The academic year consists of three Terms. The average duration of each Term will be
approximately 12 to 14 weeks. The schedule for the courses is as follows:
Approximately 6 to 9 courses will be taught in each term where the course inputs will be
given in about 15 hours duration by faculty. In the remaining period in each term, a
student is expected to complete the assignments and projects and spend time in
understanding the inputs given during the courses by faculty members. While short
quizzes, mid term examinations, presentations and other components of evaluation as
announced by each faculty will be conducted during the course he/she facilitates, the end
term examination of the course will be held on an announced date after the delivery of the
course is complete. The course will be taught twice a week, which translates to three hours
a day and six hours in a week. This schedule will help the students to cope up with their
professional commitments and the course requirements.

Registration

New students are required to register by paying a registration (first installment) fee as
mentioned in the admission letter, and submit the supporting documents related to their
academic qualifications and work experience. However, at any later date if it is found that
the information provided by the student was false, he/she will not only be expelled from

Final Project

Final Project or Dissertation is the last subject of the programme i.e, at the end of term-
III. The Final Project Paper is intended to encourage the students to take up an intensive
study of some aspects of management and to acquaint them with the analytical skills.
They are required to coordinate knowledge with the technique acquired during the
course of the program. The research must be based on primary data, rather than
secondary data.

The Final Project will be optional only for those students who score more than 5.74
OAGP in term-I. The eligible students who are interested may write a report on a topic of
their interest, under the guidance of a regular faculty of XLRI and submit it at the end of
the course (term-III). The final project is a non credit course, hence final OAGP will not
get affected with performance in final project. Once the eligible students opt for the final
project and their performance in the same is not satisfactory, the grade will still be
reflected in the final score transcripts.
