XLRI Jamshedpur Overview

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.

Who Should Choose XLRI Jamshedpur, and Who Should Check Twice?

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.

Is XLRI Jamshedpur Worth It, and What Does a Typical Student Earn?

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.

How to Check XLRI Jamshedpur Cutoff 2026

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.

Non-engineer, female and third gender8884

What XAT Score Opens the XLRI Jamshedpur Interview Call?

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.

Is It Difficult to Get Into XLRI Jamshedpur?

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.
