Assurance of Learning
At XLRI, we work towards achieving certain learning
expectations that are commonly identified as our program
learning goals. We believe that the learning goals denote the
desired forms of students learning, thinking, and their
behaviour. These goals convey to students and faculty the
educational outcomes toward which they are working and help
in setting priorities, designing their learning experiences, and
fulfilling their educational expectations. While the learning goals
cannot be exhaustively stated for any higher education program,
it is possible to set educational targets and to assure that the
learning is progressing in the specified direction. The learning
expectations are derived from a balance of internal and external
contributions to the definition of primary educational goals.

Academic Year
The academic year consists of three Terms. The average duration
of each Term is approximately 11 weeks. Terms I, II & III refer to
the first year students and Terms IV, V & VI refer to the second
year students.

Course Workload
7.1
7.2 The total number of credits for the core courses are 63 (SixtyThree) for HRM and BM. The Term-wise distribution of core
courses in the first year for HRM shall be 7-6-7 and BM shall be
6-7-7 as applicable. The remaining 3 core courses shall be
scheduled in the second year. The elective courses are not offered
in the first year.
7.3 Elective courses are offered during Term IV, V & VI. The minimum
number of electives required to qualify for the Diploma is 14
(Fourteen) for HRM and BM.
7.4 The maximum number of credits (including Dissertation,
Special Elective Course, Audit Course and CIS) in any given
Term should not be more than 19. Students are encouraged to
spread their electives in a 4-6-4 format.
8.
9.
10. Attendance
10.1 It is mandatory for the students to be regular and punctual in
all the classes without exception. Individual faculty members
may, at their discretion, assign some weightage to attendance
and class participation in the evaluation of the course. In such
an event, absenteeism on the part of the student may adversely
affect both the components, namely, attendance and the
consequential class participation, if any.
10.2 Students should apply for leave to the faculty concerned in
advance. The student should show the supporting documents
to the faculty, if required. The leave application duly permitted
by the faculty should be submitted to the Deans Office for further
action.
10.3 Absence without prior permission of the Dean and / or faculty
will be considered as a serious breach of indiscipline. In such
cases, the student may be directed to withdraw from the
programme with no stigma attached. If, however, the student
does not withdraw from the programme within a week on being
so directed, he will be liable for expulsion from the Institute.
10.4 Students should ensure that the attendance requirements, as
stipulated in this section, are met no matter whatever may be the
compulsions. Absence for attending any activity, including
student competitions or placement work, is also treated similarly
for calculating attendance as per Section 10.8.
10.5 The Dean or the faculty will not be responsible, if the student
suffers loss in the evaluation of any segment on account of his
absence. The faculty may administer make-up tests/
assignments only to those students who remained absent with
his prior permission. However, for the purpose of calculating
the number of classes missed, there is no distinction between
leave sanctioned or not sanctioned, or not applied for leave. The
total classes missed would be used for calculating the grade
deduction, if the faculty so desires.

However, a student would not be punished twice on account of
attendance. That is, if a course has a penalty for each class missed
and a student loses a grade because of marks for attendance,
then the student would not be penalized again by another grade
loss.
11.
Waiver
11.3 The grade for the course will be determined on the basis of the
performance of the student in the qualifying test and / or written
assignments.
8
11.4 Waiver is however not allowed for students who are repeating
the year or repeating certain course(s) due to poor academic
performance.
12. Summer Project
12.1 Summer project investigates some significant aspect of a
managerial problem. It gives students an opportunity to observe
a business organisation in operation and to sharpen their
knowledge and skills by putting them to use. Besides providing
an opportunity to enhance their understanding of managerial
problems, summer project also gives students practical
experience that will help them to plan their careers.
12.2 Summer Project is a compulsory non-credit course. A student is
required to do a Summer Project on any aspect of HRM / BM, as
applicable, in industry for eight to ten weeks at the end of the
first year (April - June). While registering for Term IV, a student
must submit to Deans Office a summer project satisfactory
completion certificate from the summer project company guide
[refer Section 5.3 (b) and Section 24.2 (a)].
12.3 A sealed envelope (Marked NOT TO BE OPENED BY THE
STUDENT) containing the blank Summer Project Completion
Certificate is given to the student, to be handed over to the
Summer Project Company Guide. At the end of the project, the
guide evaluates the student on his performance, by filling up the
Completion Certificate, and gives the same in a sealed envelope
to the student for submitting it to the Deans Office at the time of
Term IV registration.
12.4 Students will be entitled to receive the Diploma only after
completing the summer project satisfactorily.
12.5 A student, who does not complete the Summer Project
satisfactorily, and who does not comply with the requirements,
will have to do another Summer Project before becoming eligible
to receive the Diploma.
12.6 Students who receive adverse comments from their company
guides will be liable for disciplinary action.
13. Dissertation
13.1 Dissertation is optional. A student can opt for a dissertation in
lieu of a 3 credit elective course in Term V. Students will be allowed

Strategy
15.1 The elective courses to be offered in the 2nd year will be announced
in the 3rd Term of 1st year. Students should get clarification on
electives, if required, from Area Chairpersons and / or the course
instructors before the deadline for registration of electives.
15.2 Electives which have a ceiling on the number of students, the
concerned faculty will announce the final list of selected students
for each elective. Students who have registered for an elective in
AIS, but have not been selected for the course will be given a
chance to opt for another elective by sending an email to Deans
Office. Detailed information on date(s) for registration and
finalisation of electives for 2nd year will be announced in the 1st
year of term - 3. Students need to strictly adhere to the deadlines,
as no changes in electives would be permitted after the
deadlines.
15.3 Faculty may evolve suitable criteria, in consultation with the area,
to select students for their electives. Such criteria will normally
be based on:

in all the courses of the Term.
