XLRI has 120 seats each in its two-year flagship programs - Business Management & PMIR; and 120 seats in the one-year General Management Program.
Business Management Programme
XLRI offers a two-year full time programme on Business Management, on the completion which, candidates are conferred with Postgraduate diploma in Business Management (PGDBM). Started in 1968, this programme is extremely prestigious and is rated as one of the finest of its kind in the country. The alumni of this programme currently occupy very significant positions in various industries, both in India and abroad.
The curriculum lays the foundation for a conceptual and analytical understanding of Indian and international business. XLRI's BM programme is designed to closely integrate current management theory and practice. The course imparts knowledge and fosters attitudes essential for the growth of students into competent, responsible managers. The course has an evolving programme content and is constantly updated to be in tune with the emerging trends.
Personnel Management and Industrial Relations
The Institute offers a two-year full time Programme in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations on the completion of which, students are conferred with Postgraduate Programme in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations. The PMIR course is the oldest and the most prestigious of the Institute's teaching programmes.
The major thrust areas are Human Resource Planning, Human Resource Information Systems, Selection, Performance Management, Training and Development, Compensation Administration and fostering harmonious employer-employee relationships in the framework of state regulations.
Besides the courses directly related to PM and IR, the programme also includes a series of courses in various functional areas of management. Being a specialized programme it does not provide for further specialization. Students choose an appropriate mix of elective courses according to their preferences. Graduates of this programme are qualified for executive positions in Human Resources Development, Personnel Management, industrial Relations, Labour Welfare and other related areas.
General Management Program (GMP)
GMP,one of the flagship programmes run by XLRI along with BM & PMIR, is a one year full-time residential program.Candidates applying for One Year General Management programme must hold a minimum of three years Bachelor's Degree from a recognized University in India/abroad in any discipline, be employed in a full-time job, must have at least five years of relevant managerial experience. Prospective students can apply to GMP through either XAT or GMAT. The shortlisted students are then interviewed by a panel of two or three professors mostly drawn from the XLRI faculty. Diversity of work experience and high GMAT score are the most important selection criteria.
The programme consists of core and optional courses designed for fast track executives with work experience. They provide the essentials of management education with the flexibility of individual exploration in their chosen area of interest. The core courses are categorized into seven major areas, Finance and Accounts, Marketing, Production and Operation, Information Systems, Human Resource Management and Organizational Behaviour, Economics, and Strategy.Completion of the core courses makes the way for the elective courses, chosen by the participants, helping them to further their areas of interest.
International exposure is a three weeks international cross cultural project which exposes the participants to international perspective of business, so that the participants can effectively function in an environment different from their “home culture”.
XLRI has evolved this one year consolidated programme in general management with the objectives of providing the practicing managers a substantial exposure to theoretical foundations in management as well as to provide them a holistic perspective of business in such a way that they are not only equipped with tools and techniques to perform their task effectively but also to shoulder greater responsibilities in the future as they move up the hierarchy.
