I have a friend at XLRI. According to him, placement at XLRI depends upon the following few criteria.

  • Companies visiting the campus for the recruitment process during summer and final placement sessions.
  • Your overall academic profile.
  • The way you perform in your summer internship, which can fetch you placement offers at the same company.
  • Duration and place of your work experience (if any).
  • You can get placed if you win any of the company-organized competitions. 

Placement stats of the 2020 batch is listed below. 

Number of recruiters

108

Total number of students placed

358

Highest CTC offered

50 LPA

Average CTC offered

25.08 LPA

Placement rate

100%

Major Recruiters:

Top recruiters at XLRI include Boston consulting group, Hindustan Unilever, Accenture strategy, and Microsoft, offering roles majorly in consulting, BFSI, Sales, and marketing.

Profiles Offered:

If your niche is Human Resources, there are various job roles including HR business partner, Change Agent, HdR generalist, HR consultant. You could even consider moving into general management roles if the company is willing to offer that role to HRM students. 

In the worst-case scenario, if you fail to get placed at your dream company, the alumni network of XLRI is strong enough for you to fetch new opportunities.

Which are the dream companies for an XLRI HRM student?

HR
Hariharan Ragunathan Posted On : May 31st, 2021
Studied at Xavier School of Management (2018)

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.

How is the BM course of XLRI Jamshedpur different from management courses present in any of the IIMs?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : April 25th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

I seriously doubt that you will have much success in locating a student who has taken both of those classes. It is more prudent to make an effort to get this question answered by members of the faculty that are shared by both institutions. There is a significant amount of faculty exchange between XLRI Jamshedpur and the other IIMs, most notably IIMCal.

XLRI Jamshedpur's BM program interested me. Academic standards are high, in my opinion. It had less access to the world in Jamshedpur. As a result, students participated in fewer international exchange programs, guest lectures, visiting faculty, hands-on chances, and genuine projects, all of which would have likely improved education.

PT
Parth Tawde Posted On : January 11th, 2023
PGP from Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2018)

As a fresher, you will find the curriculum quite hectic and unapproachable. Yet with proper motivation and enough time you will find yourself adapting to the rigor and it will become a part of your life. Some major highlights of the course are

  • Induction program: IIM Ranchi conducts a unique induction process wherein students from all the programs work together. It helps to inculcate Teamwork, creativity, and leadership through various tasks. The Introduction To Business session gives you a broad idea of both HR and other domains like Marketing, Finance, Operations, etc.
  • Curriculum: The curriculum at IIM Ranchi does not solely focus on HR subjects. Rather, it gives a strategic and integrative perspective from the very beginning. This aims at giving rise to future HR Leaders as Business Partners. The Foundation courses cover a broad spectrum like HR Scorecard, Job Evaluation, and Job Analysis.
  • Specialization: Another major highlight of the course is the specialization opportunity offered to its students. Apart from General HR Management, the PGDHRM course lets you specialize in Industrial/Labour Relations as well as Organization Development. This is a book for people who want to work in PSUs or crack exams like UGC NET. This makes it the first IIM to offer specialization in HR as well as the first IIM to offer specialization within its HR course.
  • SHRM guidelines: The content of its curriculum is based on the SHRM guidelines which is an International HR body to give the best to students in terms of knowledge.
  • Placements: The placement statistics of HR program are as follows

What is the CAT cutoff for the PGP-IM in MDI Gurgaon?

RT
Ranjan Thakur Posted On : February 22nd, 2023
PGPM from Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (2017)

MDI Gurgaon CAT cut-off is 94 percentile. It has been reducing over the years starting since 2010. The CAT cutoff is usually released when the GD-PI list is published. But I would like you to reconsider your decision of pursuing PGP-IM instead of PGPM. You can complete PGPM and then go abroad for an exchange program for 3 months. But if you are getting PGP-IM in MDI Gurgaon and PGPM in a mediocre B School, then choosing MDI is a better option.

Some highlights about the PGP-IM course are

  • Students of both the PGP-IM and PGPM programs are given equal opportunities and there is no partiality. However, some companies do prefer PGPM students only while some prefer PGP-IM students.
  • It’s a very rigorous course but you get to make International friends and access to the alumni network of institutes like ESCP.

Trust me 5-10 years later, your performance will matter more than anything.

These courses were first inaugurated in the year 2014, and ever since then, students undeniably acquired satisfactory placement offers.

Which is better purely in terms of placement, XLRI BM or HRM?

VB
Viren Bhalla Posted On : May 20th, 2021
studied MBA from Xavier School of Management (2018)

Although choosing a course just based on placement records is not a good idea, there are some insights you must know before deciding.

  • Placement is for the first job which you might do for 2–3 years while your career will span for 30–35 years. You should choose what you feel you want to be doing.
  • You must have heard that HR roles offer you better work-life balance but it might not be true in every case. It depends a lot on the company, your manager, and your role. If work-life balance is your criteria, you might feel a shock when you join a company. HR might not have business targets but you may face other pressures.
  • Placements in any campus depend on your luck too. HR batch strength increase in XL might make the competition for the good roles a little higher because the number of HR roles is limited. BM batch is still divided amongst Fin/Mar/Ops camps giving them specific roles but the number of opportunities might be higher. 

All in all, placements won't secure your future in any way if you choose a field where you aren’t interested.
