Dear Prospective Students, Greetings of joy and hope from XIM University! I welcome you to make XIM University your alma mater as you continue on this life-long journey of learning and development. The University owes its origin from the rich Jesuit legacy of more than two centuries of providing high-quality education to the world across the globe. Established in 1987 as Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar, XIM University is today known across India and abroad as an inter-disciplinary educational institution of excellence with an international insight and global perspective. With two world-class campuses and state-of-art infrastructure with cutting- edge technology, thirteen Schools, with internationally-acclaimed faculty and an active industry interface, the University provides the best platform for a rich teaching-learning experience. We are blessed with thousands of alumni across the globe building innovation and creativity through entrepreneurship, corporate and social development of the highest standards. You will find this University that spends its time and resources on nurturing wise and deeply knowledgeable faculty, a dedicated staff team, world- class digital and non-digital resources, cutting-edge multimedia classroom environment, an industry-aligned academic curriculum, engaging pedagogy and a vibrant student placement opportunity. Supplemented with wide-ranging extra-curricular and sports facilities, it provides the perfect opportunity for students to enjoy a balanced mind-body enrichment. We are inspired by the Spirit of “Magis”. Magis (pronounced “màh-gis”) is a Latin word that means “more” or “greater”. It is related to ad majorem Dei gloriam, a Latin phrase meaning “for the greater glory of God”, the motto of the Society of Jesus to which we belong as Jesuits. As a University, we work towards the greater glory for the mankind and with blessings of God strive for the academic and intellectual growth of our students, that again stems from the value of perseverance, courage and humility. I am hopeful you will consider XIM University as your home in your pursuit for knowledge, education and value- addition to becoming a better and a more conscientious person and citizen. God be with you.
