Welcome to St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata, a Jesuit institution with one history but many stories, one fire with many sparks. It opened its doors to students in July 2017 with the blessings of the Hon’ble Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Mr. L.N. Mittal, who himself is a member of the Xaverian family and a number of distinguished alumni and stalwarts from various fields.
The University is built on a long-standing Jesuit heritage and timeless traditions. We attest our motto of “Nihil Ultra” upholding the illustrious Jesuit legacy, our commitment to creativity, leadership and standards, our affiliation to the onerous task of providing quality opportunities in the fields of teaching-learning, research, consultancy and placement.
The idea of introducing a post-graduate degree course in management (MBA) under St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata was to impart the core principles of the Jesuit value system and transform men and women into entrepreneurs and corporate leaders of tomorrow. Xavier Business School (XBS) is affiliated to the Xavier Association of Management Institutes (XAMI), which includes the likes of XLRI, XIMB, LIBA, XISS and other Jesuit Management Institutes in India.
Xavier Business School aims to incorporate a holistic approach to management education through its MBA course. The B-School offers to its students four core specializations of Finance, Marketing and Human Resource (HR), and Business Analytics (applicable to the students taking admission in 2023 onwards). Through rigorous grooming, both within the classroom and also through an application-oriented pedagogy, XBS intends to contribute to the Indian economy by producing Management graduates who would not only be adept in taking up the challenges of the corporate world but also make holistic contributions to research and development into multidisciplinary management education.
