Is XIMB HRM worth the 17 lakh fee? Will the XUB thing have any impact?

Arka DuttaM.B.A. from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

There is no such course as XIMB HRM. The HR School of XUB, XAHR, offers the HRM course. Pursuing this degree is certainly worth the money invested. Xavier School of Human Resource Management placements has an average CTC of INR 12.9 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 22.5 LPA. Many students get salary packages in INR 20 LPA slab.

The XUB thing hasn’t made any major impacts. The faculty is same, the selection criteria are same, and so is the list of recruiting companies.

Which is the best option among these; an MBA at Christ, development studies at TISS, an MBA at ICFAI Hyderabad, or rural management at XIMB?

Rohit Thomas KoshyStudied MBA in Business Management at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (Graduated 2020)

First of all, I don’t deem it right for you to compare an MBA with Development studies as both are vastly different. Even comparing a General MBA with that in Rural Management is unjustified. The choice of the program depends on what your inclinations and interests are and what you want to do with your degree.

The points below will help you know the right choice for some general preferences.

Rural Management: If you want to be in the new markets and provide forward linkages to rural enterprises or backward linkages to large-scale industries, then Rural Management is best for you.
Development Studies: If you are willing to work in the policy sector, with an understanding of the development and public policy, and want to become an expert in project management, development, and implementation works in both rural and urban development, in a human and spatial context, then Development Studies is perfect for you.
For Money: If money is your primary goal then look for a good MBA college as the ones you mentioned are just average.

It is essential to know what exactly a course offers and what you are after only then you can make an informed decision

How is the XIMB full-time MBF (Management of Business in Finance) course?

Ujjwal GuptaMBA Marketing & Finance, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2017)

MBF (Master's in Business Finance) is a course under the Xavier School of Commerce (XSC). It is important to note that XIMB and XSC are separate schools coming under the umbrella of Xavier University Bhubaneswar (XU). Some key highlights related to this course are

MBF is a specialized program spread over a 2-year period divided into 4 semesters
The course curriculum has 84 credits of classroom instruction and other credit components including two sets of elective specializations - "Banking and Insurance", and "Finance"
Additionally, the program requires project work carrying 10 credits
It covers immersion courses on current issues, seminars, workshops and interaction with industry experts.
In the first two semesters, students get inputs on the basic areas such as Financial Accounting, Financial Management, Corporate Laws, Statistics, Economics, Research Methodology, MIS, Quantitative Techniques, and many more. These core courses set the foundation for more advanced courses such as Project Planning, Appraisal and Finance, Behavioral Finance, Financial Modeling, Business Analytics, Corporate Tax Planning, and so on.
In the fourth-semester students will be required to opt for the electives of their choice. Currently, two sets of elective specializations are ‘Banking and Insurance’, and ‘Finance’, out of which each student will have to select one.
While the program covers a wide range of courses, 'finance’ remains the main focus area.
The knowledge base of the students also gets further strengthened by summer projects, immersion courses on current issues, seminars, workshops and interaction with industry experts.
There are various leadership talks and conclaves organized by InfinX, the functional committee of the MBF program

The course is a good option for the qualitative development of an individual, and details regarding placements and internships can be checked from the official website.

Is XUB different from XIMB? What is the fee structure for XUB and placements?

Shivam PutraFormer Consultant at KPMG (2019–2021)

XUB is not exactly different from XIMB. XUB comprises more schools like

school of commerce
school of mass communication
school of economics and sustainability development

In addition there are several PG courses like MBF and it now even offers graduation in Science. Despite the variety of courses offered, the primary focus is MBA. While at XIMB the only course offered is MBA.

Both the campuses are well built far from the city saving them from hectic city traffic. XUM still has some buildings under construction. Excellent food and transport facilities make them a more attractive choice.

Of the two, XIMB was established earlier so enjoys more brand name and value than XUB. XIMB value can be determined through All India Rankings which is not possible in the case of XUB.

