Exploring Academia
Xavier University is rooted from the legacy of their premiere world-class B-school in India, Xavier Institute of Business Management (XIMB). XIMB is acknowledged internationally as a world class business school which provides quality management programmes and develops futuristic managers with strong ethics and values. XIMB had been conceived with a vision to be recognized as a world class learning Institution while redefining education in the new age through creation of aptitude and comprehensive intelligence, and implementation of socio-economic development projects in collaboration with international agencies and the Government.
Taking its inspiration from Saint Francis Xavier, a Jesuit scholar whose name this University is privileged to take as its own, Xavier University strives to become a globally recognized center of learning and of service to the people. It seeks to become the leader as a Research oriented University that generates knowledge and diffuses it for the benefit of all.
XIMB has worked its reputation by building and pursuing paths towards exploring various knowledge systems provided by various scholastic disciplines. This allowed the University to continuously expand while bearing the ties and the commitments it has to the immediate and neighbouring communities that they aim to develop in the near future.
This same principle is applied even to the academic community it developed throughout time. Attention to study is integrated with goals toward innovation, service to society, and growth. In that way, Xavier University will have a guaranteed roster of leaders and nation-builders who are competent, recognized, and successful in their respective fields. This commitment to academia is further magnified by the relevance and quality of community research and relevant publications it produces as a University. Research is focused in terms of providing scientific viewpoints that will pave ways toward innovation, which is why Xavier University chooses to develop this as both an academic pursuit and curation of meaningful and relevant experiences, combining both theory and practice in the process of it.
Meaningful Campus, Meaningful Communities
At Xavier University we believe that student learning could be best achieved when provided with healthy and meaningful campus life and a reputable academic community.
The XIMB campus is located on 20 acres of verdant land at Xavier Square, Bhubaneswar. The University campus is located on 35 acres of land at Kurki-Nijigarh under Pipli Tehsil (at a distance of 20 km from XIMB campus, and 12 km from the Bhubaneswar Biju Patnaik International Airport). The entire Wi-Fi enabled, and solar powered campuses house the faculty residences, office complex, library and computer center complex, class room complex, auditorium complex, residences for boys, girls, and executive programme participants. The University stresses upon collaborations with industry experts and practitioners, who are invited for guest lectures, leadership talks, and thus the students get opportunities to update themselves on latest industry practices.
With academic activities round-the-clock, the students are expected to live on the campus for enriching their learning experience and campus life. There are separate residences for boys and girls.
Being a research-driven institution, the University strives to provide students with a community that actively engages with the external environment and social reality. This ensures that students remain socially-relevant individuals that will, in the future, be leading the way towards societal advances and the improvement of human life.
The University also takes close precaution over the security of every member of its academic community. Fully-equipped with CCTV cameras, the campus ensures that students, as well as other members of its community, will be provided with a guarantee of a peaceful learning environment. Studying in a place of serenity immerses one into deeper focus, allowing for higher-levels of academic performance. This is exactly what the University wants to achieve – developing a meaningful, secure, and socially-active campus that meets the needs of students for them to enjoy the best quality of its services.

A transparent bond with the faculties outside the classroom puts in their very best to make the University a great place to live in and learn.
When it comes to choosing an MBA degree, the only thing that would define you as a distinguished graduate of the university will be your experience.
