A Virtual Tour through XL Campus

While much is written about XL culture, bonding, activities, achievements, placements, rankings, etc, nothing much is online about the XL Campus...

A big gap, since XL Campus has changed over last 10 - no, 5- no,actually even last 1 year or so...

To fill up this gap, here is a Virtual Tour through XLRI Campus
(Note: you can manage the slide transition by taking the curser to the bottom of the photo)

Really a very wholesome and detailed virtual tour sir. I missed something like this when I scoured thru the xlri website prior to my admissions!
we must think about putting this up on the xl website!

Madukar,

Awesome! Even though I could recognize some patches of grass and parts of buildings here and there. So much has changed ! You could probably do a before and after. Like a good ole Hindi movie. 'XL bees saal pehle aur aab' ..or more for oldies like
us:-)

Cheers

just little over a year that we left XL...and yes, it HAS changed a lot since then. I guess it's right then...plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose :-)

Very nice to walk down memory lane. Amid all of new development are vestiges of familiar landmarks like Enright Hall, Library etc.
BTW, what's the best way to get pixs to you?

Thank you so very much ! It is looking great. Inspite of all the new buildings, there is that certain physicality, which still remains and makes me want to visit the place once. Till we meet,

The only faces of students I can see is of 05 Batch, in the small-audi snap, The first huge batch of 180 at XL. The Mendus, the Kashyaps and the Gowdas of 05 prominently displaying their presence.

I can see the new Gents hostel completed, modern sports hall completed and the all new GMP Village(This was surprise package).

XL sure has expanded in more than a few ways. Great Show Sir!!!!!!

Amazing work sir ! Although we have seen the transition happening when we were around, but this kind of completes the entire picture

Wow, things have changed! I'm all nostalgic now! XL looks all nice and cleany and shiny now...but its really the old dadus corner, the 'circle' outside NLH and the ajay chawla reading room that will resonate with me.. Anyway, just my thoughts..

Thanks so much for taking the effort to compile and put this up -really is an incentive for the homecoming :-)

WOW !!!!! really cool tour. Feels like worthwhile spendomg another two years there on campus.

Should be sent across as a cd to all candidates shortlisted for interview in XAT as part of "Know XLRI" to enhance further branding. Cannot have a better promotion for prospective students. Atleast can be put on the official website
