His name is synonymous with the industry itself. <br />At XIME, the courses offered include a two-year post graduate diploma in Management, Executive PGDM programme and a two-year post graduate programme in communications management. <br /><br />“We believe that XIME students not only excel across several dimensions, like domain knowledge, communication, basic values and soft skills, but they also combine these with priceless qualities.
