Date delay affects XLRI aspirants
The decision of postponing the IIM admission dates to April 21 has taken a toll on students on the waiting list of XLRI admissions.
XLRI releases two lists of selected candidates — both confirmed and those on the waiting list. Earlier, about 50 students for the business management and about 10-12 students for personnel management and industrial relations would be selected from the waiting list.
