XLRI Jamshedpur

Being the oldest B-School in India and one of the most prestigious colleges, XLRI is famous for the esteemed faculties, state of the art facilities, and extensive peer learning opportunities. The college has a very rational and merit-based selection process that starts from XAT and concludes with an eye-opening interview experience. It's an experience for the life filled with unmatched opportunities for both theoretical and practical learning. The elaborate curriculum which ensures the expansion of a student's horizon through case-based practical learning and intense application of concepts makes it the most preferred B-School for me.

The BM course of XLRI is among the top 5 courses in the country. It enables ample opportunities in all fields of management like strategy, operations, sales and marketing, and finance. The college has a healthy faculty to student ratio. The faculty is an even mixture of highly qualified professors with extensive corporate experience.
