What began 68 years ago as a modest centre to impart Industrial
Relations training to TATA Steel, is now at the centre of the Human
Resource revolution in India. From a place where it all began, XLRI
has re-invented itself to be THE destination for business education.
The endeavour to constantly outdo ourselves has been a part of
our DNA from the start, and that continues as we explore infinite
possibilities with the best minds of the nation, striving to make
ourselves and those around us better.

Message from the
Director
Dear Recruiter,
Today’s dynamic business environment is competitive, far-
reaching, and transcends boundaries, whilst seamlessly
connecting economies across the globe. To survive in this
highly competitive landscape, all players – old and new –
need to defend their market footprints or create new ones.
Keeping in mind today’s marketplace, it is important for
executives to continuously update their knowledge base and
acquire new skill-sets and competencies. At XLRI, we guide
our students with industry-ready course content, engaging
lectures, and ample faculty interactions. Our approach to
learning embraces a meticulous, explore-every-solution
attitude and an appraisal of every business problem through
the lens of varied management disciplines.
Academic excellence, together with moral rectitude and
intellectual integrity is the essence of XLRI. This ensures that
our students are groomed to become successful leaders who
make an impact on the world.
We have been awarded accreditation from
prestigious international and national accreditation bodies.
We are proud to be part of the exclusive group of global
business schools who have received accreditation from AACSB
(The Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business),
AMBA (Association of MBAs) and NBA (National Board of
Accreditation).
This achievement is the result of continuous hard work
and support by our staff, students and alumni, and assures
you that our institution has spared no effort to make our
curriculum world-class and deliver it in the most effective
manner.
I welcome you to interact with these highly motivated future
leaders and I am certain that they are ready to lead your
organization towards sustainable growth and development.
With prayers and blessings
Fr. E. Abraham, S.J.

Message from the
Placement
Chair
Dear Recruiter,
I am very pleased to be presenting the Human Resources
Management (HRM) and the Business Management (BM)
students of XLRI’s 2017-2019 Batch. We have selected
the women and men of the 2017-2019 batch with great
care. Literally hundreds of faculty-hours have gone into
the selection process. Simultaneously, we have been
finely calibrating our course curriculum to ensure that
our graduates are capable of delivering maximum value
to the enterprises that employ them or the enterprises
that they choose to build.
We take the summer internship program very seriously.
Every year we debrief our students after their internship
stints, finding out areas that they found challenging,
looking for gaps in our curriculum and ensuring that the
next batch is even better prepared to deliver from Hour
1. We, as an Institute, have therefore been using the
summer internships to make our programme relevant
and current.
Our recruiters too seem to be benefitting from the
summer internship programme as evidenced by the
large number of Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) and
Pre-Placement Interviews (PPIs) that our students
have been awarded. The summer of 2017 has been
particularly heartening; the feedback that we have
received from the participating companies has been
extremely positive.
Do visit our beautiful campus and participate in the
Summer Internship Programme; I am sure it will be
mutually beneficial.

XLRI
History & Values
XLRI began its journey in the year 1949, pioneering management
education in India. Over the last six decades, the institute
has grown into a top-ranking business management school
of international repute, with a wide portfolio of management
programs and research publications. Its alumni are spread around
the globe and have demonstrated responsible and sustainable
business leadership in their organizations. XLRI continually strives
to contribute to the professional growth and management of
numerous organizations and institutions across industry sectors.
XLRI is unique in that it passes on its spirit of “Magis” – ever
greater, ever better, excellence - to its students, and propels them
to strive for integral development as well as academic excellence.
This understanding, that a multitude of skills and competencies
form the key to success in the business world, is a critical and vital
part of the institute.
Its value-based system propels its protégés to balance the
dichotomies of
Innovation vs Exploitation | Patriotism vs Global vision
Assertiveness vs Humility | Profit vs Social Consciousness
Why
The curriculum encourages students Alumni network which

and prepares them for what is
expected out of an XL-er.

