Hullo! You can apply either through XAT or GMAT.
If you are applying through GMAT,
XAT / XLRI Online Registration
For applying through XAT,
XAT / XLRI Online Registration
Do reply if you need any more info.

Life@XL just got more hectic, with mid-terms!! 
Takeaways so far:
1. Economics ke liye padhna bekaar hai! :neutral:
2. If you're an atheist, it's time to change sides quickly.
XL ki kudiyaan hi nahin, munde bhi very very smart hain. 
Aisa main nahin keh raha 
kudiyaan hi keh rahi hain. :biggrin:
Had a project presentation today, and am proud to say that our group FLOORED the class. 
1 quiz, 2 mid terms, 4 assignments, 2 presentations, 1 rural visit.
10 days and poor ol' me
WHY MBA??? :(

The rural visit was awesome...we stayed at a convent in rural Jharkhand for 2 nights and 3 days. Seriously, it was a very different experience.
After visiting there, one realizes how false the image of India growing at 9% per annum is. There are people who are living with no electricity, no water, no medical facilities and no means of livelihood. To add to that, there are no pucca roads. And the Naxalite menacejust adds to the problem. Most people we met were agriculturists depending on rain-water for paddy crops, and barely producing enough to eat. Drinking water, one could get from a river only a kilometre away. Of course, in summers, the distance would be as much as 10 km.
Still, those folks welcomed us, answered all our questions with smiles, and shared whatever little they had with us. In fact, they even invited us to stay the night.
Looking at the hard lives that these people lead, led me to realize what a sheltered life I have. For someone who starts cribbing if the power goes off for a minute, or the internet/cellphone stops working, it was quite a reality check.
I surely came back from the trip, with more knowledge, more learning of how people survive. I hope the daily rigor of life doesn't grind the memory of those people slogging it out into oblivion, and someday, sometime, I get to do something to help them.
Amen!!
Hell!! This place is deader than a cemetery....maybe that's why I keep haunting it like its resident ghost. 
The poor Bummers are busy with what is known as the '7-night-out' assignment. And me being the quintessential sadist that I am, I make it a point to cheerfully greet each one of them and ask them how life is. :biggrin:
(Sometimes I also let slip that our class doesn't have as much on our respective plates. )

Dude... one of those assignments wasn't just an assignment... It was something we cant explain...
But we did learn something...
We learned how to create suspense accounts...

Vasudha doing DCP again... :2gunfire: :laugh: :argue:
Manan, DCP is an important part of life as an MBA student. Such skills need to be practised and honed further. 
I think all of us could use some practice.
Hi Sumit,
Can u tell in detail wat the rural visit/project was all about ??
Apart from peeking into the rural lives.
Was it just related to get to know about their daily life or something related to management.
No offences howsoever.

Hi Sumit,

The rural visit was aimed at showing us - the future managers, a picture of the 'real' India, and how many of our citizens live.
In addition, we have a course on Social Responsibility, under which, we are supposed to complete a project outlining how we at XL can make a difference to the lives of the villagefolk.
It is something that is taken very seriously, and our Social Initiative Group for Managerial Assistance (SIGMA) is very active in collaborating with NGOs to make a difference to society.
Thank you for showing an interest in our activities, and do let me know if I've left anything unanswered. 😃

Looks like XLRI has its own way of shaking you'll up to the reality life is and the bubble we live in. Way to go ! :)
Great to hear this. I think we need our business schools to take this aspect of exposing us folks to life beyond business and bottomlines seriously. You'll have the rural visit, we have STI and the social project next year. Here also, the competition continues 😉 Kidding.... :)
I hope XLers don't mind me dropping by in 'their' space :eh:
Cheers,
Harshad
Harshad, thanks for dropping by. I thought I was the only one who went across to other b-school threads. :sneaky:
But yes, I think it is important to study social responsibility, and understand it, so that perhaps, someday, sometime, we may be able to contribute to inclusive growth for our country. 😃

Cant blv it :O

With mid-terms looming large like the sword of Damocles, over our heads, yes, it does seem like 'it's all coming to an end' but abhi to 5 terms aur hain. :banghead:That means, lots of more nails in our coffins.
And of course, so far, life at XL has been good, but this last week of the first term does sound gruelling.
cmon.. sumit..
I meant dis term..
N moreover our mid terms are over 😃
cmon.. sumit..

Whoops!! See, thanks to the routine (or lack of it), I'm demented, delirious, deranged, deluded, and demotivated...
....I hope after the end-terms are over, I won't be disappointed, disillusioned, disturbed, or distressed.
:banghead:

Exams make one really philosophical...
Random philosophical thought:
During exam season, 'life' and 'XLRI' are mutually exclusive. There is no intersection between the two.
Can anyone tell me/us :
Which subjects do students at XLRI have in this current trisemester.
And about the exam structure in brief.
