About
The Xavier Institute of Management, long known as XIMB, is now the business school of XIM University, so its flagship is a two-year MBA degree rather than a PGDM. It runs MBA (Business Management) and MBA (Human Resource Management) from a fully residential campus at Harirajpur in Puri district, about an hour from Bhubaneswar.
There are four entry routes: XAT, CAT, GMAT and the university's own XGMT, held in mid-January. Shortlisted candidates may take a group discussion, a writing test and an interview, and final selection also looks at academics and work experience. XIM does not publish its weights.
The fee page lists the course fee, development fund, materials and other charges separately, with hostel room and board paid on top; the latest table is for 2026–28 and is marked indicative until the offer letter.
The official 2024–26 placement report could not be read, so placements are not shown here yet. Check the 2027–29 fee and intake on the XIM site before applying.
