Why I Chose XIMB - Prayaag Kumar

Why I Chose XIMB - Prayaag Kumar

It was on a field visit to a village in Odisha when I received a text from a friend to check for the results of XIMB. After a tiring effort to get some network, I was overjoyed to read my admission confirmation into Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar, which we Odias call “Jha-bier” with pride. I grew up in Bhubaneswar and learned about the excellence of XIMB nationwide since childhood from my father. It was now my turn to enter the epitome of greatness, XIMB. Before joining, I set out to explore the plethora of things XIMB could offer.

I have a keen interest in the field of Business Management and desired to hold a leadership position in the corporate world. Doing an MBA from a tier-1 B-School would put my career on fast track and help me realize my dream. Deciding on an institute was not an easy task. After a lot of research, seeking guidance from a few seniors, alumni and a few sleepless nights I finally decided to start a new phase of my life with XIMB.

The Lecture That Got Me Awestruck - IIM Raipur

The Lecture That Got Me Awestruck - IIM Raipur

It was just the first week of our classes in IIM Raipur, when we had just got adjusted to the harsh weather of Raipur and the rainy season had just begun. Well, we thought it was another normal day in our lives when we entered for our classes. And most of us were kind of blown away by the class taken by a finance professor – the way he taught the concepts easily and the practicality with which he explained them – I thought my life couldn’t have been made easier since I was coming from a background which is not usually seen in an IIM ( medical ). Then we had our second session – Operations – where again the Professor taught us by taking real-life examples like going to a hotel or atm. But it was the way he acted in the class while teaching which made it memorable. It was like seeing a ballerina (and it was not a female teacher) mixed with classical dance. Just when we thought that the day couldn’t get any better, we had the post-lunch session which stole the show. The Marketing class by one of our professors was the show stopper. Of course, he used unconventional methods like short skits and role plays to teach some basic concepts.  But later while teaching some of the methods used for marketing, he started singing one of the famous songs from one of the old ads. (Trust me when I say it comes as a shock where you kind of expect the professors to be usually grumpy). Then we had 2 more ad songs by which time we got quite accustomed to it. But as they say, picture abhi baaki tha. He started enacting the role of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan from one of the famous ads of Cadburys and the most usually seen Pulse Polio. And he got into the role so well, that he even said the famous ‘Deenanath Chauhan’ dialogue from Agneepath. Our hands were quite paining from clapping but there wasn’t an end to be seen for the appreciation. Well, we talked to some of the seniors who told that it’s one of the ways he makes us understand the concept easily without making us bored. Finally, when we were wishing that the day would continue, it came to an end. So this was how we had one of the memorable experiences in a b-school and hoping it won’t be the last too.

XIMB: My Kingdom Of Dreams - Susmita Ojha

MBA had always been my dream career even before I had a fair idea of what this course was about and what were its future prospects. I guess it was just the vision of being all dressed up in business formals sitting in a glass skyscraper, breaking through the glass ceiling to become a successful woman in the corporate world, that enticed me towards pursuing this course.

A B-School With A Chapel, Inspiring Futures - XAHR Bhubaneswar

After undergoing a grueling preparation schedule for MBA entrance examinations along with my job with Wipro and finally converting the Prestigious Xavier School of Human Resource Management (XAHR), I heaved a sigh of relief, because this was not just any other B-school, but one of the top 5 finest Human Resource Management institutes in India. In my quest to be a leading People manager, I entered the majestic campus of Xavier University Bhubaneswar (XUB) on 18th June 2018 and to my right, I found a Chapel.
