I feel proud and happy to introduce you to XLRI and welcome you to this prestigious institution.
XLRI was established in 1949, soon after India gained Independence, and united itself in spirit and action with the patriots
and great leaders of India in building the nation. Its focus has been on mentoring the youth to become responsible and
committed leaders who can shape the future of this country. XLRI continues to hold the same vision – to produce leaders
who are effcient and have a sensitive social conscience.
Excellence and integrity are the guiding motto of XLRI, resulting from the Jesuit principle of magis – ever greater, ever
better. We try to translate excellence through academics, personal values and social sensitivity. Our aim is to mould our
students into ‘change agents’ who can work for the betterment of the poor and the marginalised.
We are here to help you grow into self-disciplined and socially responsible individuals. Xlers are the most sought-after
managers in the corporate sector. Our alumni across the world have scaled great heights in their respective felds and
are considered to be synonymous with excellence.
XLRI strives to meet the educational needs of various segments of students by offering a variety of management- centric
programmes. Our fagship programmes include two-year Postgraduate Programme in Business Management and in

USA) and School of Economics and Management, Tongji University (Shanghai, China), three-year, part-time PGDM in
Business Management in Jamshedpur and multiple one-year, part-time satellite programmes. Prospective students can
choose any programme according to their need and preference.
I welcome you to Jamshedpur, the frst planned city of India, the cleanest and the most hospitable one. The city has
excellent sports and recreational facilities to offer.
Our campus boasts of state-of-the-art facilities that encourage learning. Our new collaborative programmes are slowly
paving the way for XLRI to become a truly global institute that can promote a comprehensive exchange of ideas and
culture. I am confdent that your time at XLRI will be both enjoyable and rewarding, providing you with knowledge and

THE GENESIS AND
JOURNEY
OVER 60 YEARS
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.
4
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 God’s 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 frst 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 frst to
internationalise its programmes. Renowned personalities
have been a part of the institute 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 satisfed 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 refected 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 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, one’s 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 mark its 50th year of service to
the executive world, XLRI started a three-year Executive
Post Graduate Programme in Dubai. A two-year, full-time
programme on Global MBA with two renowned schools
– School of Economics & Management, Tongji University,
Shanghai, China and Weatherhead School of Management
at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA – was
launched in 2013.
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 Certifcate in Business Management was
started in 2002 and Postgraduate Certifcate in Human
Resource Management in 2003. Postgraduate Certifcate
in Logistics and Supply Chain Management was added
to the portfolio of satellite-based porgrammes in
2005. Postgraduate Certifcate in Sales and Marketing
Management and Postgraduate Certifcate in Retail
Management were also added in 2007.
The Master of Science Programme in Positive Organisation
Development and Change (MPOD), pioneered by the
Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western
Reserve University (Cleveland, USA), is offered in partnership
with XLRI Jamshedpur. The 15-month programme
specifcally caters to the needs of executives and change
agents from around the world who face increasing
complexity and growing challenges of interconnectedness
in multicultural contexts.

the best organisations of today. In order to satisfy this thirst
for knowledge XLRI has evolved a 15-month consolidated
programme in general management. The programme is
deisgned to introduce the practicing managers to theoretical
foundations of management and give them a holistic
perspective of business. The General Management Programme
not only equips the executives with techniques and strategies
to perform their task effectively but also trains them to
shoulder greater responsibilities.
The institute awards the Postgraduate Diploma in Management
[General Management] to the participants who successfully
complete all the requirements of this programme.

Curricula
The AICTE recognised 15-month programme currently consists
of core and optional/elective courses specially designed for
fast track executives with work experience. They provide the
essentials of management education with the fexibility of
individual exploration in their chosen area of interest. The
entire programme spans for about 750 minimum and 850
maximum contact hours in class. The programme encourages,
supports and provides enough scope to the participants for self
study.
The programme starts with induction for initiating
the participants with XLRI’s culture and refreshing the
fundamentals for better appreciation of the courses to follow.
Thereafter the participants undergo the core courses as
building blocks essential for management education. Currently
the core courses are categorised into seven major areas,

Sciences, Information Systems, Human Resource Management
and Organisational Behaviour, Economics and Strategic
Management, providing not only the essentials of management
but also the core functional skills. The core course curriculum
also includes soft skills workshop, industry interfaces and

Successful completion of the core courses paves the way for
the elective courses, chosen by the participants, helping them
to further their areas of interest. Our effort has always been to

areas of relevance in grooming tomorrow’s business leaders.
These are organised into six functional areas of Finance,

Resource Management, Information Systems, Economics

among coach, executive, and the executive’s
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 can collectively go even beyond
our Competency Model: psychology,
organisation development, business, and
coaching. Organisations that have used
XLRI’s 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
feld for the mutual beneft of leaders,
organizations, and the people and societies
they serve.
Research and
Innovation Cell
The aim of the XLRI’s 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 confdentiality and mutual
trust.
35
Research & Publication
Research provides a major interface with the wider
academic and business world. It provides new theoretical
frameworks that enable re-assessment and refnement
of current practices and thinking. Groundbreaking
interdisciplinary research by the faculty and doctoral
students feeds directly into an enhanced learning
environment at the Institute and indirectly to a
wider audience of practicing managers and teachers
of management. It strengthens teaching efforts of
faculty by refecting the frontier s of knowledge
in different management domains. By integrating
current developments of business environment with
fundamentals of subjects, the students develop a holistic
perspective of business and the challenges lying before
them. The diversity and depth of research and publication
activity undertaken at XLRI during 2014-15 is evident
from the report.

CAMPUS LIFE
AT XLRI
38
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
tomorrow’s 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 fnds 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.
