank of the river
Daya, and the pink temple of Mahavir Jain on the
Khandagiri hill.
Apart from being a temple city, Bhubaneswar is
amongst the most favored destination for IT companies
and corporates. Some of the big names like Infosys and
Satyam already have their development centres in
Bhubaneswar along with STPI Park.
