XLRI HRM — Deloitte HR Consulting, Jesuit values, peer group intensity

Choosing XLRI for HRM was a straightforward decision — there is no other top-tier B-school where HR is a flagship programme with the same placement infrastructure as BM. The Deloitte HR Consulting process was rigorous but the preparation ecosystem at XLRI handled it well. The Jesuit values thread through everything — ethics, empathy, and rigour.

BCG from XLRI — consulting track rivals IIM-A and IIM-B

XLRI's consulting track is genuinely competitive with IIM-A and IIM-B. BCG, EY-Parthenon, Accenture Strategy — the quality of firms coming to campus is at the same level. The case culture, the Consult Club, and senior alumni mentorship made BCG preparation manageable. Career outcomes have validated XLRI fully.

Bloomberg terminal, BFSI placements, 34% PPO — underrated at XLRI

The Bloomberg terminal access and quality of Finance electives at XLRI are underrated. Goldman Sachs and American Express actively recruit here. The 34% PPO rate speaks to the quality of the summer internship — I converted my Kotak internship before final placements even started.
