How worthwhile is the XLRI post-graduate program for a certificate in entrepreneurship management?
Post Graduate Programme for Certificate in Entrepreneurship Management is a 6 months duration course at XLRI. As my brother belonged to the 2017-18 batch of the PGP CEM course, here are some first-hand experiences he had.
- As it's a tri-semester ordeal, each having about 7 to 8 subjects you will be evaluated on the basis of a mix of individual/group assignments and the finals.
- You will be taught subjects related to what the initial year of a regular MBA will cater to, along with some unique ones like Technopreneurship and Agripreneurship to state a few.
- The teaching is mostly theoretically driven so you'll have to refer to core books for each subject for the most part.
- Class presentations will expose you to public speaking and explaining concepts which is a good way to build confidence and speaking to an audience.
- You'll be taught by the same profs. who teach the regular MBA guys.
Overall, this is a good course if you already come with an initial idea about which field or genre you want to work in. Job seekers should completely avoid this since it wouldn't hold much value in their CVs except for a prestigious B-school name. Even if you are a fresher, you won't find this course optimum due to lack of experience. However, if you are a family business owner, you can definitely get insights into how to tackle problems and solutions occurring in your venture.
How good is XLRI Jamshedpur? How it fares against IIM ABC? Please answer, you view is valuable.
With its HR program allegedly being the best in Asia, XLRI might be ranked as one of the top 6 management schools in India. Other areas of expertise like marketing and finance are also strong.
One of XLRI's major advantages, in addition to having a large alumni base, is that all of the HR directors at the country's top corporations are XLRI graduates. As a result, XLRI receives a fantastic placement. As most employers view it on par with IIM A, B, and C, this also helps if you wish to change jobs. It will be regarded as one notch lower when compared to IIM A, B, and C. Top IB and PE firms that exclusively visit IIM A, B, and C do not go to XLRI. But XLRI is a fantastic alternative if you are not interested in IB or PE.
Many reputable companies (in the financial and consulting industries) exclusively visit IIM A or B; XLRI is not among them. But even with fewer options, XL can help you get into the best companies. The batch size is one factor. The XL BM batch size (until the 2021 batch) was just 180, as opposed to IIM A, B, and C, which had twice as many.

How difficult is it to crack the GDPI of XLRI if I score in the 99th percentile?
Even if you have scored 99 percentile, it is not very easy to crack the GDPI of XLRI. Every person who clears the exam and makes it to GDPI will be just as driven as you are or even more. It is not easy because of this as a lot of people are competing for the same seat and are equally hungry for it.
Those students who score around 97 and 98 percentile come in for the GDPI round more prepared. This is because as a 99+ percentile scorer, you have this notion that it will be easier for you as compared to them.
The GD and PI evaluation is conducted to test the different abilities of the XAT exam. It can be said that there is an advantage for people who have higher percentiles, but it is also not enough to make it easy.
In the end, if you make it through the bloodbath which is an Indian B- School GD round, you truly deserve the success that it brings along irrespective of your percentile.
Which are the dream companies for an XLRI HRM student?
A dream company depends upon your choice and where your interest lies. Typically, HR Consulting, IR, Manufacturing, or Line HR Roles are more popular.
- If you are interested in HR Consulting then Hay group, Accenture consulting are considered a dream as both of these companies pay significantly higher than other companies like Mercer or Hewitt.
- If your interest lies in IR or Manufacturing then FMCG companies like P&G, Unilever, ITC, Asian Paints, etc should be your dream companies.
- If you are interested in Line HR or corporate HR only then Novartis, Stan Chat, Microsoft, or other big banks and the Software or product based companies etc. are considered dream companies. Novartis offered their position in Switzerland so it was a dream for many students.
Despite this, some students may be more interested in joining startups and building systems from scratch than in joining existing companies.
