How are the XLRI GMP placements for candidates who came from a non-IT background?

Shivalika Sharmastudying B. Tech from Banasthali Vidyapeeth (2019).

XLRI is a really good institute to go for. The ethos, culture, and diversity are all enigmatic. One of my friends studying there suggests that you can learn and grow simultaneously.

Placements for non-IT background students are comparatively less. Usually, the domain consultant role is offered.
These domain consultants also get a chance to go abroad for further work experience.
Nowadays, companies are also hiring, even being unsure about the candidate’s past work experience.
You just evolve as your potential individuality begins to blossom. This is the most significant advantage of being in XLRI.
Academics and case studies are generally the same across the board.
The admissions process is a little stringent and filters out the “right” individuals.

Placement stats:

Categories	GMP at XLRI
Top recruiters	Accenture, Aditya Birla Group, AgroTech, Airtel, Amazon.com, Capgemini, IBM, HCL, etc.
Average salary package	19.6 LPA
Highest salary package	48 LPA
Median salary package	19 LPA
Course Fee	20.95 lakh

It is not a disadvantage to not be an engineer. A consulting career requires more analytical ability, business awareness, and thought process.

All you have to do is work a little harder to achieve your goals. So, go ahead and start preparing for your career and you'll make it. Ultimately your performance will matter rather than being an IT or a non-IT background.

What is the average package of an MBA in XLRI Jamshedpur?

Is there anyone who remains unplaced from old IIM, XLRI, FMS Delhi, and NITIE? Is it possible to be?

Hira RamchandaniMBA in Human Resources & Strategy, Xavier School of Management (Graduated 2011)

Top B-Schools have created an Invincible persona and have successfully marketed it over the years; however, there is now a demand-supply mismatch, with seats at all B-Schools almost doubling or tripling in the last decade, and a slew of new IIMs or branches of top colleges such as MDI Murshidabad, IIFT Kolkata, NITIE, FMS Delhi, and XLRI Delhi. The colleges will suffer as a result of the lack of job offers from top companies. The only increase can be attributed to recently funded startups that have started hiring from these colleges by offering outrageous packages.

There are students who are unable to be placed during the normal Summers / Finals process, but these colleges use their star alumni base to place the remaining 5-8 students in companies cofounded by the alums or through alums who have been placed in top positions in traditional corporates.

How are the placements for engineers with no work experience at the IIMs, FMS Delhi and XLRI?

Tarun AnandMBA in Finance, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2019)

The two most important factors considered by recruiters during Placements at IIM ABC/FMS/XLRI are

Brand of UG College - SRCC/Old IITs/BITS/CA
High Academics - University RankHolders, City Toppers in Boards, or at least Department Rank Holders with 8.5+ in Engineering.

MBA scores are of much importance during Final Placements but are Not available during summer placement.

If you have passed the above criteria, you are most likely to land any job. Still, I have segregated the roles that require work experience and the roles that do not.

Roles that require work experience

Operations/Supply chain/product management.
Any role will require work experience if your above 2 criteria are not up to the mark.

Roles that do not require work experience

Consulting
Investment Banking
PE/VC
Marketing
Corporate Finance roles

So most of the jobs do not require work experience. Even if they do only non-engineering work experience is of value unless you want to go into Operations/Supply chain/product management.

Which are the dream companies for an XLRI HRM student?

Hariharan RagunathanStudied at Xavier School of Management (2018)

A dream company depends upon your choice and where your interest lies. Typically, HR Consulting, IR, Manufacturing, or Line HR Roles are more popular.

If you are interested in HR Consulting then Hay group, Accenture consulting are considered a dream as both of these companies pay significantly higher than other companies like Mercer or Hewitt.

If your interest lies in IR or Manufacturing then FMCG companies like P&G, Unilever, ITC, Asian Paints, etc should be your dream companies.

If you are interested in Line HR or corporate HR only then Novartis, Stan Chat, Microsoft, or other big banks and the Software or product based companies etc. are considered dream companies. Novartis offered their position in Switzerland so it was a dream for many students.

Despite this, some students may be more interested in joining startups and building systems from scratch than in joining existing companies.
