This year marks a historic milestone for Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi, as we celebrate 70 glorious years of existence. Seven decades of commitment, service, and academic excellence have shaped XISS into what it is today—a pillar of management education in India and a transformative force in society.
As we enter this Platinum Jubilee year, we pause to reflect on our remarkable journey, celebrate our achievements, and most importantly, look forward to welcoming the new generation of changemakers—the Batch of 2026–28—who will carry forward the legacy of XISS into the future.
Seven Decades of Impact
Since its establishment in 1955, XISS has stood firmly at the intersection of knowledge, ethics, and service. From its early years, the Institute recognized that management education must go beyond technical expertise. It must create leaders who are competent, compassionate, and socially responsible.
Over the years, XISS has evolved into a premier B-school, offering four flagship NBA Accredited, AICTE-approved PGDM programmes—Human Resource Management, Rural Management, Marketing Management & Financial Management. XISS also offers AICTE approved Fellow programme in Management, 12 months Post graduate certificate in Geo Spatial Technology and 6 months Course in Business Analytics. Each programme has been meticulously designed to prepare students for the demands of today’s dynamic business environment, while instilling in them the Jesuit values of excellence (Magis) and service (men and women for others).
With over 10,000+ alumni working across industries and continents, XISS has contributed immensely to corporate India, the development sector, and entrepreneurial ventures. Our alumni stand out not only for their professional success but also for their ethical leadership and commitment to social transformation.
Transforming Students into Leaders
