XLRI successfully placed 299 students in the Class of 2014. 99 PPOs in a batch of 299 students (1/3rd of the batch) is a good number. XLRI continues to be among the top few schools that offer a balanced mix of profiles across various functions and sectors.
Overall, the Banking & Finance scene is far better than last year. There are some recruiters that visit XLRI exclusively like Rothschild. Standards Chartered always prefers to recruit from XLRI given the strong alumni connections. Goldman Sachs, Citibank, DBS, Avendus Capital, Edelweiss are other popular names.
Consulting is very strong too. Unlike last year, Mckinsey & Co. has not recruited at XLRI. However, sought after names like BCG (recruited for the 5th consecutive year), Accenture Strategy, Deloitte S & O, KPMG etc. more than make up for it. There is no dearth of opportunities for XLRI students. TAS, Aditya Birla Group lead the top names in the General Management domain that hire from XLRI.
FMCG at XLRI is very strong and the data below shows that. However, it is again the Technology and E-Commerce companies that will arrest everyone's attention - Amazon, Uber, Google, Microsoft, Flipkart, Ola Cabs, Quikr, Samsung. It just keeps getting better.
The Human Resources roles are given in each of the sectors. As expected from the best HR campus of the country, the results are superb for HRM students.
