7 Things You Did Not Know About XLRI Jamshedpur

2. XL Mafia: The alumni network is called the XL mafia. Why? Simply because they are everywhere! (Not kidding.)

We meet our alum during Placement talks and alumni meets and hear so many stories from their time in college. It is a beautiful feeling to hear those stories and realise how much the college has changed over the years and how certain things will remain the same forever.

3. Bhasad: Anyone who has been a part of this institution lives by one line - "The bhasad never ends". No more, no less. When life puts you down, you get up, shake off the dust and remember this line and move on.

4. Student run campus: XLRI is a student-run campus. This means that students play an active role in deciding how things are run starting from the mess to the WiFi to the shops that are opened inside. This is done by the Student Affairs Council and various other committees on campus.

5. No Rangoli Making Course: Contrary to popular belief, XLRI does not offer any rangoli making course to the students of Human Resource Management. They are more focused on organizational behaviour, labour laws and ethics.

6. Green Campus: XLRI is a green campus with vehicles not allowed inside for students. There's an effective system of bicycles that can be picked up and dropped off at various points inside the campus, all free of cost. We also have our own Biogas plant which generates biogas from the food waste generated out of the student messes!

7. Oldest MBA college: XLRI is the oldest B-school in India. It was founded in 1949! I guess the founding fathers had an XL-lent understanding of future needs!

So, make up your minds and find your way to XL, folks! There's a lot more to know! ;)
