Life at XL is a vibrant blend of class lectures, study sessions, management fests and competitive sports meets. But what makes XLRI different is its unique culture and a closely-knit student community that paves the way for friendships and comradeship. Despite the academic rigour and competition that a student faces, XL harbors an environment of warmth and togetherness. A fresher within no time becomes a part of the student fraternity. This unique phenomenon called the XL culture builds a hectic yet heady concoction of work and play. As all programmes are residential, the seniors and juniors share an amicable relation. It is hence no surprise that XLRI has the most extensive alumni network among all Indian B-schools. The institute makes consistent and conscious efforts to emphasize on the significance of teamwork, be it through group projects, assignments, student committees or multiple competitions and sports activities that are held in campus. This environment of collaboration and cooperation has been carefully nurtured over the years which makes XLer's excellent team players and leaders in every organization that they become a part of. One of the key distinguishing factors of XLRI is its emphasis on ethics and social responsibility, which are instilled in the DNA of the institute. The institute is highly regarded in the corporate world for its efforts to create competent and responsible business leaders. The institute also provides guidance to students who want to become social entrepreneurs. Life at XL is brimming with multiple experiences; from conferences, guest lectures, seminars and workshops where a student is exposed to diverse views and opinions of the greatest minds in the world of business to committee activities where a student learns management lessons beyond academics. Life at XL is not merely limited to academics but provides a holistic experience to the students. A student irrespective of his/her stream, will never fall short of opportunities to explore their interests. Innovation is religion at XL and a little initiative can take you a long way. The formal and informal committees at XLRI take full advantage of this freedom and involve the in numerous activities that allows them to experiment and explore new management avenues.
