What would you prefer from IIM-A, B, C, and XLRI Jamshedpur for management courses?
All four are the best, most renowned, highly established business schools in the country. Though to be a part of one of them will be dependent on various factors
Order of choice (highest to lowest)
- Peer group: All of them give you a network of the sharpest and brightest minds, so all in the same boat.
- Culture: IIM C, XLRI, IIM B & A tie at the same spot (personal opinion completely).
- Location: Depends from person to person, so this is a ranking you'll have to do for yourself.
- Specialization: Depends on what specialization you're looking for. IIM Ahmedabad gives you the best for Consulting, IIM Calcutta for finance.
- Gut feeling: This is again, very personal, depending on what your dream college was when you started out.
- Other criteria like packages, internships, fees, etc. won't be a differentiation in these because all of them would give you very similar job profiles, and CTC and have marginally different fees.
Ultimately, the institution that you choose should align with your career goals and aspirations. It's important to research and compare each institution carefully before making a decision.

The program is relatively new and began just five years ago so you can expect that the placements would not be the best yet. A friend of mine struggled quite a lot to get placed even a few months after the program ended.
If you are not ready to take this sort of risk, you should evaluate your parameters before going ahead and taking any decision.
I have 90% in 10th, 93% in 12th, and 60% in graduation. Do I have a chance of getting into XLRI?
XLRI can be achieved by converting the XAT scores. But for that, the score must be higher than the 99.4 percentile. If the conversion is not the priority, then an interview call could be thereby obtaining a higher 98 percentile. So learn the priorities well.
- XLRI doesn't have high criteria and cut-offs like IIMs have.
- They don't focus on academics as such.
- The main thing is that a student should pass and qualify the sectional requirements and should be able to attain the overall percentile.
- Once attained, the interview process would be started.
- The results will be based on the performance of the interview. Make your interview count.
There is less weightage of work experience also. The experience doesn't matter that much. But to have the knowledge and experience in one's own domain will lead you to explore the subject more and go into the depths.
Does XLRI Jamshedpur offer summer internships to undergraduate students?
Shall I go for PGDBM from NMIMS, or shall I go for PGCBM from XLRI, Jamshedpur? Please feel free to advice any other course, apart from these two related to EMBA. I have 5 plus years of experience.
XLRI has a strong reputation for Human Resource (HR) management and Industrial Relations (IR) studies. If an individual is specifically interested in HR/IR, then XLRI would be a better option compared to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies). However, if you are looking for a general management program, then NMIMS would be a better choice because of its excellent peer group and rigorous curriculum.
XLRI is still a good institute for other streams, but it is more specialized in HR and IR. Similarly, NMIMS is known for its general management program, and it may not have the same level of expertise as XLRI in HR/IR.
Which MBA degree and college will be better for a career in the long run, personal development, networking, placement XLRI Jamshedpur HRM, XLRI Delhi BM and XIMB BM?

The HRM course at XLRI Jamshedpur is the best in Asia. They receive incredible placements, and the profiles they get are better than any other HR programme in India.

The recent appointment of Leena Nair as Chanel's global CEO is an illustration of how their graduates (XL HR) have performed.
