I can share my brother’s experience for SP Jain School for Global Management. The Global Family Managed Business (Global FMB) is an innovative 12-month Tri-City programme. It is designed to provide the knowledge, skills and attitude required for family-managed businesses to address challenges that are unique to family-managed businesses.
Global intelligence is a unique consequence of the Global FMB programme as participants are given opportunities to live and study at our campuses in Dubai, Mumbai and Singapore, and as a result, develop the skills necessary to take their business global.
For those aspiring to enter the corporate sector, a traditional Master's programme is ideal. The FMB of S P Jain acknowledges that family businesses have unique business and family challenges involving ownership and management issues, and is designed to incorporate comprehensive coverage of these issues.
S P Jain's GFMB promotes all-round development covering all dimensions of family business so that you can operate with experts in all fields.
A lot of people have taken up the course and several alumni from this course have shared their valuable reviews for the students seeking this program:
Overall, the PG Certification course is worth the effort, with students gaining a salary hike of a maximum of 125% and an average increase of 43% after the program.
It depends on your expectations. Doing a PGCBM will certainly be a good addition to your resume. You will get to learn from some of the leading professionals in the field of management. You will also get the opportunity to network with XLRI alumni. You can benefit a lot if you have a start-up idea and want to learn the ropes of management.
But getting better job offers based on the certification can be difficult. A PGCBM is not as valuable as the flagship programs offered by XLRI, in terms of immediate improvement in career outcomes.
XLRI has a strong reputation for Human Resource (HR) management and Industrial Relations (IR) studies. If an individual is specifically interested in HR/IR, then XLRI would be a better option compared to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies). However, if you are looking for a general management program, then NMIMS would be a better choice because of its excellent peer group and rigorous curriculum.
XLRI is still a good institute for other streams, but it is more specialized in HR and IR. Similarly, NMIMS is known for its general management program, and it may not have the same level of expertise as XLRI in HR/IR.
XLRI's two-year full-time AICTE-approved Global MBA program is designed to meet the current business needs and demands of global business leaders. GMP program is focused on providing a rigorous academic curriculum, as well as opportunities for students to learn from three leading economies in the world - India, China, and the United States by allowing them to participate in live internships and college events in each of these countries, as well as a full-time summer internship and organize events in their own.
The program is taught by top professors drawn from the top colleges of each of the three countries. The course is also well-supported by the XL Alumni Network, which sees the program as providing tremendous opportunities in today's world. The batch of students in XLRI's Global MBA program sees a good mix of freshers as well as professionals with work experience.
The Global MBA course has been readily accepted by the industry, with all students getting placed after completion of the program. Quoting directly from the latest placement report: “The average salary saw an increase to INR 32.7 lakhs per annum from INR 30.7 lakhs per annum in 2022. Highest domestic offer at INR 78.2 lakhs per annum from the ITES sector. Highest international offer at INR 1.1 crore per annum for the HR domain.”
The benefits after completing the program are likely to outweigh the cost of tuition and other expenses. The benefits come from the learning, networking, exposure, branding, and skills developed in the program.
It is important to note that the Indian School of Business (ISB) does not offer a specific course structure that trains students to become Human Resource Managers. The Post Graduate Program in Management (PGP) at ISB is a general management program that covers various aspects of business, including human resources. However, the Fellow Program in Management does have an area called Organizational Behaviour and Strategy which is closely related to Human Resource Management.
While at ISB, students have the opportunity to take subjects related to human resources such as Strategy and Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Healthcare, Public Policy, and Strategic Performance Management. Additionally, ISB hosts a 2-3 day program for executives that focuses on linking human resources with business strategy. However, this program cannot be considered a specialization.
If you are specifically looking to specialize in Human Resource Management, you may want to consider other business schools such as the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, XLRI Jamshedpur, Xavier Institute of Management Bhubhaneshwar, or Xavier Institute of Social Service Ranchi, which offer full-time courses in Human Resource Management. Additionally, there are short certification programs offered by organizations such as Talent Management Institute, HR Certification Institute, Society for Human Resource Management, and Human Capital Institute, which could be a good option for working professionals looking to change their field of work or add HR credentials to their CVs. These programs are also cheaper than regular full-time courses.
When it comes to pursuing higher education, the choice of the program can greatly impact your career goals and objectives. A postgraduate executive certification in General Management from IIM Raipur is a great option that may align with your objectives. The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur is a premier management institute known for its excellent faculty, world-class infrastructure, and curriculum that is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of general management.
The executive certification program is specifically designed for working professionals who want to enhance their management skills and knowledge while continuing to work. The program is tailored to meet the needs of working professionals who want to take a step forward in their careers. The curriculum is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles as managers and leaders. The program is also designed to provide students with the opportunity to network with other professionals in their field, which can be beneficial for career advancement.
However, it is worth noting that the opinion of the speaker about Executive Certification, in general, may be different and may not hold a high opinion on it. It is important to conduct your own research and weigh the pros and cons of the program before making a decision.
