Core Committees

XIM Alumni Committee is committed to fostering and maintaining strong relationships with XIMB’s global alumni network, which exceeds 8,000 distinguished professionals. These alumni not only embody the institution’s academic legacy but also serve as leaders across various sectors, elevating XIMB’s reputation worldwide.

The committee organizes a series of structured events aimed at engaging alumni and enriching the student experience. Alumni Connect marks the beginning of each academic year, where prominent alumni address the incoming batch, providing guidance and setting a motivational tone for the year ahead. Disha, held prior to summer placements, facilitates domain-specific interactions between students and alumni, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world practice.

To further support professional development, the committee runs X-Alma, a mentorship program pairing students with alumni based on their areas of interest. This initiative ensures tailored guidance and enhances career growth opportunities for students.

The committee also curates Unnayan, the annual alumni magazine, which is launched during a key institutional event. Unnayan serves as a comprehensive reflection of the alumni community, featuring faculty messages, highlights of campus activities, and alumni achievements, ensuring continued engagement and connection with the institution.

The culmination of the committee’s efforts is the Grand Homecoming, an event celebrating milestone reunions, such as the silver jubilee batch. This reunion fosters a sense of community and reinforces the lifelong bond between alumni and XIMB.

Through these initiatives, XIM Alumni Committee continues to uphold XIMB’s legacy, facilitating ongoing professional growth and expanding networking opportunities for both current and former students.

In the academic year 2024-25, the XIM Alumni Committee organized a series of impactful events to foster stronger ties between alumni and current students. These initiatives aimed to build meaningful engagement, share professional insights, and celebrate the achievements of our alumni network. The committee successfully conducted major events including Alumni Connect, Business Excellence Summit (BES), Unnayan, Reminiscence, Know Your Alumni (KYA), Sanidhya (Mumbai Chapter), and the Grand Home Coming.

Career Advisory Services (CAS) is the gateway for students to get introduced to the corporate world. The committee has been a part of the XIMB legacy for more than 35 years now.

The Team’s primary work includes:

1.⁠ ⁠Final Placement Process (Xuberance)

2.⁠ ⁠Summer Internship Programme (Xcelsior)

3.⁠ ⁠Leadership Talks (ConeXus)

Despite the adversity the ongoing market conditions have shown, CAS has not only managed to maintain its legacy of exceptional final placements, but it has also attained greater lengths of success. The committee made sure there’s no barrier to industrial learning, and introduced ConeXus, a flagship leadership talk series which has spanned out to be a huge success.

The committee strives to make sure that every student gets an opportunity to work in a business environment by ensuring each student bags a summer internship. Even during unprecedented times, the committee doesn’t leave any stone unturned to achieve 100% final placement.

Apart from all the above-mentioned, CAS works towards the betterment of students with respect to their profile building and personality development. Opportunities through live projects, case study competitions, and multiple placement preparedness drives are provided to each student to build on their strengths and weaknesses.

As a committee, the members have always shown utmost sincerity and resilience, and it will continue to go through a similar but improved path in the years to come.
