(6) What is Alumni Home-coming and when is the next Home-coming?
Homecoming gives the Alumni a chance to relive those “once in a lifetime moments” that they cherished all through their life as memories. It's a golden opportunity to spend time with people who left an indelible mark in their life at XIMB. It is a time to tread down the memory lane, enter the hallowed academic block once again, enjoy the fun moments with their favorite faculty members in the classrooms without the worries of a quiz or an assignment. Relish the chats over a coffee at X-Café with their old friends and soak the ambience with their laughter. The Home-coming starts with an Inaugural Programme, Flash presentations, updating them on the activities of XIMB, the legendary X-Walk, high tea, panel discussion, lunch with faculty, students and fellow mates, cricket match, participation in Xpressions and finally the corporate dinner. And how can we miss the energetic all night JLT! They carry back mementos, T-shirts along with the memories. There are endless reasons for them to come back, but above all, it is to strengthen the bond and feel the pride of being a “XIMBian for Life”.
The Annual General Body Meeting of the XIMB Alumni Association is held during the Home-coming.
Normally the home-coming is held in the month of November.
