Hello Guys,

This is Ramnarayan from chennai.I have also been offered a confirmed admit at XIMB and have duly paid the first instlmnt.I received a receipt from them yesterday for the same.Maybe you guys would have also got it or are in the process of getting it.

Ever since XIMB came out with the results, a few enthusiasts have started a yahoo group, [email protected] , where in we have been exchanging news abt the instt as well as abt each other on a regular basis with a lot of inputs from people who are currently at XIMB and people who were at XIMB.

If you are interested in subscribing to the above group please send a mail to [email protected]

With Regards,
Ramnarayan.

P.S:The enthusiasm of the group can be realised by the 88 posts in the yahoo group since it was started arnd the last week of March.

sriram

Hi.....
well great query......
strengths: its students (among the best in XAT).....its faculty........the Xavier association and various industrial linkages......also....our Alumni (placed in gud cos....various countries)...various cos....have rated the student quality to be real gud....and also course coverage and flexibility is excellent......

weakness: lack of awareness (or misconception) about XIMB mostly in north india......among prospective students

profs: they r real gud......u can judge from the profile.....they have adequate industrial experience and also.......do a lot of consultancy for the government and various cos.....in orissa and around the country also......plus profs also teach in
foreign countries......

placements: there was a detailed info given by snprabhu......he is the placecom coord...the rite person to give info.... placements were reral gud.....

hostel: individual rooms.......for guys quite small........but then u will get used to it......(and as such room mein rehta kaun hai zyada) :biggrin:

Environment: wat do u wanna kno...orissa ka environment ya campus ka......orissa is i wud say comin from north india.....i liked the climate here........thheek hai din mein garam ho jaata hai...but evenings r real cool.....and mostly rainy.......love dat..........den...as for life......wanna go out to eat many places to eat around the campus..........den wanna go to beach....several gud beaches in orissa...and puri beach just 1 and a half hr. away........orissa is fully green :biggrin: ........life will be quite hectic for u guys on campus for detailed info......check snprabhu....he gavea gud rite up on life at XIMB.......

any further queries....do address it here.....
ciao,

hey gaurav, since we have two months time before the course starts - any suggestions how to spend time constructively? - any particular mgmt books/websites?

also, what will be config of the PC that will be given? I can get CD writer and speakers. I hope that's ok.

subhash

Yups...
Subhash...u can get CD Writer urself and really loud speakers too....dat wud be gud.....
coz i think dat wudnt be provided...
as for config...mail the insti for the info...
we had P-4 1.8 GHz.....comp....so u shud be gettin better plus we have 40 GB hard disk...mayb dis will be same for uy....and we have 128 DDR....no clue whther u will have same or more.........

well.....since ur new to management...there is a buk...Principles of management by koontz.....(if i can recall perfectly - will check and confirm) its not in course though but a great buk to go thru.......dont buy it...find if u can lay ur hands on it somewhere.......

also.....Levin and Rubin for statistic for management....or somethi like dat is a buk u will require in first term plus thruout the MBA course so keep dat book

a gud book to read and worth purchasin is " what they dont teach u in harvard"start with this title and move on to next part of it......

another book worth readin is Marketing Warfare by Ries and Trout.........but this u can read after joinin....campus.......
i think bahut badi list de di hai......

no point readin.......Kotler abhi se for principles of marketin greta prof...waitin here to teach the fundas........so wait....
but keep a tab on advertisements and general awareness......

u can try out keepin a tab on www.agencyfaqs.com if u wanna be in marketing......

plus for first term.....i wud say start reading basic accountin i think 11th class book......will do....T.S. Grewal....assuming most of the people here r engineers and from non commerce background......

Hi Alka,

Its Satyen here. I have joined the Ximb. Nice to know that, I have got so many friends who are already in touch with each other.

Well, let me intro myself. I am a BTech. Comp. Sc. engineer who has got 1 yr. exp. in Knoah Solutions pvt. ltd. in hyd.

I basically belong to orissa. I love the ximb because few of my batch mates are already passed out from there.

I love listening to rock music and reading novels.... Looking forward to meet all of u when the class begins. I have got my receipt of the installment.

The hostel is going to the alloted on 15th of june. So, we guys are getting 2 days before registration to meet and enjoy.

Satyen

Hie Everyone

Well looks like we have some very serious ppl amogst us
who want to study even during this 2 months break
hey u enjoy ur time now..cause once we are on the campus
i m sure we wont have free time

i have joined the yahoogroup..
but somehow i feel there are many ppl who are not XIMBAINS
so maybe we can make a new group..when we reach college

hey what r u all planning to specialise in?
i understand there is not like specialisation...but only electives..
still...we should have an area in mind

And yes, I had enquired abt the receipt on this site...
i had mail XIMB and got a reply from them that the receipt is on the way

so most of us planning to be on the campus by 15th?
even i m planning to reach there by 15th

BTW..does anyone know what is the procedure for hostel allotment?
is it on first come first serve basis?

chalo..bye from me now..
hoping for some more posts by our batchmates
