Which is better to opt for, XIMB RM or XISS Finance?

SM
Shreya Manna Posted On : June 9th, 2021
MBA-Rural Management, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2017)

According to my friends studying at XIMB RM, the college is not called XIMB RM anymore. The last batch to pass from the college with this college name was the 2015-2017 batch. It has been renamed to Xavier School of Rural Management (XSRM) under the umbrella of Xavier University, Bhubaneshwar.

  • This split has not had any impact on the branding.
  • If you are concerned with the quality of education and faculty, let me assure you that those have remained the same.
  • When it comes to rural management, you should know that it is more like a product differentiation from an actual MBA.
  • It is also often known as an MBA+ where you will get to explore and gain knowledge on subjects like sociology, development, planning in rural areas and many other fields.
  • This will open up a number of opportunities for you to explore in the development sector which you perhaps would not be able to explore in other MBA courses.
Categories XSRM
Course Fee 13.8 lakh
Highest CTC 13.2 - 17 LPA
Average CTC 8-9 LPA
Recruiting Companies Amul, Godrej Agrovet Limited, ITC Limited, Mapro Foods, ADM Agro Industries, Tolaram Group, etc.

As far as XISS Finance is concerned, you should get in touch with a postgraduate student from that college to get to know more about it. As of now, I would suggest you go for XSRM.

Which one is better, Xiss Ranchi finance or Army Institute of Management, Kolkata for an MBA?

SD
Shubham Dasgupta Posted On : July 7th, 2021
Studied at IIT Kharagpur (2019)

One of my friends studied at XISS, I can share some details about this institution. XISS has still not been able to make its name among the top colleges of India despite being such an old institute.

  • Being an average college, it has average placements and in fact, every student doesn't get placed.
  • You will also find politics and discrimination in XISS among students during the placements.
  • It doesn't provide required exposure to MBA students which is very important for their careers.
  • The campus is very small and there are no hostels available inside the campus.
  • XISS is located in Ranchi which is a disadvantage as the city is not developed and very few facilities available when compared to bigger cities like Delhi, Bangalore, etc.
  • XISS has a reservation system and 50% of the seats are reserved for Christian SC/ST students. Their fees are also lesser than general category students.
  • The students from backward caste comprise almost 70% of the total students in this college.

It will be better to avoid XISS and take admission in other B-schools like Army Institute of Management, Kolkata which might provide better facilities and placement opportunities to its students. Do thorough research before making a decision.
