XLRI, a premier B school of India and the best in Asia for HR, and this feature makes it the dream place to be in. What is unique and different in XLRI with respect to other B Schools is the fact that from this place one carries 390 friends and not just acquaintances, which are 130 seniors, 130 batch mates and 130 juniors. It is the place where, apart from learning all the fundas of MBA one also develops so many relationships and friends. Here the students are not just after money and marks, but are after more than this. Ask someone in IIMs and he will not be able to tell the names of this batch mates only forget about knowing them (No offences made against other B Schools, just an observation during annual B school events where people don’t even know their batch mates). XLRI makes you highly professional but not individualist, list the other premier B Schools, so if one wants to be professional with a difference, be there in XLRI.
When I portray the institute to be so great, mind you the road is not an easy one. Xavier’s Aptitude Test (XAT) is one of the toughest tests of its kind. What makes it so tough is the time allocation towards each section of the test. As such one just cant leverage on his/her strength areas but instead need to show a good level of command over various areas.
A tough entrance examination ensure that along with the best of the class faculty, one also gets the best of the class batch mates.
The place ensures that each and every student gets the best of education possible form the best faculty members and in the most conducive environment.
