XIME Bangalore All Questions

Hello Sneha,

Xavier Institute of Mangement Studies is a good institution for management students as it provides good exposure of the industrial environment and adapt students to the global economy.

Since I'm also based out of Kerala and settled in Delhi, there is difference in composition and crowd of north-south. Both south and north provide good exposure and training but studying in north will give you additional advantage of learning new language, getting out of your comfort zone will make you more self dependent and you will gain a whole lot of experience and knowledge. Don't worry in initial stage you will face difficulty but soon you will be able to adapt yourself to the surroundings.

Goodluck for XAT. I hope it helps

All the best!

Dear Aspirant,

The better B school can be looked over in a number of aspects. Here are some of them for both PRAXIS and XIME, so that you decide.

PRAXIS, Kolkata

The accepted exams for PRAXIS are CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA and it also conducts the exams PAT. It offers two courses across three streams and six specialisations. The average fees moves from 6 lacs to 8 lacs for the course.

The number of placements at PRAXIS is extremely high and the packages range from 6.5 to 13 with around 90% to 95% placements in a particular course. The companies which come for in-campus placements are keen and top-ranking. The average package for the placements in 2018 was 8.30 LPA for Business Analytics.

hi,

While filling up the MAT application form, you have to choose 5 preferred B-schools, to which your application and MAT score will be sent by AIMA. Apart from those institutes, if you want to apply in other institutes, that you have to do separately by paying the stipulated application fee.

If you are inclined towards marketing only then XIMB will be a better option. In every ways XIMB is better than XIME be it a course on business management or Human Resource. But the placements are good in both the colleges and you can get a decent average package of 8-10 lakhs from both the colleges. 

Good luck 

If you have scored lesser than 90 percentile in MAT being a general category student then your chances of getting into any of these colleges is very low as they have a certain percentage of seats only for MAT. 

But if you are focusing on these two colleges only then you can appear for CAT or XAT for the next academic year. Or you can consider some other colleges based on your MAT scores. 

Good luck

Dear PD,

If you can wait and feel that you can perform better than your last attempt in CAT then I would suggest you should start working so that you can show some work experience. Interviewers don't like students who take gap year just to prepare for CAT entrance exam since CAT is an aptitude test, not an exam which requires the learning of facts and figures, unlike JEE or NEET and then you should write CAT exam in the coming November. No offence to these colleges but you will spend around 12-15 lakh and you won't get the placement of more than 6 lakh per annum from this college provided if you are in top 10% of your batch. A graduate who studied from a mediocre college earns between 3-4 lakh per annum so do you feel that a jump from 4 lakh to 6 lakh per annum with so much of investment is worth it? If you feel that you can work harder than before and can score percentile of at least 88 then only take a drop. If you don't feel that you can get a percentile around 90 in CAT then don't take a drop because even if you start with a low package, if you work hard then you can get better.
