XISS: post your queries here

MBA
637
Don't go after PM, RD, Marketing, Finance or IM by just their names....

If you are interested, then attend the GD/PI process, follow your heart...what you want to do ahead with the qualification, how you are going to face the company interviews... on-campus or off-campus is a secondary issue..so DONT go just by the facts and figures.. if you are capable then there's no one stopping you, and you will succeed...

Issues regarding faculties, placements are existing in every college, every department..if you are interested in taking up any course, if you have the zeal to pursue it..then just do it..and stop believing in grapevine



I am not getting whether u r asking me to go for XISS or not and whether u r suggesting me that finance mkt etc are not good courses?

I want some real and steady answers not some diplomatic and philosophical answers because its cut throat competition out there in WORLD so i need a good backing and launching pad.

Is XISS really a part of Xaviers (like XLRI & XIMB)? XIME is not a part of Xaviers though it uses the name, so I think the same with XISS. Can the seniors confirm this?

If you need a launching pad then i would recommend you go for other colleges
XISS is not meant for launching unless the student is not upto the standards

Placements were approximately 30% (xcept RD where it's still going on till date and usually it is 100%), companies visits campus (e.g. for PM there were L&T;, TATA STEEL, Vedanta, for marketing & finance: SBI-LIFE, Mahindra finance, Colgate & Palmolive, Raymonds,etc.) but the student need to perform...sadly the batch is not upto the standard to meet 100%, blame it whoever: the rules,policies of the insti, or seat bookings..whatever.. as i find in the discussions

but you will not find flashy advertises that'll cloud your thoughts regarding placements, as it happens with most other colleges. the fees is pretty decent, the city and culture around here is not upto metro standards, but pretty decent. So if you're looking for industry exposure similar like mumbai, bangalore, delhi...., then sorry you won't get that in ranchi.
The college is 55 yrs old, the same XLRI sister concern, so it has a very good brand image in the industry.

You did consider my opinion off topic, that's really appreciable. i hope you better continue preparing for the GD/PI because the professors are smart people with more than 15-20yrs of industry experiences..so process won't be too easy. I don't know your percentile in XAT, but people with over 95 percentile, with SC/ST category, have been rejected in the interviews.If you've managed more than 75%, with good communication skills.. i think you have a very good chance to clear.

I will always recommend you to go for XISS, for any of the courses you want to pursue. If you want to do MBA for an on-campus placement only, i'm sure XISS is not the platform, because the placement stats clearly suggests. So before u get rejected in the interview, don't attend it, because if the interviewers sense your intentions about MBA, then it'd be worthless spending the day here. As you stated: "its cut throat competition out there in WORLD" .. believe me, it's even more to get selected in the insti.

Hey I meant no offense all I wanted a real truthful insight opinion.I know MBA is for overall development and am also not just looking after placements its just that GOOD placement is a strong criteria about college reputation.Even XLRI and XIMB are located in Jamshedpur and Bhubneshwar resp. but still are among top colleges of India so it doesn't matter inst. is in a metro or little lesser known city.


every so called MBA school give diplomatic replies about its Inst. and give explanation like MBA depends upon students capability etc etc.rather than taking onus on their own.

ALL I want is good teachers,good learning environment and good MBA.

Can anyone clear some doubts XISS?I have been calling them endlessly but they are not picking up phone and neither replying through email.
I have been called for GD/PI on 6 April

1.I have filled form for two courses so will I have to go through two GD/PIs?
2.Can i change my GD/PI date as I am not getting reservation?
3.Does XISS conduct its GD/PI at any other place than Ranchi?


abt the venue- no the venue is only ranchi.
abt the change of dates- well i think i was really lucky...my gd date was on 7th april. i called them..they picked up in one shot!!! i requested to change it to 12th(last slot). they asked me the reason....i told and they agreed!!..all they told me was to come on 12th n speak to the admission coordinator....
so keep trying...date toh definitely change ho jayega
650
i am from jharkhand,so know a few thing about it...

1st thing,try calling them around 10:30 am-11:15 am...the probability of your call being attended will be highest at that point of time...

as of change in dates are concerned,i am also facing similar problems,XISS officials told me to write an application in the name of director,XISS...he willtry to see through the matter & may change the date...

hope it helps..

it will surely be changed.. i called them to change my date from 7th to 12th and they obliged!!
