Should one specialize in HR from IIM Ahmedabad?
Although IIM Ahmedabad is not the best HR campus, it is the best in its class. Furthermore, it is believed that the 'Specialization' thing should not be dependent on the institute, but rather on what a person sees their career as being in. Choose wisely, regardless of the institute, because you will have to live with it for many years.
IIM Ahmedabad does not offer an HR specialization. However, you can always add more HR electives to your PGP program in the second year to help your cause. If you are certain that you want to work in human resources, apply to XLRI or TISS. They offer the best HRM education in India.
What should I do to clear the GD/PI of XLRI Jamshedpur for HR? Assuming that I have plenty of time to prepare, what should be my strategy?
Group Discussion (GD) will be different from a regular topic-based GD, as it will be ranked-based. In this type of GD, a list of activities will be given to the group, and the members will have to come to an agreement about the importance of each activity. This type of GD does not require specific knowledge on any topic but will require strong communication skills to participate effectively.
Since everyone in the group will have to chime in to speak, there is a high probability that the discussion could become chaotic and disorganized. This should not allow you as a candidate to give up on contributing to the discussion as this will negatively affect the panel’s perception of you. Keep trying to engage with the discussion in a polite manner.
Interview - The type of questions that can be expected in the PI can be about why the candidate is interested in HR, why they want to do an MBA, and why they want to do it in XLRI. You can also be asked about your educational background and work experience, as well as about how you'd react to hypothetical situations. The key to handling this kind of probing is to remain calm, keep a smile on your face, and not let a single bad answer affect the entire interview.
How far behind is SIBM, SCMHRD, MDI vis-a-vis XLRI/TISS HR?

Based on placements, XLRI is the best in HR placements. It also witnesses placements across the world. If you want to pursue a career in Social work and HR then TISS Mumbai is the best. TISS also offers MA programs and it does not offer MBA.
MDI Gurgaon and SCMHRD is also a better option to consider. They have a good alumni base and decent placements at XLRI and TISS.
Which is a wiser choice ? IIFT Delhi or XLRI HRM?
If you are a Human resource management lover then you sho should definitely opt for XLRI Jamshedpur HRM course. Otherwise, if you are looking for hardcore MBA courses then I would suggest you go for the IIFT Delhi IB program. It is their flagship course and only a very few institutes in the country offer the IB program and IIFT tops among all of them.
Additionally, the value of IIFT Delhi in the corporate world is very renowned, and recruiters easily hire candidates from IIFT Delhi. Although XLRI is also a renowned institute, I am not a HR enthusiast so if I were at your place I would have gone for IIFT Delhi.
How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?
The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.
- Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
- Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.
Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.
So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.
My daughter has got waitlist number 75 of XLRI Jamshedpur for an HRM course. What are her chances of getting a confirmed seat in HRM?
The HRM program at XLRI Jamshedpur is one of the most prestigious programs in our country, therefore, there is a thin chance that the waitlist might move and waitlist 75 get converted. I wish her the best of luck and hope that she is able to secure a seat in XLRI.
