Season #5 of Summer Placement Reporting continues today with XLRI Jamshedpur. One of the best schools in India, XLRI has been sharing data with us
since 2012 and the general perception has always been very positive of the report being mostly accurate and largely transparent. It is also quite notable that many of the best recruiters are wiling to travel all the way to recruit at Jamshedpur (there is no direct flight anymore). It points to two things - 1) Quality of Students and the XLRI brand 2) The super-strong Alumni base of the oldest business school in India (1949 - although the BM programme was introduced much later)
XLRI has expanded the batch in the last 2 years and has managed to maintain the overall profile and quality of the summer recruitment. The report below is for both HR and BM at XLRI. Human Resources Tab can be see under most of the heads.
