On XIMB Campus And What It Stands For
Ever since I joined this b-school, I was a bit sceptical, since, like most people applying for CAT, I wanted to land up into the IIM territory. However, making peace with my ambitions, I joined XIMB. And thus began a journey that I had never contemplated. XIMB provides you with a platform where you get to explore yourself and showcase your skills & talents at the highest level and get better. The one thing that sets apart XIMB from other b-schools is its wide spectrum of student activities and its rich array of cultural activities. Despite the rigorous academic schedule, the zeal with which student activities take place in the campus is appalling. Cultural events are staged frequently, where all students, get an opportunity to showcase the talent which usually remains unravelled in the pursuit of landing up a job. The rich sporting culture that XIMB exhibits are second to none. Every other day, people can be seen dribbling in basketball courts till 4 am. This not only enhances the bond between the students but also instils a sense of sportsmanship which is essential in this business. Students here are quite participative in the numerous competitions held at the campus, thus enhancing their acumen for corporate knowledge and analytical skills. The Management-Cultural fest organized by the institute is arguably the biggest extravaganza of b-schools in the Eastern region. Indulging in these student activities provides one a holistic perspective of all the work that goes into organizing and managing an event. It makes us work as a team to achieve a specific goal, which is perhaps the most important pre-requisite for a successful stint in the corporate world. The enthusiasm displayed in all these activities by the students is quite encouraging and also exhibits the importance of extra-curricular activities in shaping up one’s personality in the eyes of the students. Hence, student activities and the various committees functioning actively form an integral aspect of what XIMB stands for.
