 FROM THE
DIRECTORS DESK
I am delighted to introduce you to XLRI and
welcome you to this esteemed institution.
XLRI was established in 1949, soon after the
independence of India and joined in spirit and
action the selfless patriots and great leaders
of India in building the nation. It focused on
training people who can shape the destiny of
India with competence and dedication. XLRI
continues to have the same vision to train
leaders who will excel in competence, personal
values and social concern.
Excellence and Integrity is the motto of XLRI,
derived from the Jesuit principle of Magis
ever greater, ever better. We try to translate
excellence through academic excellence, value
excellence and social excellence. This means
we are not only concentrating on knowledge
development, but also on personal, spiritual
and social development. This is the integral
formation we offer to students. This integral and
value based formation should impel a person to
be an innovative, competent and creative leader.
Our academic excellence is our greatest strength.
The values we instil in students through
effective courses, group activities and cultural
events groom them to become responsible
leaders. Our emphasis is to mould them into
agents of change who will make a difference in
the organisation through innovative ideas.
XLRI strives to meet the educational needs
of various segments of students by offering a
variety of management-centric programmes.
Our flagship programmes include the two-
year Postgraduate Programmes in Business
Management, Human Resource Management,
besides the full-time fifteen months General
Management Programme for executives with
experience. In addition, we offer three-year part-
2
time PGDM programme in Business Management
in Jamshedpur and multiple one-year part-time
Satellite Programmes. Prospective students can
choose any programme according to their need
and convenience.
Our new campus is an accomplishment that
speaks for itself. We have won acclaim and
approval from various national and international
assessors and accreditation bodies. We are proud
to be part of the exclusive group of global
business schools who have triple accreditation
from AACSB, AMBA and NBA.
I welcome you to Jamshedpur, the first planned
city of India, the cleanest and most hospitable
city. Jamshedpur offers excellent sports and
recreational facilities, and sylvan environment.
You will get ample opportunity to interact
with national and international leaders from
every walk of life and learn the problems
and prospects ahead of you and available to
you. These interactions combined with your
classroom inputs will help you to opt for a career
you dream of.
I welcome you to become a nation builder who
continually strives to build a better and more
inclusive society.
Fr. E. Abraham, S.J.

 The Genesis And Journey

Keeping true to its vision,

XLRI strives to offer an
education which is not
just leading to a degree,
but one that inspires
students to respond to
the unmet needs of the
society.

XLRI was founded in 1949 by Fr Quinn Enright,
SJ, in the Steel City, Jamshedpur, soon after
Independence. The country was undergoing a
political, economic and social transformation. Fr
Enright visualised XLRI to be a partner in this
liberation and development journey. His vision
was to renew the face of the earth through XLRI.
Together with Fr Bill Tome, Fr Edward McGrath
and other Jesuit companions, he worked tirelessly
towards translating this vision into reality.
The Jesuit Society has been guiding the activities
and affairs of the institute since 1949. The forces
that made it possible for XLRI to realise the vision
were (1) Commitment to magis to strive for
better, to excel; (2) Conviction through discernment
a decision making process which is not self-
centered but God-centered and (3) Courageous
execution of the decisions because it was Gods
work. The hallmark of this culture is, not to walk
on the beaten path, but to strike new routes; not to
benchmark, but to be benchmarked; to be second
to none, but to be the first to respond to the needs
of the people and the nation. It is this enterprising
and pioneering spirit that sets XLRI apart from
other management schools.
XLRI has always had a global outlook. It was the
first to internationalise its programmes. Renowned
personalities have been a part of the institute