What is your review of Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB), Bhubaneswar? Is it worth doing an MBA from this institute? What are its placements like?

Santanu GanguliMBA in Mark, Fin and Sys Business Management, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2019)

My friend was a student at XIMB and all the points mentioned below are based on his experience at XIMB.

Location: Located at the center of the city, no commute difficulties are posed and you can access all off-campus facilities with ease. But the new campus is a bit far from the city and is bigger. Both campuses have world-class facilities.
Campus Life: Life at XIMB is rigorous and lively and you will always be occupied with classes, committee elections, quizzes, case study competitions, cultural events, and guest lectures. But this rigor will help you learn time management. Nightlife on campus is exciting as a number of exciting things take place at night
Friendships: Every good college experience requires a good group of friends without which your survival might become more difficult. This friendship will stay with you throughout the year.
Hostel: The hostel life is thrilling and you will develop an affinity for your Hostel and your Hostel Block will become your pride and identity.
Faculty: The faculty reside within the campus and are some of the best in the country.
Case Study Competitions: You can participate in all the major case study competitions to portray your business problem-solving skills.
Xpressions: This event is in the limelight of the Institute as it showcases what XIMB actually is. The event welcomes some of the top celebrities and gives an exciting experience.
Placements: Placements are at level with the top 20 colleges. XIMB maintains a decent placement record over years. Recently, the institute released its 2022 placement report. According to the report, the highest salary, average salary & median salary increased by nearly 34.2%, 15.78% & 17.9% respectively as compared to the previous year. The highest salary offered was INR 32.21 LPA & average salary stood at INR 17.54 LPA. The median salary offered was INR 17.10 LPA.

Life at XIMB will give you an abundance of memories and knowledge about yourself, life and competitions. Make the best of those 2 years and try to be involved in every possible activity as you won’t get to relive these days and get back those days again.

Is It worth to join B schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB whose fees are around 20 lakhs if I have calls from reputed government colleges on par with these?

Suntonu BasuProfessor of Finance at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2015-present)

Before I talk about the worth of private B Schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB, let’s consider their average packages.

B School	Average Package
IMT	INR 17.35 LPA
IMI Delhi	INR 17.01 LPA
XIMB	INR 20 LPA

The average package of government colleges like IITs and DSE is slightly less around INR 10.57 LPA. So the point is if you are ready to invest a hefty amount in B Schools, you will not regret the decision as they are game changers. The level of exposure and diversity is almost higher than in Government colleges. IITs, DFS and DSE MBAs have a more theoretical approach than a practical one. However, the figures for private B schools are inflated so do consider the ups and downs.

IITs are best for operations and manufacturing industries
IMT or XIMB is a good option for Marketing
DFS or IMI are best suited for Finance
XIMB or DSE are best for HR

The final decision is up to you. Try to find what exactly you want from MBA

If you are looking for the IIT tag, then IIT
If you are after ROI or PhD then DSE or DFS
If you want to climb the corporate ladder, XIMB is the best

Make a well-informed decision after proper research.

Which course is better HRM or BM from XIMB?

Ansuman PandaMBA in Marketing & Finance, International Management Institute (Graduated 2008)

To begin with, let me tell you that XIMB offers MBA-BM whereas XAHR offers MBA-HRM. XAHR or Xaviers School of Human Resource Management was started after the immense success of the HRM program of XIMB.

Now coming to your question, the program you choose will be an important factor in shaping your career so it should be based on your inclinations. Get a clear idea of the various arenas and specializations of Management and the required skills. Both the courses deal with very important elements of Management but HRM specifically deals with the primary asset of any company, The employees.

BM offers an MBA in various fields like

Finance
Sales and Marketing
Operations
Consulting
General Management

Each of these specializations have its own pros and cons. For instance, if you are into number crunching, operation management, and market mapping, then BM is a good choice for you. You can get further details of the course on the official website. Analyze what course and why attracts you the most and make an informed decision. So only you can decide which course to take as this is a subjective question based solely on your personal preference.
