The Xavier Institute of Social Services envisions a school of academic excellence to create an imperishable society with peace, justice and understanding. However, the institute looks forward to becoming a leading business management school in India. It also focuses on creating leaders with ethics, empathy, skills and commitment for sustainable development and upliftment of the marginalised. XISS offers Postgraduate Diploma in Management with specialisations in various fields. The school admits handpicked students that set them apart because of remarkable intelligence and personality.

The admission process for these programmes is three-staged. The students have to appear for either of exams- CAT/XAT/CMAT. After scoring a high percentile, students shall be asked for a group discussion round and personal interview. The course is divided into six trimesters in which they gain the domain knowledge and exposure to their selected field. Along with business management, students are exposed to the social service sector for the development of the leaders of tomorrow. However, students can opt for non-academic courses that would increase them in knowledge and train them for future business challenges.
