XLRI HR program is widely reputed inside as well as outside the country. Most of the chief HR positions in the industry are occupied by XLRI HR alumni. For HR, it offers the best placements.
XLRI HR average package stays around INR 23-25 LPA. According to the 2022 placement drive, the median CTC offered to the students was INR 30 LPA. EY, Rivigo, Samsung, Airtel are some of the major recruiters that frequent the campus drive.
SPJIMER, SIBM, and XLRI placement reports are pretty accurate. Rather than the typical average/median CTC method, SPJIMER publishes its placement report in IPRS format. Every figure mentioned in the placement report is true to the 2nd decimal point.
XLRI and SIBM also keep the placement report transparent. SIBM gets its placement audited regularly. As per the 2022 placement highlights, the average CTC for SPJIMER, SIBM, and XLRI were INR 23.6 LPA, INR 23.06 LPA, and INR 30.73 LPA respectively.
NMIMS inflates the report. The numbers are quite high.
It is important to understand that the offers that XLRI HRM pass outs receive can vary significantly, as they come from a diverse range of industries. While it is true that the average median salary for XLRI HRM pass-outs is Rs. 9.5 lacs and the highest salary offered is Rs. 12 lacs, it is important to keep in mind that these figures are just estimates, and actual salaries may vary depending on a number of factors such as the specific industry, the company, the individual's skills and experience, and the location of the job.
For freshers, it is common for the starting salary to be in the range of Rs 3-4 LPA.
However, it is worth noting that this is just a rough estimate, and actual salaries may differ based on the factors mentioned above. Ultimately, the salary that an XLRI HRM pass-out receives will depend on a variety of factors, and it is important to keep this in mind when considering job offers.
Top B-Schools have created an Invincible persona and have successfully marketed it over the years; however, there is now a demand-supply mismatch, with seats at all B-Schools almost doubling or tripling in the last decade, and a slew of new IIMs or branches of top colleges such as MDI Murshidabad, IIFT Kolkata, NITIE, FMS Delhi, and XLRI Delhi. The colleges will suffer as a result of the lack of job offers from top companies. The only increase can be attributed to recently funded startups that have started hiring from these colleges by offering outrageous packages.
There are students who are unable to be placed during the normal Summers / Finals process, but these colleges use their star alumni base to place the remaining 5-8 students in companies cofounded by the alums or through alums who have been placed in top positions in traditional corporates.
XLRI's HRM program is one of the most sought-after management programs in India, known for producing competent HR professionals. Graduates of the HRM program at XLRI get hired by top-notch organizations and typically receive attractive job offers.
While the salary offered to XLRI HR graduates can vary depending on several factors like job profile, years of experience, location, industry, and company, the average pay scale for HR professionals in India is around INR 7-10 lakhs per annum for entry-level roles. However, XLRI HRM graduates generally tend to receive higher salary packages compared to other business schools due to the reputation of the program and the skills they possess.
Here are some points that will help you understand life after HRM from XLRI:
The two most important factors considered by recruiters during Placements at IIM ABC/FMS/XLRI are
MBA scores are of much importance during Final Placements but are Not available during summer placement.
If you have passed the above criteria, you are most likely to land any job. Still, I have segregated the roles that require work experience and the roles that do not.
Roles that require work experience
Roles that do not require work experience
So most of the jobs do not require work experience. Even if they do only non-engineering work experience is of value unless you want to go into Operations/Supply chain/product management.
In the placement process, it is not always the B-Schools that are responsible for reporting inflated packages, but rather the companies. The figure reported by placement cells is referred to as the "Cost to Company" (CTC) and not the take-home salary. This means that simply dividing the CTC by 12 is not an accurate reflection of what you will receive in your bank account each month.
CTC consists of two main components: fixed and variable. The fixed component includes your basic salary, HRA, TA, LTA, employer's contribution to the provident fund, joining bonus, retention bonuses, and ESOPs. The variable component is based on both your performance and the company's performance and is paid out in lump sums either yearly or half-yearly.
Your take-home salary at the end of each month is calculated as basic salary + HRA + TA + other allowances - provident fund deduction - tax. The remaining amount is given to you at the end of the year. To illustrate how companies may inflate their CTC figures, here are a few examples:
Fixed component: 9 lakhs
Year 1 end retention bonus: 2 lakhs
Year 2 end retention bonus: 1.5 lakhs
ESOP: 5 lakhs to be paid over 3 years
Performance bonus: separate/not reported CTC: 17.5 lakhs
Take-home salary: 65-70k
Fixed component + Variable component: 14.5 lakhs
Relocation: 2,00,000 INR (one-time payment)
Supplemental Salary: 3,50,000 INR (supplemental salary is an accrued bonus paid out in monthly installments pro-rated from the date of joining, only applicable during the first year of joining)
CTC: 20 lakhs
Take-home salary: 95-98k
Fixed component: 9 lakhs
Variable component: 10-20% of a fixed component
CTC: 10.8 lakhs
Take-home salary: 65-68k
As seen from the examples, despite Amazon having a CTC that is double that of RBS IDC, their take-home salary is the same. This is the typical way it works. The placement teams likely do not have much control over the process.
