Data Confidence: 40%

We've flagged this program snapshot with a 40% confidence score. The fees, eligibility, and 2025 placement stats look solid, but curriculum details and recruiter lists can shift yearly. Hit up XLRI's admissions team or current students on LinkedIn to verify the latest before you commit.

The verdict

Strong fit

If you're gunning for a legacy HR pedigree, XLRI's PGDM-HRM is basically the dream. 100% placements, a ₹30.5 L average CTC, and a recruiter list that spans Google to Tata Steel make the ₹27.6 lakh fee a justifiable investment for serious HR aspirants. Just verify the latest batch stats given our medium confidence on this dataset.
