There was happiness, excitement and curiosity on our faces, and in our spirits too. Today after a year, when we look around, on the corridors, inside the cafeteria, people bustling around. We feel like our feelings from a year before has transformed into seventy-five new faces. Finally, the time has arrived to welcome the new batch officially on the fresher’s day. The baton has to be passed on and that too in style.

XISS Nurtures

The XISS Difference

Because XISS “Nurtures professionals with a Difference”.

“You cannot shine like a star until you dream with the blazing passion of the night.”

Every day starts with a dream. A dream is the source of inspiration that keeps you passionate about your future. As said by our former president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, that dreams are not what you see in sleep rather something that keeps you awake and inspires to achieve your goals. I also dreamt of coming to XISS and with the hard work, dedication and the support of my family I made it to this B-school.

As a B-Tech in Electronics and Communication, when I thought of pursuing MBA, my mind was totally focused and dedicated to XISS. XISS has been a source of continuous growth with its unparalleled social values and its unceasing success. Be it social service or academics XISS has always given wings and sky to everyone associated with tithe values that are the grass roots of this organization keeps its head held high keeps growing as an organization. The mission and vision of XISS keeps you galvanized towards your goal of becoming a ‘Professional with a Difference’.

Getting into XISS is certainly not a cake-walk. When you dream big you have to give your maximum efforts. With every step I took I was coming closer to my dream B-School. Filling the form brought into me the energy to prepare for the entrance and all the forthcoming processes after the exam. The preparations for GD and PI also went together. Going through the newspapers, topics and articles, discussing with other aspirants and continuously practicing as if nothing else existed. Sitting in a group of people preparing and delivering on my GD topics brought the best in me and it certainly helped a lot. The contentment I got after my Selection Process made me more confident for my choice. The environment at XISS Campus added to my thought of being in here will be the best direction for a brighter future.

And.. everything became reality when the results were declared and I got the golden opportunity to be a Xaverian for life. You feel so blessed when all your hard work pays you back.

My first day in XISS was a great experience understanding the core values and its nature. All our mentors addressed us and welcomed us to be a part of this renowned institute. Their guidance will groom and nurture us in the best way.

All of us do not have equal talents but all of us have the equal opportunity to develop our talents. XISS gives us numerous opportunities and a lifetime experience to grow and develop into professionals with a difference. I believe that with the help of all our mentors we will be able to put all our hard work in right direction for a brighter and better future .These two years will be golden years of my life and will help me to emerge with flying colours.

XISS, Thank You.
