INCREASING PREFERENCE FOR DUAL COURSE 

MAKES ME GO TECHNICAL AFTER MANAGERIAL.

‘Doing something off the track is always challenging and this was my one sided view too, so far.’

 XAVIER INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SERVICE (XISS)  is an Institute which I came to know from my friends who are the former students of it. I got into it through CMAT with 73.96 percentile. XISS  has changed my thinking and so has my course which is PGDM in Information Technology. Being a BBA Graduate, it was really a tough decision to be made by me whether I should opt for a technical stream or not. But after tasting the technical life, I do not regret my decision. I am happy because I got to learn something which I thought was beyond my capabilities or interest.

XISS not only nurtures our reading, writing, knowledge, communication skills, it’s much more than that, teaching techniques here are irreplaceable and incredible.

Professors are well versed and expert in their styles. Discipline takes another step, being a Jesuit institute, it is a blend of School time and Professional life, and we make our way through it.

Information Technology as a course, has subjects which are theoretical and practical. It seems difficult initially but later with guidance and support, it gets easy. The best part is IT is not rigid to its technicality, curriculum has many other unique ways to make us understand the outside world, social work is another part of it.  People generally talk about spreading awareness but hardly practice it, XISS again proved its difference by making it done from its students, We got an opportunity to become a part of the Nobel cause by organising Blood donation Camp and visiting Central Institute of Psychiatry. It was mark when we were able to see a world that was so different from ours.

All in all, I will conclude XISS do justify being ‘PROFESSION WITH A DIFFERENCE’ and make ‘PROFESSIONAL WITH A DIFFERENCE’.
