Admission:

Getting into a top b school is a dream for many but due to tremendously increasing competition only few are able to achieve it. Despite of working so hard for the CAT and other entrance exams i struggled a lot to get into a good b school. XIME was also in my list as XIME has successfully established itself as a good brand and known for good placements. Based on my CMAT score i got waitlisted here and i was so afraid because there were not many options left for me. But finally just four days before the inauguration i got the offer letter and now it's been half a year since i am in XIME kochi. The opportunities here are endless. Apart from competitive peers, Harvard case studies, and industry exposure, you'll get to participate in lot of outside events, competitions and management fests. XIME through its curriculum and great faculty support bring a great learning and transformative environment. XIME has three branches, the main one is in Bangalore, and others are in Kochi and Chennai. The same curriculum is followed across the three campuses. The college offers various specializations such as finance, marketing, HR, Business Analytics and Operations. To know the eligibility criteria just visit their official website. Typically, you require at least 55% marks in Graduation and the exams that are accepted here include CAT, XAT, CMAT, etc.

Admission:

The admission process was a three-step procedure. You need to take one entrance exam either CAT/MAT/CMAT/XAT and get a score of at least 75 percent to fill out the XIME form. Once you fill out the form which you can find on the website of XIME Kochi you will be asked to attend GD and PI which was held online for us. If you can clear the GDPI, you will get a provisional admission mail that will give you the details about what to do next. There are no reservation benefits you will get in the whole procedure. I feel that the admission process was smooth the time I gave my interview and group discussion.

Admission:

The admission process was a smooth one. I got into this college through CAT. There is a GDPI round which is conducted offline and online as well (you can choose either of these), I chose the online mode. The PI round felt more like a conversation, it made me relaxed during the interview. Application form can easily be found on the college's website.
