Xavier Institute of Management and Research Mahapalika Marg Mumbai Answered Questions

Hello,
Admissions at XIMR can be taken through the CAP rounds (through MH CET scores) or the CMAT scores. The college is not autonomous; it is affiliated to the Mumbai University. It is related to XLRI and XIMB as all these colleges are operated under the same Jesuit parent organization.

Hi Priya,
I'll start with the last question first. MBA in finance is a good option as the world is increasingly relying on data analysis and financial cost-related problem solving. However, you need to be sure of what is it that you want to achieve through an MBA/MMS in Finance.
The placement scenario in XIMR is good enough. For finance, the average package is around 4.5-5 lakhs. We have had the package touching 10 lakhs as well. So rest assured - if you work hard, you will get good results. Companies that hire from XIMR include HDFC.
Hope this answer is helpful.

Hi,
The CAP round is the centralized admission procedure round. Here, the state of Maharashtra allocates a college to you based on your MH-CET scores. You will be given a choice of colleges. Once you select the ones you want, the state and the DTE will decide which college is good for you, based on your marks.

Hi,
Once you get your MH CET scores, you need to visit the DTE website. There you will get a list of colleges and their previous cut-offs. You will be given a choice to select 10 colleges of your choice. Based on your marks, you will be notified about which college you will be able to get into. Once you get to know, you can directly contact the college for the further process.

Hi,
I am not sure which colleges accept CMAT scores. But XIMR does accept the scores, and your CMAT score is really good. So you can try for XIMR through the Institute Quota (no extra fee). Get in touch with the college. You will find the number on the college website.

With 85.28 percentile and 2 years of work experience, I would say that you have pretty good chances of getting admission at XIMR through the Catholics minority quota. There is no cut-offs for minority as such. There are 31 seats, and they are given on the basis of interviews and MH-CET merit. All the best!

Hi again,
As I wrote in my previous reply, I can't really say a lot about Chetana - I recommend you ask a campus rep from that college. Both are good. XIMR's MMS Finance course is good enough, but I won't call it one of the best. XIMR, however, does focus a lot on your learning. The professors are very strong with their understanding of the subject and are always available to answer doubts.
