History
XLRI was founded in 1949 by Fr Quinn Enright, S.J. in the Steel City of Jamshedpur. Fr. Enright visualized XLRI to be a partner in
the liberation and development journey of the independent India with a vision of “renewing the face of the earth”. Fr. Bill Tome joined
hands with him to bring that vision to fruition. Both, together with the other Jesuit companions, worked tirelessly towards translating
the Vision “Renewing the face of the earth” into action.
During the fi rst seven years of growth, several courses of management and trade unions were developed and organized by the institute.
In the year 1953, the 2 year full time industrial relations program was started which is now the most widely acclaimed Personal
Management and Industrial Relation (PM & IR) course. In the year 1968 the 2 year full time business management (BM) course
was introduced and it is now one of the most sought after programs. To mark the fi fty years of service to the executive world,
XLRI started the three year executive post graduate program in the year 2001. It started the three-years Executive Postgraduate
programme in Business Management (Singapore) and the International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP) in 2006. In 2007
the one-year Postgraduate Program (PGP) in Management and Insurance (with ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company), 12
months Postgraduate Certifi cate (PGC) in Retail Management (Satellite based live classrooms across the country) and the 12 months
Postgraduate Certifi cate (PGC) in Sales & Marketing Management (Satellite based live classrooms across the country) was started.

and applied the same, be it in the campus activities of the Marketing Association of XLRI, Maxi or in the course
of their internship in exciting projects, with the best of the industry. XLRI has prided itself with the innovation
of ‘MAXI Fair’ (estd: 1977) as an innovative way for companies to solve marketing research problems. Some of

behind it a saga more than thirty years old and acts as a common forum for all those with an enthusiasm for marketing to come
together and have a shared learning journey. MAXI is involved in hosting a slew of events and activities across the year. Apart from
holding various seminars, symposiums it organizes an annual two-day Ad Workshop in association with big names in the advertising
domain. Workshops like these stimulate creative thought process and help exploring new avenues of learning.
Perhaps one of the most sought after event in XLRI is the MAXI Fair- a three day carnival-like milieu which has emerged as an
accredited market research tool. While students try to extract unbiased consumer perceptions and preferences, elicit meaningful
information they actually gain insights which inculcate the fi ner aspects of Marketing. Events like these are complemented with live
projects and industry interaction with experts. MAXI ensures that the business school experience is fi lled with exciting events which
make learning more challenging and close to practice.

Strategy & ConsultingStrategy and consulting, over the years, has carved a niche segment for itself in the market. In today’s extremely
competitive environment, the need to diff erentiate oneself from one’s competitors is of paramount importance.
It is therefore the need of the hour, to have managers equipped with skills and mindsets that will foster quick
understanding of the businesses and their environment, thereby enabling quick decisions. XLRI has recognised
this need and has established a focussed course designed to imbibe in its students the ability to understand and
analyse businesses with respect to their environment, and to promote out of the box thinking. Due to the
pulsating and dynamic nature of businesses, and factors that infl uence it, the strategy & consulting courses at
XLRI are designed to evolve with the market requirements. Th e faculty, deeply respected by companies around
the globe, is involved with several consulting projects in the private and public domain and brings to the students
a plethora of knowledge enriched by their experience in the fi eld.
General ManagementGeneral Management, as a sphere of activity, is concerned with the leadership and management of any business
as a whole. Here, at XLRI, we understand the importance of inculcating in our students the values and qualities
necessary for eff ective general management. Th e course is structured to encompass these very values, and to
expose students to philosophies and strategies that sustain successful enterprises. At the core of the study in this
fi eld, is the focus on ethics and corporate citizenship, as we understand the linkage between the enterprise and
the broader community.

Th e Placement Offi ce is managed by the Placement Committee which consists of student representatives. A placement Chairperson
is selected from the faculty. Th e activities of the Placement Committee include coordinating for the Summer Internship Program,
the Lateral Recruitment Program & the Campus Recruitment Program. It corresponds with the prospective employers, arranges
Pre-Placement Talks and Personal Interviews on campus and provides all the facilities required by the visiting companies.
Placements
Building Campus Presence
A successful recruiting eff ort is possible only when the students know you better. XLRI off ers you many opportunities to help build a
good corporate image among the students. Th e following are our recommendations for the same.
Pre-placement Talks (PPTs)
Th e pre-placement talks are presentations organized by the company on the college campus. Over the years, they have become the
primary forums for company-student interaction. Th ese talks give the student a chance to learn more about your company, your
people and your work culture. Th e students can also learn about the opportunities for growth, learning and advancement that your
company off ers. Th ey can also form a fi rst-hand impression of your company and can make an informed decision about applying for
the placements. We have over the years found that senior executives are the most eff ective in delivering the PPTs and also making
a strong statement of commitment to recruiting from this institute. Th e PPTs can take place on any mutually convenient day. If the
company wishes to display some promotional material on campus, the fi nal form of the material can be sent to the Placement Offi ce,
which will arrange for its display.
Distributing the Published Material
An eff ective way of creating awareness about your company among the students is to provide them with information. Th e information
could be in the form of annual reports, company brochures, pamphlets, research material and other published information. Th e
placement offi ce will ensure distribution of such material amongst the students. Th e students could also be provided with live case
