Is Hostel Compulsory at XIM University?
XIM's PG FAQ states that MBA and MMS-BF programmes are residential, so hostel/residential living is compulsory for students in these programmes. Other postgraduate programmes, executive programmes and bachelor's programmes can have different residential requirements.
Do not compare XIM tuition alone with a non-residential MBA. Add room, residence administration and board expenses when calculating your total cost.
