Jamshedpur, May 12: For a crop of 131 professionals from the corporate world, it was like revisiting their graduation day in college today.
The occasion was XLRI’s graduation ceremony for students of one-year general management programme (GMP) as well as those of executive diploma in human resource management (HRM), which was taught in India and Dubai.
A total of 96 GMP students and 35 HRM students (19 from India and 16 from Dubai) were handed over certificates by Father E. Abraham, the director of XLRI, and chief guest H.M. Nerurkar, the managing director of Tata Steel. Kailash Nandalal Jialdasani bagged the director’s medal this year.
“Those who graduated today are not freshers. They have considerable experience in the corporate sector and had come back to pursue courses here for enhancing their knowledge. I hope these students will step out and add value to their services. The students who are present here are lucky to be in this part of the world as the south east is flourishing with business opportunities,” said Nerurkar.
The GMP programme is meant for middle-level managers. They are primarily from engineering background but their profile is nonetheless diverse — from IT to fashion technology to academics.
Almost all of them had seven years of executive experience when they joined this programme.
This year, the students were sent to four different universities across the world for more exposure.
“Coming back to books was a unique experience, thanks to our families for supporting us. College was good with so many courses, assignments and great professors, who have moulded us to be sharpened managers. We will cherish our stay here forever,” said Anshuman Jaiswal, one of the graduating GMP students.
XLRI officials said the 2010 batch had set a new benchmark with their initiative, resilience and a rare commitment to pursue their dreams.
