Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management [PGDHRM] From XLRI, Jamshedpur

The HRM program is very enriching and the course is rigorous. You get to solve dozens of cases daily and get a whole new perspective on the business world and how really things work. Faculty is very famous countrywide and have a 1 to 10 ratio with students.

I chose the HRM program because XLRI's HR program is the best in India and Asia-Pacific region apart from having an inclination toward HR as a career. The cases that are being taught here are from Harvard University. Each subject consists of Quiz, Mid-Term, and End-Term, along with assignments and projects. The faculties are very brilliant in their field and also have unique teaching styles. Some of the faculties served as consultants to some of the big organizations in the country. They keep themselves as well as students aware of the current market scenarios so that students can do better in their careers post their studies. If a student indulges in the daily study then it is not difficult to pass the exams. Also, the faculties focus more on the implementation of concepts rather than the concepts in the exams.

I preferred the HRM program as XLRI is one of the best for this program. The course curriculum is very rigorous, especially in the first year, as there are multiple general subjects a student needs to learn to understand management. The core specialization comes from the second year. The faculty members are experts in their fields and deliver quality knowledge through projects, group simulation exercises, quizzes, etc.

XLRI HRM program is considered to be the best of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region. Its alumna is currently serving in CHRO roles in diverse industries. The course follows a healthy mix of theoretical and application-based case pedagogy. While students are familiarised with knowledge of courses like Micro/Macro Economics, Quantitative Aptitude, etc, they are also put to test with application-based courses like Performance Management, Wage Determination, and Strategic management. The student-to-faculty ratio sits at 9:1 which ensures proper learning. Most of the teachers have completed their Ph.D./FPM from IIMs across India as well as abroad. Most of the classes are driven through healthy student participation where they are required to arrive at the solution to the problem presented by the faculty. XLRI follows the trimester model where exams are held after every 3 months. The curriculum is rigorous and it is generally difficult to pass.
