      Academics

      I studied MBA in Rural Management from here during 2003-05. I found the quality of teaching exceptional as various qualified professors use various modern techniques, case-studies, immersion programme and group-discussion to keep all students engaged. The curriculum is reviewed every year and updated as per the requirements from industry. The courses taught here prepare students to take up various professional paths and challenges in future.

      College Infra

      The institute has superb infrastructure and facilities on for students, Professors and non-teaching staff as well. It has all the modern classrooms, conference rooms, a vibrant and resourceful library with both online and offline resources. There are separate hostels with dedicated messing/food facilities for boys and girls. The spacious campus and facilities help students to have a very comfortable stay on campus. Various sports facilities and a gymnasium are located on campus.

      Campus Life

      Campus life was extremely vibrant as it provided facilities for various recreational and sports-related activities. The institute is located in a very convenient location at Bhubaneswar. Most of the Professors stay inside the campus. It has dedicated basic medical facilities and is networked with all premier hospitals in Bhubaneswar. Students organise various cultural activities, annual festivals and alumni homecoming. Students enjoy their stay here for two years.

      Placements

      The institute has got the track record of 100% placements for last few decades. The placement cell consists of dedicated professors and students, who work on this round the year. Vibrant alumni chapters across the world support the placement process of the institution. When I passed out in 2005, we had median salary of approximately Rs 7 Laks per annum. Over a period of almost two decades, this has gone upto Rs 14 Lakhs per annum.

      Value For Money

      Studying at this institute is definitely value-for-money as experienced professors prepare students for the challenging future. The campus provides equal opportunities for both academic and non-academic. During 2003-05, I spent approximately Rs 5 Lakhs for entire duration including both course fees and hostel expenses. Now, I think the overall cost for two years has gone upto Rs 15 Lakhs.

      Academically Xavier is great. Strict with the rules and regulations. You need to submit your assignments, presentations, projects and other co-curricular activities on time to grasp the score that you deserve.

      College Infra

      Infrastructure could be more better especially the academic block with much more cleaner rooms, boards, chairs. College infrastructure is bit old fashioned from inside according to me which if gets renovated would look much more better.

      Campus Life

      Great atmosphere, logically thinking faculties, friendly nature kids only if you belong to some particular friend circles. To be very honest it depends upon the student. A student who wants to excel academically if he/she focuses on that properly Xavier would provide you one of the best campus life out there.

      Placements

      The Placement Cells knows its job properly. As before the completion of the academic session the students are provided with the opportunities to get themselves involved into their top tier MNCs and other firms and companies.

      Value For Money

      Academically yes it is. But considering the facilities it could improve a bit. Students should not be faced with any kind of issues considering the fact that you’re charging enough to support the students in each and every way.