4

over 60 Years
as leaders and teachers. The Board of
Governors comprises distinguished
industrialists, academicians and
members of the Jamshedpur Jesuit
Society.
Keeping true to its vision, XLRI strives
to offer an education which is not just
leading to a degree, but one that inspires
students to respond to the unmet needs
of the society.
The single-most characteristic that sets
apart XLRI students, is magis the
zeal to do better, never to be satisfied
with being a mediocre and aspire to
excel. He/she relentlessly strives for
more, for something greater and better.
Instead of wishing circumstances to
change and be different, magis-driven
persons either make them different or
make most of them. Instead of waiting
for golden opportunities to come along,
they turn all that is in hand into gold.
Magis should be reflected in every Xler
in three areas (a) Academic excellence
learning not for grades but for
knowledge and wisdom. A genuine thirst
for knowledge, questioning the status
XLRI Admission Prospectus 2017
quo for meaning and wisdom in life; (b)
Values imbibe and stand for ethical and
social values, even in the midst of squalor,
corruption, opposition and above all
human loneliness and (c) Social concern
for people to be at the service of the
needy. Integrity should permeate all the
three aspects, ones thoughts, feelings and
actions.
During the initial years of its growth,
XLRI developed and organised several
management courses for trade unions.
In 1953, a two-year, day programme in
Industrial Relations and Welfare was
started which has been re-christened
to Human Resource Management.
Since then, XLRI has added many more
academic programmes and has expanded
its infrastructure to meet the growing
demand. A three-year, evening programme
in Business Management was started
in 1965, while the two-year, full-time
programme in Business Management
was launched in 1968. In responding to
the demand of the corporate and public
sector, a one-year General Management
Programme for working executives was
launched in 1997.
To disseminate quality management
education to executives working in
different cities, the Virtual Interactive
Learning (VIL) arm of XLRI offers a
portfolio of 12-month consolidated
programmes in different functional areas
of management. A Postgraduate Certificate
in Business Management was started
in 2002 and Postgraduate Certificate in
Human Resource Management in 2003.

also require students to undertake research studies in their
field of interest and specialisation as term papers / project
work.
Convocation

end of the academic year. At the convocation the awards for
excellence in academic performance are also given to those

Management
Development
Programmes (MDPs)
XLRI has been a pioneer in developing
and offering short duration Management
Development Programmes (MDPs) with
a four decade enviable standing in the
committee of B-schools in India. These
MDPs have been designed keeping
in view the ever changing demands
on business/professional executives.
The programme content of even the
standard MDPs is constantly reviewed
and changes are made on a continuous
basis. The objective of the MDPs is to
help improve management systems and
practices in India and other countries in
South Asian Region by providing relevant
training to the executives of different
sectors of the economy operating at
different levels in the organisational
hierarchy. The participants are equipped
with the latest tools, techniques and
skills spanning different streams
of management such as General
Management, Human Resources,
Organizational Behaviour, Marketing,
Finance, Operations Management,
Information Systems, Strategic
Management and Industrial Relations.
A majority of these programmes are
held in the Jamshedpur campus of
XLRI, while a few of them are held at
prominent cities in the country. The
programmes conducted at XLRI are
residential. The participants are housed
in a modern complex of comfortable
air-conditioned twin-sharing rooms
at the MDP residence located in the
campus. The MDP residence has facilities
to accommodate about 110 executives
with a separate kitchen, lounge and
dining facilities. The calm, serene,
academic ambience of the campus and
its lush green surroundings are highly
conducive to study, reflect and learn.
Round-the-clock internet facility is
available on campus network based
32
on Gigabit Ethernet structured cabling
through high-speed bandwidth. The air-
conditioned computer lab with internet
connections provide opportunities for
the participants to stay connected with
the business world at large.
In-Company Training
Programmes
XLRI accepts requests from
organisations for conducting customised
training programmes for their executives
at different levels, and offers unique
programmes to suit the business
and developmental needs of client
organisations. Standard Modules from
regular MDPs are also combined and
adapted, wherever necessary, to suit the
requirements of client organisations.
The duration of these programmes
ranges from two days to one month
depending upon the variety, magnitude
and complexity of topics covered. While
some of these are conducted at the
institute, there are also many held in
the premises of the client organisations.
A total of 141 In-company Training
Programmes were conducted during
the year 2015-16, covering some 55
different topics from different Functional
Areas, and a little over 2948 Executives
from different Corporate Houses
participated in these Programmes in
India and Abroad.
Virtual Customised

