PLACEMENT BROCHURE 2010

“He died when he was alive.” ‘Alive’ because he was travelling, exploring, learning, taking risks, chasing dreams…forever. Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’ is a legendary book, a way to be and an illustration of this very philosophy of life.

At Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar’s (XIMB) PGDBM program, ‘The Alchemist’ comes alive every day. In fact, this has been the very essence of the XIMB inspiration. The students make a journey. Then the journey makes them. It initiates and begins to flower at XIMB.

Alchemist (n.) A practitioner of alchemy. Alchemy (n.) An imaginary art which aimed to transmute the baser metals into gold, to find the panacea, or universal remedy for diseases…(n.) A mixed metal composed mainly of brass, formerly used for various utensils (n.) Miraculous power of transmuting something common into something precious. 1

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

A few days back, I was thinking about the 100% placement that XIMB achieved in 2009. I found three primary reasons for this success. The students at XIMB have a strong fundamental understanding of business and its applications not only in theory but in practice. Secondly, they are industry-ready professionals with enormous potential for creativity and innovation. Thirdly, they are “humane managers”, people who manage with a heart for the society and uphold values and ethics which inspires our society to scale greater heights of excellence and prosperity. In the past one year I have had the opportunity to interact with a few recruiters. I found a common feedback, “XIMB students inspire teamwork, excel in performance, are target oriented and have strong ethical standards.” As the Director of this institute, it gives me immense pleasure to know that the talent which graduates from XIMB is not greed driven but value driven. It adds tremendous vitality to the organizations and ensures that this world becomes a better place to live in. It is with great pleasure I welcome you to Xuberance 2010. I am sure that the bright young students at XIMB would deeply impress you with their vision for tomorrow, their talent for today and their ethics forever.

Fr. P T Joseph, SJ Director, XIMB

THE INSTITUTE PLACEMENT BROCHURE 2010

Luck is not found. Luck is made. One can only be amazed, when one’s effort is empowered by the unknown.

XIMB is modelled to support the nuances of its students and their careers. Founded on this deep understanding; it subtly complements and empowers it.

DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP WITH A HUMAN FACE

Learning is more than knowing. XIMB graduates as a part of their program, partner the upliftment -processes of society’s weaker sections. For an XIMB graduate, it’s never just about markets; it’s about the people who make the market, establishing a much deeper grasp over it.

t “There is only one way to learn,” the alchemis answered. “It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.”

Images from left to right: • AIDS awareness campaign by XIMB students • AIDS awareness rally in Bhubaneswar • A day out with the children of ragpickers at Nandankanan Zoo • Prize distribution at the Sports Meet held at Biju Patnaik Open Air Jail • XIMB students distributing reading materials for the flood-affected children in Baliapada

At XIMB, the philosophy has always been learning through doing. This is inculcated from the very beginning of the course. During the 2nd term, students are exposed to a very unique course, Organizational Behaviour-II which consists of executing a socially relevant project. Working in groups, students choose a social problem and workout the milestones towards providing a unique, sustainable solution for it. The initiative serves a dual purpose of teaching the students the importance of teamwork and exposing them to a different life thus providing a humane edge to the leaders of tomorrow. 8

DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP WITH A HUMAN FACE PLACEMENT BROCHURE 2010

The projects undertaken by the group bear a testament to the diversity of the student community at XIMB.

• Providing better healthcare facilities at flood ravaged Betenda village An innovative healthcare model was envisaged and implemented to address the lack of medical facilities in rural Orissa. The model consisted of alliances with urban doctors of various specialities, planning their regular visits to the village and issues of free health services cards to each villagers to access these services. “XIMB health at camp at Betenda village” – The Times of India (7th December, 2008) “XIMB students adopt village to provide better healthcare” – The Pioneer (7th December, 2008)

• XIMB Students build school for underprivileged children. Students sponsored the construction of a school building in a slum near XIMB through personal efforts and channeling of corporate funds. The project also helped in providing vocational training and employment support to Class XIIth passouts through a tie up with Satyam Computers. “The satisfaction and happiness that the project brought about was evident on the faces of schoolchildren and faculty and the XIMB students” – The Pioneer

• Making the visually impaired independent In association with the Orissa Association for the Blind, the project aided the visually impaired in completion of doctorate level studies, by converting the course material into audio format. The same was also done for Govt. rules pertaining to the handicapped. Around 2500 minutes of material was converted into audio format. “Social Responsibility Amongst Future Managers, courtesy XIMB” – Orissadiary.com “I am happy to see the efforts put in by the students of XIMB. This will go a long way in helping the visually impaired” – Mr. Mohan Jena, MP, Jajpur, Orissa

• Flood Relief Venture at 6 villages in Cuttack District In partnership with the Rotary Club, students of XIMB photocopied textbooks, school bags, food, clothing and other stationery to the school children of the flood ravaged villages to enable continuation of their education. “XIMB students provide aid to children in f lood-affected Nischintkoili” – Orissadiary.com

• Bridging the social gap for the inmates of Biju Patnaik open air Jail This project was aimed at analyzing and understanding whether punishment led to actual reformation of the inmates with 10+ years of prison service. By extensive interaction the students were able to give the inmates a view of the outside world thereby reducing any apprehensions that the inmates had about their acceptance back into society “Hate the crime, not the criminal: XIMB students’ initiative” - IndiaInfoline The successful completion of all these socially relevant projects re-emphasizes XIM students’ Motto : “ Be the Change you want to see in the World”

PEDAGOGY If intuition empowers the road-map, what empowers ‘intuition’? Condensed realities as well as possibilities across the world…Intuition is a powerhouse of wisdom. But it’s usually dormant, till one awakens it.

“Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.”

Pedagogy at XIMB is oriented to a student’s ‘sense’ of being and discovery and not to sheer knowledge. At XIMB PGDM, education must evolve to be an instinct.

Apart from regular class-room lectures and case studies, the teaching process is supplemented with seminars, role-plays and group exercises. We also have guest lectures by industry experts in our regular courses to augment the learning process and lend a different perspective. Another unique feature is the immersion courses offered which cater to specific needs of the industry. Live Projects form an indispensable part of the pedagogy, with the emphasis on implementation of the concepts in the real world business scenario. Apart from projects done as part of a course, students take up independent research projects under the guidance of a professor in the area of their interest. State-of-the-art IT infrastructure, and access to a plethora of databases available on the intranet, complement the wholesome learning experience of the students. Running parallel to the academic curriculum is a foundational course on Emotional Quotient & Leadership which dwells upon developing authentic humanistic leadership style, where people feel meaningfully connected to the leader, and thus will offer support even under the most stressful conditions. The course creates an understanding of emotional intelligence competencies among the students, allowing them to make a significant impact on their business and personal lives.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS Global Managers

As India opens up to a global existence, business schools across the country are continuously facing the challenge of nurturing ‘global’ managers who can take forward the rapid foray made by Indian businesses. XIMB has long championed the cause of management education with an international outlook. Over the years, the Institute has consciously worked towards creating a unique learning experience so as to expose its student community to the diversity in culture and add to the peer learning experience. This multi-cultural learning environment helps create open-minded, culturally-sensitive managers who could feel at home anywhere in the world.

In the past years, students from XIMB have also participated in a number of international symposiums and competitions including, the Rubicon Contest, Germany, the 17th EBS Symposium, Germany, the 12th European Management Conference, Paris, the Harvard College Asian Business Forum (HCABF), Mumbai, the 11th International Youth Leadership Conference, Prague and the U8 Summit, U.K. This escalated degree of international exposure gives an added impetus to the strong thought-provoking academic culture at XIMB. The Institute recognizes how imperative this is and is therefore committed to expand the scope of its current international associations.

In the last academic year, we had 10% of our students going for exchange program in the 5th term. Also, we had 15 exchange students from our partner institutes coming to XIMB. Further, to facilitate and strengthen the exchange process XIMB has a dedicated International Relations Center (IRC), which acts as XIMB’s interface with the world abroad.

Final Placements

companies are allotted day and time slots during which they can commence the recruitment process.

PRE PLACEMENT TALK (PPTS) Over the years PPTs have been a standard practice to facilitate the company student interaction. PPTs give the corporate an opportunity to present their organization and an opportunity for the student community to learn about the prospects that lie ahead. Standard audio visual facilities, LCD projector, overhead projector (OHP) and TV/VCR and any other special equipment can be made available on campus on request. The campus also has Video Conferencing Facilities. Dates for the PPTs can be obtained from the Placement Office. Distribution of brochures, annual reports, product samples and souvenirs are some of the methods used by companies to enhance brand awareness among the students.

CURRICULUM VITAE The Institute has a standard format which the students use for applying to various companies. A company can request the CVs in the Institute’s format or any other specific format, in hard or soft copies as desired.

LATERAL AND FRESHER RECRUITMENT Both the Lateral and Fresher Recruitment Processes would run simultaneously during the Placement Week. The students rank the companies based on their prior knowledge and the information gained through PPTs. Based on these rankings, the participating

PRE PLACEMENT OFFERS (PPOS) Of late more and more companies are offering PPOs to summer interns. An exposure of 8 weeks gives both the organization and the student an opportunity to gauge each other’s compatibility. Companies could, therefore, consider PPOs and communicate this decision to the Institute before the Placement Week commences. In the event that the company does not have any internal rules governing this process, the students’ decision however, will be communicated to the company either after the Placement Week is over or at its assigned time slot during the Placement Week.

JOB OFFERS A job offer will be considered as valid only if the Placement Office is in receipt of the written communication of the same. Verbal or telephonic offers do not qualify as job offers. Final job offers will be announced to the students only at the allotted day/time slots. Delays in announcing the offers may result in selected candidates being placed in other companies. Appointment letters of the selected students must be sent (in duplicate) to the Placement Office within 20 days of the job offers made on campus. Acceptance signed by the concerned student shall be informed to the companies.
