Xuberance 2006: Fight of a Warrior
Lateral Placements at XIM, Bhubaneswar
Two grueling years. Countless deadlines. Varied emotions, from exasperation to frustration. Small victories and big losses. Well, if you think that this is some mumbo-jumbo of a nerd, then kindly beware. What I have just told you all is nothing but the life of a warrior. One who has the sole purpose to fight and to conquer. To help the army of which he is an important part, march on to relinquish the enemy. And everything that hardens his soul, the unshakeable spirit and the battle hardy physique, is learnt not in the confines of the house but in the training grounds.

If we consider today's world, then the greatest battle of all is the battle of occupying a consumer's mind. And the warriors are none other than the managers, the corporate bigwigs, the modern day Shahs and Sultans of warfare. And such an army is not something, which happens by chance. The choicest people, the ones who prove their mettle, are allowed to rub shoulders with each other and this is done at places none other than B-schools. Once the warriors are groomed, the managers who have been given a glimpse of the war that they are supposed to fight, they are officially absorbed in the corporate armies. And that's the day that any B-school student waits for with bated breath. The Placement Day.

Day 1 Placements for XIMB started today (7th January 2006) for the batch of 2004-2006. Placements for Laterals had already been finished before the above-mentioned date, a fact oft-repeated by the term Day 0 (Zero).

The details for the Lateral Placements are as under:
Companies, which recruited laterals, were ATOS Origin, JP Morgan, E&Y, McKc, Mindtree Consulting, GenPact, Accenture, ITC Infotech, HP, IBM, Infosys, TCS, iGATE, Wipro Technologies, Progeon, PCS and many more... They gave in a total of 85 offers. The major recruiters for laterals have been Infosys with 8 offers, TCS with 5 and Wipro with 9. The important fact to notice is that these figures do not include the number of Pre-Placement Offers / Interviews (PPOs and PPIs) which amount to 20. The highest international salary package was provided by OLAM International.

The process for recruiting freshers is underway and the same shall be informed as and when live updates come. Hence, we just have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for the same till evening.

Xuberance 2006-News as it happens!!

It is often said that “History repeats itself”. However, rarely does one get to see a practical example of the same. The students of XIMB got the rare opportunity….indeed, the opportunity of a lifetime…..to witness history repeating itself. Just one year ago, on the 8th of January, 2005, the nation watched as the students of the batch of 2005 at XIMB made themselves and their institute proud by achieving 100 percent placements within a span of just a few hours.
So unbelievable was the experience that few believed that it could ever be replicated. But they were wrong. The batch of 2006 went a few notches above their predecessors by achieving 100% placements on day 1 itself, and was part of the record-breaking experience that was Xuberance, 2006. The amazing performance of the lateral candidates in Xuberance 2006 was matched at every stage by the freshers, who were no less breathtaking in their show.
While the exact numbers are yet to be arrived at, the preliminary calculations yield the following results. A total of 202 offers were made for 121 candidates, yielding an average of 1.67 offers per candidate. The highest domestic salary of 9 lacs per annum was offered by ATOS Origin. *The average domestic salary this time is expected to be around 6.95 lacs per annum, and the exact figures will be available shortly. On the international scene, OLAM International made the highest offers of $85000 per annum. The companies which made their presence felt on campus for the first time were ATOS Origin, Mindtree Consulting, OLAM International, Ernst and Young, IBM, and Cargill Foods among many others.
The first year students of XIMB have been matching their seniors step by step, what with the summer placement process at XIMB going on as smoothly as ever. With well-known companies like Walt Disney, United Bank of Switzerland, and PwC gracing the campus, the sun surely seems to be shining on Xavier Square, Bhubaneswar.
While it may appear now that such a performance will be difficult to replicate, if we go by past record, placements at XIMB are likely to get better and better as the years go by. Only time will tell.
