I am proud to associate myself with XIC and believe that I have learnt all that I came here to learn and most of what the institute endeavors to teach—ethical conduct, responsibility for one’s actions and commitment towards high standards of excellence I look forward to putting the skills and knowledge I have acquired at XIC to use in the field of mass communications and journalism, and sincerely hope that I will do this institute proud in the future.

Over the last ten month at XIC, I have been taught values and lessons that will hold me in good stead for the rest of my life. Writing a good news report or putting together a video or print production are just few of the skills that I will have to keep myself updated with all the time. But the values learnt here I will never need to relearn, being honest and ethical in all my dealings, no matter what the consequences.

Reuben Rato, JR 05

I chose to pursue a postgraduate diploma in journalism from XIC. I made this decision mainly on the basis of the course material and structure, apart from the opportunities it offered and its brand value. I can say with confidence that my knowledge and skills have only been enhanced by leaps and bounds. As my deduction goes, this has been achieved by the module structure of the course, the proficiency of lecturers, their lectures and the rigorous quality and quantity of assignments, which were given in class.

Learning at XIC taught me some important lessons in life which helped me grow as a person. It imparted the confidence to always bring out the best in me. Xavier's gives you a strong feeling of belonging that stays in every alumni's heart for a lifetime. The bond with the institution only grows with time. I got more than I have given and I wish I get an opportunity to give back a least a little to this institution as a sheer mark of gratitude. XIC will always be very close to my heart.

I’m glad to be in touch again! I’d love to hear how XIC has evolved over the years. I certainly recall with fondness the time I spent at the institute, and the foundation it laid for my journalistic career.

I am now with CNN International, primarily in the role of a producer.

I produce a daily half-hour current affairs program called Insight — one of the flagship programs on the networks, which go beyond hourly news bulletins. In addition, I occasionally anchor short newscasts. It is a challenging job and full of promise. I hope to be in touch with you when I visit India the next time.

After I finished my journalism at XIC I did my Masters in Social Work at TISS,. Now I plan to do a PHD in “Development Communications” at the University of Southern California. The bottom line is I really think the journalism course I did at XIC has grounded me for what I am pursuing now. The course gives the student a holistic perspective and it just helps U THINK!-- which is so essential!

“I’ll always fondly remember my days at XIC. Not to mention the boost it gave my career in Advertising. Right now, as I pursue my education in the USA, I’m glad that I have the XIC edge! Thanks.

I wish the system followed at XIC could be emulated in colleges across the country. It is demanding on the student as well as the teachers. And the best part is that it really makes one think, and think for oneself. I think that is what higher education has to be all about.

Chetna Mahadik, JR 03

It was great to visit XIC today. 22 years is a long time indeed and it is great to see our college flourishing with so many diverse courses and a website and e-learning as well. Keep it up, XIC!
