Jamshedpur, June 20: XLRI Jamshedpur has opened admissions for two newly launched one-year hybrid postgraduate programmes—Public Policy and Sustainable Leadership (PPSL) and Public Human Resources Management (PHRM). Developed in collaboration with the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India, these programmes aim to strengthen leadership and policy-making capabilities across both public and private sectors.
Applications are now open and will close on June 30, 2025. The programmes begin on July 28, 2025.
Eligibility and Target Audience
Both programmes are open to working professionals with a minimum of five years of full-time experience. While Group 'A' central government officers may be eligible for DoPT sponsorship, the programmes also welcome professionals from private companies, PSUs, NGOs, and development organisations. The goal is to foster a cross-sectoral learning environment and enhance governance through shared knowledge.

Designed for flexibility, the PPSL and PHRM programmes follow a hybrid learning model with:
180 hours of instruction
Live online classes on Sundays
