Director's Message

XISS Bulletin has been launched as an interactive forum for the students, alumni, faculty, corporate leaders, NGO leaders and other stakeholders for discussing pressing issues and concerns of corporate as well as social sector. This will serve as a platform of Institute-Industry Interface. I invite you to join the forum and send in your views and feedback and also share your experiences for the benefit of all.

As you may be aware, the year 2006 has been quite eventful for the Institute. Campus placement has improved manifold in terms of number of companies coming for recruitment, Compensation Packages and number of selections as reflected in the very first phase of Campus Recruitment Programme. The Institute has got a number of new faculty members drawn from industry as well as academia. They are young, energetic and innovative.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2007. I am sure, the festive season will rejuvenate you and New Year will bring abundance of joy and success.
