Hi,

In the area of SYSTEMS, i can bet that XIMB is one of the best B-Schools in India. The faculty and the infrastructure are make the courses in this stream a bit advanced than what other b-schools have to offer. One of the profs (Dr. G.K.Nayak) has his unique way of teaching which makes the course all the more interesting and knowledge-gaining. All the faculty members for the systems course have a good industry experience and so the practical aspects are taken care of. XIMB is under a tie-up with SAP (University Allicance Programme) whereby our we have a direct link with SAP's servers for ERP. Regarding placements, all the top-notch IT Companies come to our campus. (Infy, TCS & Satyam are in the vicinity of the campus). Accenture, IBM, Covansys, Wipro, Mindtree are the ones which provide large no. of offers (apart from Infy, TCS & Wipro).

For Finance, Dr. D.V.Ramana & Dr.Banikant are two people who teach across the globe. Dr.Bani is also a faculty at the Stern School of Business and the course he teaches at XIMB and Stern is just the same. Though, in Term-2 a few students faced some prob in understanding the Cost & Management Accounting course coz the course instructor was a visiting faculty. But now a new faculty has been recruited for this area also. So, we hope that the next batch would not face the difficulty which our batch did.
Placements are quite okay in finance (not as good as in systems) coz previously not too many students coming to XIMB majored in Fin. But for the past 3-4 years, the trend has been changing and a lot of students are interested in Fin. So the quality of profiles offered is also improving.

Thanks Vits for that detailed overview or the things. It certainly has made things pretty clear in terms of the courses to be opted at XIMB. I hope to crack into XIMB systems with a good XAT performance. Thanks again!!!

XIMB sent me their Bulletin 2007 within 6 days after I sent the SBI slip... Is this equivalent to an acknowledgement? The envelope had only the bulletin, nothing else...

The acknowledgement of payment is sent thru e-mail. However, due to some technical glitch you might not have recd. the email.

The Bulletin is dispatched only after the receipt of the payment. So, it is deemed that your payment has been received. 😃

Arre Madam, where do these Sys. & Fin. cutoffs come in dear???? It's a general MBA course and you specialize in second year, there will be only one cutoff for the entire batch (Excluding Orissa doms.). So just get on with your prep.

cannot say anything abt the actual scores...coz its very difficult to determine the cut-off scores in XAT (u do not get the question paper back)..

the other part has been answered by Scorpion_19!

yes, there are sectionwise cut-offs for XIMB...so even if you screw in one of the sections, your chances for getting a call are negligible...

anyway, i dont think you would be able to get the overall cut-off (%ile) after getting a score of ZERO in any of the sections 😁

cannot really say anything about the scores, dear...

scores cannot be determined coz XAT Question Booklets need to be submitted at the Exam Centre itself...hence, the questions and their solutions are not available..
161
Wishing all XAT Candidates Good Luck for 2morrow on behalf of the entire student community of XIMB! :)

HEY Vits..i must say u have done a commendable job..got a lot of info by going thru the posts..what i feel is of paramount importance is,the target shud be to go and write a good exam tomorrow(if only i can practice wat i preach),and keep cool throughout.we can all worry abt percentiles and stuff later..and its well known that XIMB,like any other premier b-school,will have its own set of cut-offs.wish all fellow puys all the best for a good performance tomorrow.
