XLRI - Xavier School of Management

Over the years, XLRI has developed its own distinct identity. Established in 1949, XLRI is the oldest management school in India. The hallmark of this identity is, not to walk on the beaten path, but to strike new routes; not to benchmark, but to be benchmarked; to be second to none, but to be the first to respond to the needs of the people and the nation; taking up tasks that are bold, but necessary, that which nobody has hitherto taken up. This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessed throughout the history of XLRI. XLRI has always had and maintains a global outlook. We were the first among management schools in India to internationalize our academic programmes. Renowned personalities, distinguished industrialists, academicians, and stewards of Jamshedpur Jesuit Society have been part of the institute as Board of Governors, leaders and administrators, teachers and guides. True to its vision, XLRI strives to offer an education that just does not culminate in a mere degree, but one that inspires future business leaders to respond to the unmet needs of society. A key characteristic that sets apart XLRI students from other management schools is MAGIS - a quest for the best, never to settle for mediocrity, and always to aspire to excel.
