Why and How I chose XIMB - Anurag Mohanty
Being a resident of Bhubaneswar, I grew up in the vicinity of XIMB. XIMB was 10 years older to me, yet we grew up together, honing ourselves every step of the way and trying to make a difference. As a kid, I’d pass through the road overlooking the campus and be amazed at the success stories my dad would often iterate about the XIMB alumni, some of whom happened to be his friends. Since its inception, the college had conveniently managed to woo the masses in this quiet city of Bhubaneswar and the state of Odisha, slowly garnering national recognition. But there was this mysterious veil surrounding the college which has always intrigued me. No one ever seemed to know about what goes about inside the college and the students were hardly seen futzing around the city. The only source of information was through the social media and news channels that talked about various achievements and accolades the college received. This conditioned me to place the college on a high moral pedestal and I desperately wanted to be a part of it.
