The institute refused to provide separate summer placements data for the Business Management and PMIR batches. “We at XLRI as a policy don’t distinguish between BM and PMIR programmes and so we don’t release separate figures of BM/PMIR offers or any placement related details,” said a placements committee spokesperson.
The median stipend stands at Rs 42,500 per month. (The median includes the international stipend converted to Rupees. Further, seven companies have still not disclosed their stipends yet, so the institute has included last year’s stipend figures of these companies to calculate the median.)
