Name:
Xavier Institute of Management & Research (XIMR), Mumbai.

Born:
Born in July 2006 as a member of the world’s largest education network, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), founded in 1540. The Jesuit priests were sought after by European Monarchs, China’s Ming Emperor and the Japanese Shoguns, for their knowledge and expertise. The Jesuits were truly global, being the first Europeans to cross the Himalayas and enter Tibet, paddle to the source of the Nile, etc. They spread knowledge across the world and gained unprecedented prestige and influence from Rome to China over several centuries.

The Society of Jesus has over 20,000 members and runs 2000 institutions in more than 100 countries. For more than 500 years, the Jesuits have moulded leaders across the world.
 

Qualifications:

• Faculty with exceptional commitment.

• Unique curriculum that combines liberal arts with management education to provide a holistic, global prospective to students.

• Pedagogy that emphasizes practical, real life applications of concepts leading to enhanced student outcomes.

 

Goal:
To develop entrepreneurial leaders for global business with Character, Competence and Commitment who will make a positive difference to the lives of people they come in contact with, both personally and professionally.

Genesis:
Established in 1963 as St. Xavier Institute of Industry, to provide industry with competent human resources.
Re-named as Xavier Institute of Management (XIM) in 1971 with a focus on developing supervisory and management skills for working executives.
Xavier’s Institute of Management and Research (XIMR) was established in 2006 as a successor to the erstwhile XIM to provide managers with a global prospective, in line with the requirements of a fast changing business environment. It began with offering the two year, full time MMS programme of the University of Mumbai. XIMR has the DNA of the Society of Jesuits, who work tirelessly for “the Greater Glory of God.”

Achievements:
XIMR has attracted many new corporate such as HUL Ltd this year and the student-led placement cell will continue to work to get prominent corporations to campus. We expect our CAS and CIVS to provide a platform for international placements in the near future, and are in discussions with leading multinational corporations in this regard.
