XLRI School of Business and Human Resources plans to expand its
footprint in the country by setting up a campus in Delhi. Plans are also
afoot to set up a second campus in Jamshedpur. Both these campuses will
entail a total investment of about Rs 110 crore.
According to E. Abraham, Director, XLRI, the second campus in Jamshedpur
will provide an additional 120 seats for business and human resource
management courses, while the Delhi campus, which is to come up in the
National Capital Region, will accommodate close to 120 students in its
first phase.
The institute has an intake of 240 students a year at present at its existing facility in Jamshedpur.
“The second campus at Jamshedpur will be ready by 2013, while the first
phase of the Delhi campus will be ready by 2014-15,” Abraham said at a
press meet to unveil the new brand identity and logo of XLRI here on
Saturday.
New Course
Apart from expanding its geographical presence, XLRI also plans to add new course into its offerings.
The institute has launched a global MBA programme in partnership with
Weatherhead School of Management of Case Western University in
Cleveland, USA, and School of Economics and Management of Tongji
University in Shanghai, China.
The two-year full time residential global MBA course will commence from June 2013.
Under the programme, each B-school will admit 20 students from its
country (India, China and US). The course will be held in three parts —
in Jamshedpur, Shanghai and Cleveland.
Brand Identity
XLRI had roped in Water, the branding and design consultancy of the DDB Mudra Group, for designing the new brand identity.
“The new brand identity represents the institute’s clear focus and
direction that allow greater freedom for the brand to grow nationally
and globally,” he said.
