The roller-coaster of life signaled XUBALAND (nick name for XAHR campus), after a yearlong of submissions in openings for b-schools and a hell lot of preparations. Secretly, I had lost my heart to this place way earlier, during a visit for one of their annual events. I knew I belonged here in an all different world which instills a sense of confidence to mend my future, a peaceful calmness lies beneath all the hurly burly crowd which marches past by me.
This 55 acre of campus in the outskirts of Bhubaneswar is a land lined with greenery and ever beautiful infrastructure and other facilities. One can see the big shinning logo from a distance which indicates the legacy we have built from the past 30 years.The gate gives away to a whole new universe of knowledge, prevalent aura, confidence and an outlook towards a better life. I have been with an organization but the kind of diversity I have seen, in knowledge, way of thinking, is one of a kind. My initial days in XAHR was typically the same as it is in any other business school with orientations, presentations and assignment submissions but what I realized during this time is to utilize each minute so that you feel that you have learnt something or you are a little closer to your goal.
Life at a B-school is all about striking the perfect balance between Learning (including peer learning) & enjoying (participate in everything which comes your way). The hectic schedule actually brings out the best of a student. XAHR has so much to offer apart from the amazing teachers, learning opportunities, beautiful campus life and amazing job opportunities. I, therefore, look forward to learning from the bests, to maximize my sphere of knowledge and to be the extended part of this great legacy.