Executive Coaching
Executive coaching is commonplace
in leadership development and as a
transition tool the world over. However
executive coaching is still a developing
field. It is seen as a viable lever in the
development of high potentials and
in the retention of top talent. XLRI
believes that executive coaching is most
successful as a three-way partnership
among coach, executive, and the
executives organisation.
The practice of executive coaching is
continually evolving and expanding and
as an institution, we plan to incorporate
new perspectives from varied disciplines,
specialties and backgrounds. The
inter-disciplinary nature of executive
coaching is a big challenge, but as
an institution known for its academic
resources and distinguished faculty we
 XLRI Admission Prospectus 2017
can collectively go even beyond our Competency
Model: psychology, organisation development,
business, and coaching. Organisations that have
used XLRIs Executive Coaching Model have
reported that they would actually increase use
of executive coaching in the coming years. With
the increasing need for executive coaching and
its use and application, we hope to address
the issues arising out of this developing
interdisciplinary, professional field for the
mutual benefit of leaders, organizations, and the
people and societies they serve.

Research and
Innovation Cell
The aim of the XLRIs Research and Innovation
Cell is to bridge the gap between in the
industry and academia. Over the years long
term associations and partnerships have been
forged with Corporate Houses to foster a
symbiotic environment where researchers have
the opportunity to work with real time issues
faced by organizations. These organizations in
turn get pragmatic, effective and cost effective
business solutions from the distinguished
faculty and bright, savvy and technology driven
researchers and academic resources of XLRI.
The incubation cells help develop capability
to achieve short- and long-term organizational
goals and the interactions in these partnerships
provide the academic community with data
driven multiple perspectives and relevant and
current industry resources. The associations
and partnerships are most long term which is
evident in the confidentiality and mutual trust.

 XLRI Admission Prospectus 2017

Life at XL is a vibrant blend of class lectures, study

sessions, management fests and competitive sports
meets. The unique XL culture springs from its closely
knit student community. An environment of caring and
sharing is what makes this B-school different. Despite
a highly competitive spirit amongst students to excel
academically, the atmosphere outside the classroom
is one of great comradeships. A fresher is greeted with
warmth and is made a part of the student fraternity. An
intense academic rigour and an incredible phenomenon
called the XL culture together make up for a hectic yet
heady concoction of work and play. As all programmes
are residential, the seniors and juniors share an amicable
relation. It is hence no surprise that XLRI has the most
extensive alumni network among all Indian B-schools.
Team work is stressed throughout your life at XL. In fact
the environment of bitter rivalry among students that
traditionally prevails in B-schools has been removed
through conscious efforts by the institute. Instead, an
atmosphere of collaboration and cooperation has been
carefully nurtured over the years and this makes XLers
excellent team players and leaders in every organisation
that they become a part of.
In addition to this, XLRI lays great emphasis on ethics
and on social responsibility.. The institute is highly
regarded in the corporate world for its efforts to instill
these qualities in tomorrows business leaders. Built
into the curriculum are novel concepts like the Village
Exposure Programme that develop social awareness by
taking every student back to their roots.
For an Xler there is something happening at XL all the
time. There are conferences, seminars, guest lectures and
workshops where a student is exposed to diverse views,
opinions and ideas of many of the greatest minds in the
world of business. Yet, a good part of the XL life will not
just be academic. There is the marketing extravaganza
MAXI fair, the annual management fest; Ensemble and
XL-IIMC sports meet.
A student, irrespective of his/her stream, always finds
an opportunity to explore every interest. Innovation is
religion at XL and a little initiative can take you a long
way.
The formal and informal committees at XLRI take full
advantage of this freedom and involve the XLers in
numerous activities that helps one to experiment and
explore new management avenues.
