Jamshedpur
Updated on
XLRI Jamshedpur is a private autonomous Jesuit business school, and its main tension is the gap between headline pay and audited pay. It runs the two-year PGDM (BM) and PGDM (HRM), the 18-month PGDM (GM), the PGDM (LSCM) with Rutgers and the Fellow Programme. XLRI - Xavier School of Management, Jamshedpur also has a sister campus in Delhi-NCR. Most people who say XLRI mean the Jamshedpur campus and the BM or HRM diploma. This page covers XLRI Jamshedpur on that basis.
The institute film below is the official Platinum Jubilee film from the XLRI YouTube channel. It was uploaded in December 2024 for 75 years of XLRI Jamshedpur.

The XLRI Jamshedpur admission requirements for BM and HRM are a three-year bachelor's degree in any discipline. These XLRI Jamshedpur admission criteria hold for all candidates. There is no minimum percentage and no work experience rule. Final-year students can apply if their exams end by 11 June 2027. The PGDM (GM) needs three years of managerial experience as on 31 March 2027.
XLRI Jamshedpur placement for the 2024-26 batch covered 576 students and 145 recruiters, with a median of Rs 29 lakh. These XLRI Jamshedpur placement statistics and XLRI Jamshedpur placement details come from XLRI's release of 6 February 2026. The XLRI Jamshedpur average package was Rs 31.40 lakh.

The XLRI Jamshedpur highest placement package for 2024-26 is Rs 59 lakh for a domestic offer. An international offer reached Rs 1.10 crore. Very few students receive offers at this level, so plan around the median. XLRI Jamshedpur does not use the phrase 100% placement. In the audited 2023-25 batch, 583 of 590 eligible students sought placement through the institute, and all 583 accepted offers.
XLRI Jamshedpur is worth it if you want consulting, HR or banking and finance roles and can fund the fee. The audited report for the 2023-25 batch gives a guaranteed cash median of Rs 24,00,000 for 582 students, against the Rs 29 lakh headline median for the same batch. XLRI's release does not say how it counts pay, and the XLRI Jamshedpur audit reports total guaranteed cash. XLRI Jamshedpur has not yet published the audit for 2024-26, so use Rs 24 lakh as the cautious figure. As an illustration, the two-year fee of about Rs 30.6 lakh is about 1.3 times one year of that audited median, before tax and hostel costs.
| Sector, 2023-25 | Offers | Guaranteed cash median |
|---|---|---|
| Consulting | 162 | Rs 24,44,455 |
| Banking and financial services | 122 | Rs 24,00,000 |
| FMCG | 67 | Rs 28,97,104 |
| Information technology enabled services | 50 | Rs 20,24,660 |
The 2023-25 audit lists Mumbai (187), Delhi NCR (146) and Bengaluru (131) as the top work locations. The XLRI Jamshedpur placement page has the full sector, function and recruiter data.
You check the XLRI Jamshedpur cutoff on the press release XLRI publishes after the XAT scorecards come out. XLRI Jamshedpur announced the XAT 2026 bars on 30 January 2026, and the XLRI Jamshedpur cutoff 2027 will follow the XAT 2027 result. XLRI Jamshedpur sets them by gender and stream, with a bar for the total and for each section. The XLRI Jamshedpur cutoff marks are percentiles and not raw marks.
| Group | BM total | HRM total |
|---|---|---|
| Engineer or tech, male | 94 | 92 |
| Engineer or tech, female and third gender | 88 | 87 |
| Non-engineer, male | 94 | 90 |
| Non-engineer, female and third gender | 88 | 84 |
For the BM at XLRI Jamshedpur you need 94 as a male candidate and 88 as a female or third gender candidate, with sectional bars of 78 to 85. XLRI Jamshedpur HRM bars run from 84 to 92. The XLRI Jamshedpur bar is a minimum for the interview call, not a guarantee. The XLRI Jamshedpur previous year cutoff for 2025 was 96 for male BM candidates and 91 for female candidates. The XLRI Jamshedpur expected cutoff for XAT 2027 is not announced. The XLRI Jamshedpur cutoff page has the sectional bars and the 2024 to 2026 trend.
Yes, XLRI Jamshedpur is hard to enter for the BM and HRM. A 90 percentile meets the 2026 HRM bar for non-engineer male candidates and the BM bar for female candidates, but it misses the male BM bar of 94. Sectional bars also apply, and clearing the bar only earns you the interview call.
XLRI Jamshedpur lists 25 named scholarships, with about 45 awards from Rs 20,000 to Rs 5,00,000. This XLRI Jamshedpur scholarship information comes from the official page. XLRI Jamshedpur fees can be eased by these awards. The awards are made once a year, and a student gets one scholarship a year. Most named awards are for second-year students.
Aditya Birla (Rs 1,75,000), IDFC First Bank (8 awards, Rs 1,00,000 each) and Revolut Ira (Rs 5,00,000, for a girl student).
Mirae Asset Foundation (Rs 5,00,000 each, first year) and Pirojsha Godrej (Rs 25,000).

Awards of Rs 2,62,640 for SC, Rs 3,36,000 for ST and Rs 2,86,000 for OBC, EBC and DNT students.
XLRI Jamshedpur lists about 45 awards, and they cover fewer than 1 in 10 students. No named award covers the whole fee. XLRI Jamshedpur publishes no application form or deadline, so write to the admissions office. The XLRI Jamshedpur scholarship page lists every award.
XLRI Jamshedpur ranks 10th in NIRF 2025 (Management) with a score of 70.63, the latest India list. The XLRI Jamshedpur ranking 2027 will move only when the next list is out, and the XLRI Jamshedpur NIRF ranking 2027 is not published yet. The Financial Times ranks XLRI Jamshedpur 33rd for its Masters in Management in 2026, up from 58th. The XLRI Jamshedpur ranking in India is therefore 10th for management in NIRF.

XAT is the exam for the BM and HRM at XLRI - Xavier School of Management, Jamshedpur, and XLRI Jamshedpur shortlists on it alone. The XAT fee is Rs 2,300, plus Rs 200 for each XLRI Jamshedpur programme you choose. The XLRI Jamshedpur PGDM (GM) accepts XAT, GMAT or GRE. The FPM asks for UGC-NET or GATE, and the executive FPM also takes GRE, GMAT and CEED. NRI, foreign national, PIO and OCI candidates can apply through GMAT.
XAT has 95 questions in 180 minutes, with sections in verbal ability and logical reasoning, decision making, and quantitative ability and data interpretation. A general knowledge test of 20 questions follows. For the two-year BM or HRM in India, you need XAT 2027, and a poor score ends the route. The XLRI XAT page lists the steps.
