XLRI opens admissions for virtual interactive learning programmes

Xavier Labour Relations Institute (XLRI) has announced the opening of admission for the virtual interactive learning (VIL) programmes for its courses in 'business management' and 'human resource management.

In addition to the primary mode of imparting the residential management education, XLRI has been having VIL programmes since 2002. The Virtual Interactive Learning programmes enable working executives to undertake formal management learning in the city they reside and work, at a convenient time schedule without disrupting their professional commitments to enhance their management-centric knowledge, skills and competencies.

"XLRI's VIL programme aims to provide worthwhile management education to today's professionals and executives, who are willing to complete their management education whilst still being in service or while being involved with their own business," said Ashish Pani, associate dean, Virtual Interactive Learning programmes, XLRI. 

These programmes are offered in technical association with Hughes Communication India Ltd and Reliance World (HCIL and RW). There are 150 classroom centres across the country. The VIL arm has also reached out to international students with a successful programme launch for students in Nigeria.  

The VIL arm of XLRI offers a portfolio of compact programmes over a 12-months duration across different functional areas of management. Besides business management and human resource management, other courses offered are on logistics and supply chain management, retail management and sales and marketing management.

The VIL applicants should be graduates with at least two years of work experience after graduation. The candidates are shortlisted through interviews which are conducted across the country. In a year the VIL programme has two rounds of applications for each of its five certificate courses. After successful completion of the programme students are awarded 'postgraduate certificate'.
