I believe SCMHRD is an amazing college for all managerial fields.
The HR stream is the most popular because it began with an emphasis on Personnel Management and Industrial Relations, drawing on the experiences of seasoned managers in and around Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik.
SCMHRD has been working to improve its resources and infrastructure since its beginnings. Placements have also improved. The faculty and the institution's reach have likewise grown steadily during the last decade.
As a result, admission to SCMHRD will be ideal for an MBA (Marketing) candidate. If you have the opportunity, please join.
IIM Kozhikode does not offer any specialization degree. It offers a General Management or PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management). This is somewhat equivalent to an MBA. It doesn’t offer specific PGDM in Operations, Finance, HR, etc.
A variety of electives are offered in the second year. You may choose these on the basis of your interests and the career you wish to pursue.
The area offers a list of elective courses in which the students choose to have a career in the human resource field or develop their people management competency. Some elective courses are as follows:
Legal Aspects of HRM
Strategic HRM
Some Recent OB Inputs for Enhancing Employee Performance and Humanistic Orientation in Workplace
Compensation and Rewards Management
Performance Management
Leadership: Applied, Conceptual and Evolving
Discovering Self
Negotiations & Conflicts Resolution
Management Consulting: Profession and Practice
Managing Creativity
Organization Change and Development
Recruitment & Selection
Honestly, IIM Kozhikode is not a good option for HR. IIM Ranchi or SCMHRD are better options for the same.
For the Human Resource Management program, the overall cut-off for male engineering applicants is 93 percentile, while it is 91 percentile for female engineering students.
Male applicants with non-engineering backgrounds must have a 90 percentile, while female applicants with non-engineering backgrounds must have an 88 percentile. It's possible that even with a high percentile, you might not be chosen if you have a poor interview performance.
While it's helpful to have some sense of scale, I'd advise shooting for the stars and ignoring percentiles for the time being.

The courses offered are flexible, comprising a blend of Marketing, HR, Operations, Finance, etc. This enables the students not to specialize in a single domain only. As far as HR is concerned, I have listed down some highlights of this particular domain at IIM Shillong.
At the end of the program, you will have developed a detailed knowledge of terms, concepts and insights.

The HRM course at XLRI Jamshedpur is the best in Asia. They receive incredible placements, and the profiles they get are better than any other HR programme in India. Few students in XL HR have been placed in Consulting and General Management roles, which are in high demand at major business schools. Almost all of the top HR in India's leading firms are from XL Jamshedpur, which helps with networking and job advancement. They have a fantastic alumni network. The recent appointment of Leena Nair as Chanel's global CEO is an illustration of how their graduates (XL HR) have performed.
