Life At XLRI Jamshedpur - XLRI never sleeps
Nothing can be more accurate than this. I have been at the XLRI Campus for over a month, and my life at XLRI Jamshedpur has been bewildering. I am just amazed. I arrived at Jamshedpur on the 9th of June and moved into the Father McGrath Residence on the 14th of June. The next day, we had to attend the Famous “Tata Auditorium” for our induction and simultaneous Orientation. Entering the XLRI Jamshedpur Tata Auditorium and seeing magnum size gave me goosebumps. I had never expected to walk down the stairs my Heroes have, but here I was, exactly filling the shoes in.

Starting with the campus life at XLRI Jamshedpur, the Orientation was a week-long affair where we were made to do Non-Academical Activities. We had sessions on the “art of living” and various other interactive sessions. We were introduced to the academic program of XLRI Jamshedpur and were given a gist of our academic calendar. Later we met our Seniors and had a fun interactive session with them; our seniors gave us a head start on what would come in next with us starting our life at XLRI Jamshedpur.

XLRI doesn’t sleep, and yes, we are always awake. You can walk down your XLRI Hostel room at 3:30 AM in the morning and feel that it is 10 PM, some shops would be open, and you can go there to eat, gossip, or even rest. In XLRI, we are not allowed to use Combustion Vehicles; instead, we all use cycles to travel. Thus, I often go out early in the morning to cycle. The campus is vast, so that cycling can be an excellent leisure activity on campus. This promotes a very healthy life at XLRI Jamshedpur.

4. The XLRI campus never sleeps, so you can walk, jog or cycle at any time.

5. XLRI selection rate is 0.5 percent, so be ready to learn from the best and with the best.

6. Don’t get academically competitive as most of the marks depend on peer learning.

7. Networking is important, but Friendships are essential too. Find your group at whichever Business School you go.

8. Deadlines are Sacrosanct. Submit assignments and tasks on time. Always attend important meetings and presentations. Life at XLRI Jamshedpur definitely teaches you punctuality.

9. Business Schools are open to all kinds of people, but you need to be available to a Business School. Do not lose your identity to fit in.

10. You may not sleep well for the first semester so come prepared for that experience.
Business School can overwhelm; it is essential to know that everyone is feeling the same as you are, so always reach out if you get anxious.
