XLRI to double GMP intake for 2008-09

Jamshedpur, May 12 Premier B-school XLRI is set to double its intake of candidates for the one-year general management programme (GMP) course, from around 53 last year to over 100, for the 2008-09 academic session.
"XLRI is also planning to expand international exposure for the students through tieups with major universities across the globe," said Father Abraham, director XLRI, speaking at the graduation ceremony for the 2007-08 batch.
According to associate dean (GMP & defence programmes) Pranabesh Ray, the B-school had selected only 61 out of the 1,552 valid applications it had received for its 2007-08 GMP batch.
XLRI has been increasingly attracting managerial talent for its GMP course from across the country. The ratio of the number of applicants spurted 152% for the 2007-08 session.
The B-school has enriched its GMP course recently by reducing number of core courses to 14 by introducing long-duration courses for an integrated coverage of the subject. In addition, the number of optional courses has been increased from 12 to 16.
Besides focusing on basics as well as advanced concepts of management, the course also provides international exposure in the form of internship and projects.
XLRI's 53-student batch of 2007-08 session received 101 job offers from 54 Companies, as against 23 last year, in completion of their course. The average salary of the batch for global and domestic assignments increased by 20 to 30% at $1,30,000 and Rs 17.8 lakh, respectively.</I></B>

Hi abcIndia,

ThanQ for a such an informative thread and taking time to answer the queries.

I am looking forward to attend the 1year program at XLRI starting 2009. I am giving my GMAT in Aug and 2009 May, I should be completing 5 year work experience.

1) Is the work experience sufficient?
2) Is only GMAT required or do i need to take another exam?

Thanks
Rav

1) Is the work experience sufficient?

I dont think it will be a problem if your profile is good ..In our batch there are many people with 5 years exp. I have seen people with 10+ years getting a rejection and people with just 5 years exp get thru. It all depends on your overall profile and the value you can add to the batch.

2) Is only GMAT required or do i need to take another exam?

GMAT is sufficient.

GMAT is sufficient.

Per the eligiblity criterian this year, it was 5 yrs as on 31 March 2008. In your case it might be 2 month less than 5 as on 31 march unless the criterian is changed next year.
In any case, you could drop the adcom a mail for your specific case.

This year adcom has strictly followed the dictum of 5 years experience on 31st March'08. However, I think the borderline cases like yours may be seen sympathetically. So, please send a formal letter to adcom regarding this.

Hi Vikram! For XLRI you need to have 5 years experience on 31st March of application year. So, you have to wait for 2 years if you are interested in XLRI. In the same way IIMA requires 7 years work ex as minimum requirement. However, you may try ISB (2 years minimum requirement) or SP Jain.

With Best Wishes.
