Enright visualized XLRI to be a partner in the liberation and development journey of the independent India with a vision of renewing the face of the earth. Fr. Bill Tome joined hands with him to bring that vision to fruition. Both, together with the other Jesuit companions, worked tirelessly towards translating the Vision Renewing the face of the earth into action. During the rst seven years of growth, several courses of management and trade unions were developed and organized by the institute. In the year 1953, the 2 year full time industrial relations program was started which is now the most widely acclaimed Personal Management and Industrial Relation (PM & IR) course.

Placements
The Placement Oce is managed by the Placement Committee which consists of student representatives. A placement Chairperson is selected from the faculty. The activities of the Placement Committee include coordinating for the Summer Internship Program, the Lateral Recruitment Program & the Campus Recruitment Program. It corresponds with the prospective employers, arranges Pre-Placement Talks and Personal Interviews on campus and provides all the facilities required by the visiting companies.

Building Campus Presence

A successful recruiting eort is possible only when the students know you better. XLRI oers you many opportunities to help build a good corporate image among the students. The following are our recommendations for the same.

Pre-placement Talks (PPTs)

The pre-placement talks are presentations organized by the company on the college campus. Over the years, they have become the primary forums for company-student interaction. These talks give the student a chance to learn more about your company, your people and your work culture. The students can also learn about the opportunities for growth, learning and advancement that your company oers. They can also form a rst-hand impression of your company and can make an informed decision about applying for the placements. We have over the years found that senior executives are the most eective in delivering the PPTs and also making a strong statement of commitment to recruiting from this institute. The PPTs can take place on any mutually convenient day. If the company wishes to display some promotional material on campus, the nal form of the material can be sent to the Placement Oce, which will arrange for its display.

Distributing the Published Material

An eective way of creating awareness about your company among the students is to provide them with information. The information could be in the form of annual reports, company brochures, pamphlets, research material and other published information. The placement oce will ensure distribution of such material amongst the students. The students could also be provided with live case studies. This could be done by conducting Case Contests. A panel comprising company executives with/without XLRI faculty could evaluate the student presentations.

Conferences, Workshops, Academic Fairs

Various events, speaker series, panel discussions, conferences, workshops and academic fairs can be organized in which your company may participate directly or contribute through partnerships. Institute scholarships and awards can also be sponsored by your company as a way to express your companies commitment to excellence in the student community at XLRI.

Sponsoring Projects
Projects are an integral part of the academic curriculum at XLRI. Over the years, many students have taken up live projects with many organizations. This provides the students involved, a basic understanding of the companys operations. It also raises your companies prole among students and the faculty.

Summer Internship Process

The placement process consists of the following stages: The company conducts a Pre-Placement Talk. The resumes of the interested candidates are sent to the company. The student body ranks the companies under the supervision of the faculty chairperson. The company is informed of the day on which interviews have been scheduled based in the ranking. The company sends a shortlist of students and the Recruitment Process details to the Placement Oce.

The Pre-Placement Talk

The company conducts the recruitment process in the Scheduled Placement Slot. Companies are encouraged to give pre-placement talks well before the recruitment process begins. This helps the student in making an informed choice about the organization. Ideally, the PPT must include: Company Prole Projects on oer Compensation details Possible openings in the next year

Student Resumes
Companies have the option of circulating their customized application forms amongst candidates, or accepting personalized resumes from the shortlisted candidates.

Recruitment Process
The company shall inform the Placement Oce about the following details well in advance. The Method of Recruitment (Preliminary Test, GD, Interview, Case etc.) Number of Rounds of the GD and group size Number of rounds of Interview Approximate duration of the GDs and Interviews

The Ranking
The following parameters are used to rank the companies: Past record of recruitment Relationship of the company with the institute Career growth opportunities in the company Compensation oered Market performance of the company Alumni feedback Since the slot arrived at is a collective decision of the students, no request for the change of slots shall be entertained.

Important Information
The Placement Committee, in consultation with the student body and the faculty, arrives at the norms of the placement process. The committee reserves the right to modify any such norms, where such norms are in the overall interest of the candidates participating in the process. In the event of any conict in the interpretation and implementation of the norms, the decision of the Placement Committee shall be binding on the students and the companies.
