How to Reach XIMB Bhubaneswar

XIM University has two campuses near Bhubaneswar, and XIMB's MBA-BM is on the older one at Xavier Square, Jayadev Vihar, Bhubaneswar 751013. The newer campus at Harirajpur, in Puri district, houses most of XIM University's other schools. Check the address on your call letter or joining letter before you book a cab, because the two campuses are in different districts.

This page leads with the interview candidate and the joining student, because MBA-BM is fully residential and every student moves in.
