The Xavier Labour Relations Institute (XLRI), Jamshedpur, will set up a campus in Singapore. It will start operating from June this year. XLRI will be the third Indian business school after the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM-B) and the SP Jain Centre of Management to open shop in Singapore.

According to a report in the Today newspaper of Singapore, classes at the new school will begin with an initial batch of 60 students, of whom 30 have already been identified.

Fees have been set at $28,000 for a full-time two-year postgraduate course in business management, which, according to the report, are believed to be the most competitive among similar business schools in Singapore.

“We are able to charge such low fees because they are based purely on costs on how much is needed to run the programme. We are a not-for-profit institution,” Father N. Casimir Raj, director of XLRI, was quoted as saying.
