Is XIME Bangalore a university, and does it grant an MBA degree?

A two-year, full-time, residential PGDM (240 seats) with specializations in Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations & IT, and Analytics; a PGDM in Business Analytics (PGDM-BA, 60 seats); and a Ph.D. in Management (full-time and part-time/executive), administered under University of Mysore regulations. XIME's wider Bangalore/Kochi/Chennai group also runs external programmes such as MDPs, FDPs and Open Batch Programmes.