Culture
Over the years, XLRI has developed its own unique culture. Our students do not follow beaten
roads, they strike new routes, they do not benchmark, but are benchmarked against, they are
second to none and the first to respond to the greater good, pioneers in taking bold tasks and
making things possible. The enterprising spirit is exemplified throughout the rich history of
this institution.
Students – a one out of 250 find
XAT is one of the most difficult admission tests in the nation, and the complete application process
which aspirants need to go through before making it to their dream destination is rigorous to say
the least. The top few percentile holders in XAT only qualify for the next stages of the process and
by the means of behavioural questionnaire, video submissions, GD and Personal Interview, are
tested to bring out the best in them. Only 1 out of 250 make it to the campus, and merit is the only
criterion.
Curriculum – A plethora of specializations
The rigor does not end with the difficult admission procedure. Once on campus, the
students are subjected to a rigorous curriculum which is structured to address the needs
of the industry and is aligned towards imparting contemporary knowledge to the students.
An optimal mix of learning methods ensures a holistic personality development of the
students. After the first year, each student goes to 8-10 weeks of summer internships which
brings industry exposure. Students decide what fields to pursue in the second year and
choose how and what they want to learn to take them towards future industry leadership
roles. All in all, the curriculum encourages students to apply theoretical learning to real-life
scenarios and prepares them for what is expected out of an XL-er.
Faculty
XLRI boasts of the best in class faculty in terms of teaching experience, subject matter
expertise, industry recognition and most importantly, student appreciation. Most of the
faculty members undertake/have undertaken consulting assignments in the corporate area
and/or advisory stints for the government agencies in India and abroad. They have authored
some of the finest management books of international repute and have published research
papers in some of the most distinguished journals in the world.
139 Recruiters - 386 Offers for a batch of 359
Over the years, brand XLRI has gone from strength to strength, creating a niche for itself
in the business world. This has culminated in some of the best organizations worldwide
offering challenging profiles to our students on campus. The confidence that an XL-er
is able to face any challenge not only by himself, but also inspire a business to achieve
greatness is what brings them back year after year.
Alumni - a network that is 12000+ strong
As the students walk out of XLRI, they embark upon a journey of leadership. However, it is their
bond with the school which they hold dearest. That is why XLRI students, who are legends in the
industry, look back at their alma mater and attribute their success to the hallowed halls of the
institution. The institution is proud of the vast, yet close knit alumni network which is going strong
for 68 years, and will keep being a family for years to come.

8FINANCE
FINANCE
Finance is one of the most sought after
specialisations, here, at XLRI. The course has been
specially designed to help students analyse and
examine critically the nuances of finance and fund
management, while simultaneously appreciating the
overarching role Finance, as a stream, plays in the
Business Organisation. XLRI has the distinction of
offering its students a specialization in Economics,
distinct from Finance, making it one of the few
schools to acknowledge very much relevant
business implications of the macroeconomic
environment.
The technical knowledge of students is
complemented with a thorough understanding
of the financial decision making process in
the corporate world through regular industry
interactions. Electives based on niche areas of
study like Microfinance and Structured Finance
stand as illustrations to the industry readiness of
XLRI pedagogy and curriculum. Instrumental in this
successful transformation of students is a team
of distinguished and eminent faculty. The student
committee FINAX, and Student Investment Fund,
play a crucial role in reaching out and nurturing the
enthusiasm of students – making finance a very part
of student life at XLRI.

12MARKETING
MARKETING
Marketing has for a long time now been the undisputable reigning ground
for XLRI. Over the years, XLRI has been known to be the institution that
churns out a talented pool of managers who have consistently proved
themselves by carving a niche in the ever competitive, pulsating and
exciting domain of Marketing. The only constant in the industry has been
the perpetual stir of change – in preferences and in perceptions. Thus, the
curriculum and pedagogy have been structured to instill flexibility and
adaptability, in students, to meet the demands of the corporate world –
with focus laid on practical, case based learning encouraging active class
participation.
Over the course of their study, students pick up nuances of marketing, not
just in classroom but through a plethora of innovative activities and events
conducted by the Marketing Association at XLRI (MAXI), and their summer
internships with some of the best firms in the industry.

necessary for General Management. The course is structured to encompass these very values and expose students
to philosophies and strategies that sustain successful enterprises. At the core of the study in this field, is the focus
of ethics and corporate as we understand the linkage between the enterprise and the broader community.
STRATEGY AND CONSULTING
Strategy and consulting over the years has carved a niche segment for itself in the market. In today’s extremely
competitive environment, the need to differentiate oneself from one’s competitors is of paramount importance.
It is therefore the need of the hour to have managers equipped with skills and mindsets that will foster quick
understanding of the businesses and their environment, thereby enabling quick decisions. XLRI has recognized
this need and has established a focused course designed to imbibe in its students the ability to understand
and analyse organisations and their strategies with respect to their environment and promote out of the box
thinking. Due to the pulsating and the dynamic nature of businesses and factors that influence it, the strategy and
consulting courses at XLRI are designed to evolve with the market requirement. The faculty, deeply respected by
companies around the globe is involved with several consulting projects in the private and public domain and
brings to the students a plethora of knowledge enriched by their experience in the field.
