XLRI has recently concluded its placement drive for the batch 2022, with an impressive 100% placement rate. A total of 99 selection representatives participated in the drive, including 23 new recruiters. The highest CTC (Cost to Company) offered was INR 60 Lakhs per annum, which was presented by the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector. The average CTC offered was INR 30.73 Lakhs per annum and the median CTC was INR 29 Lakhs per annum. Additionally, around 40.28% of students received pre-placement offers.
The institution also released its placement report for the batch 2019-21, where the highest CTC offered was INR 50 Lakhs per annum, the average CTC was INR 25.08 Lakhs per annum and the median CTC was INR 23 Lakhs per annum.

The institution has thus demonstrated a consistent record of providing its students with opportunities to secure high-paying jobs and internships with top companies.
I have a colleague who is an alumnus of XLRI, and as per him, the placements at the institutes are inflated. Certainly, the top 20-30% of students do get good placement offers. But the median and average CTC information provided by the institute are not authentic.
Here are the official placement statistics of XLRI for the academic year 2020.
Average CTC |
25 LPA |
Highest CTC |
50 LPA |
Median CTC |
23 LPA |
It’s not rare to find XLRI graduates applying for 6-8 LPA jobs. I know someone from XLRI, who got a 22 LPA package at a Mumbai-based company but his actual in-hand salary was only 11.2 LPA. There are many such examples.
