What is advisable, to join the PGDMM/PGDPM at NITIE or get a job?
It's a subjective question and mostly depends on your profile. PGDMM would be advantageous, if you are a fresher, especially with a mechanical or manufacturing background. It is better in terms of securing a good profile, a good package (Avg. 12 LPA), and robust manufacturing domain command.
A few years of work experience would be preferable for the PGDPM course, but it is not required. It's a safe option to play for both freshmen and those with a little experience because it improves your profile, package, and adds the rich experience of a top MBA school - NITIE.
Which are the dream companies for an XLRI HRM student?
A dream company depends upon your choice and where your interest lies. Typically, HR Consulting, IR, Manufacturing, or Line HR Roles are more popular.
- If you are interested in HR Consulting then Hay group, Accenture consulting are considered a dream as both of these companies pay significantly higher than other companies like Mercer or Hewitt.
- If your interest lies in IR or Manufacturing then FMCG companies like P&G, Unilever, ITC, Asian Paints, etc should be your dream companies.
- If you are interested in Line HR or corporate HR only then Novartis, Stan Chat, Microsoft, or other big banks and the Software or product based companies etc. are considered dream companies. Novartis offered their position in Switzerland so it was a dream for many students.
Despite this, some students may be more interested in joining startups and building systems from scratch than in joining existing companies.
What is it like to be a pass out from XLRI, Jamshedpur with a degree in HR? Also, is HRM better than BM in XLRI?
In terms of outlook and objectives, the HRM and BM programs offered by XLRI Jamshedpur differ significantly. The BM program, for example, includes only two courses in Organization Behavior, whereas the HRM program includes three courses in the same subject.
The HRM program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a successful HR manager in today's fast-paced corporate environment. As a result, if you want to work in human resources, the HRM program is the best option. XLRI Jamshedpur is regarded as the best HR education institute in India, and being a part of the program gives you access to a rich alumni network of over 60 years, many of whom are in HR roles. This is a significant benefit. Similarly, the BM program has advantages, but the program's objectives differ from those of HRM. If you are admitted, you should not consider any other options.
How is the accomodation at NITIE for PGDIM students?
One of my cousins was a part of NITIE Mumbai and has a better outlook regarding the same. Here is what he has to say,
- NITIE Mumbai is equipped with a 16 storied hostel apartment for boys, commonly called the Taylor Hostel, and almost 8 to 10 equipped for the girls, mostly known as the Gilbreth Hostel.
- The girls’ hostel is quite old and outmoded.
- The rooms of the Gilbreth Hostel, however, are quite a bit more spacious than what is in the boys’ hostel.
- The hostel arrives with 27 rooms on every floor, with a twin sharing policy added.
- It comes with two beds, two tables and chairs, and two individual cupboards.
- The rooms are gigantic and completely airy.
- The view side of the institute’s hostel is beyond explanation as well. It overlooks the Vihar Lake on one side, while the Hiranandani Gardens on another.
- The food you can avail in two messes is commonly known as Sarabhai and Taylor hall. Mostly, the food quality remains constantly the same either way.
- The hostels also have table tennis courts, and mounted television sets as well.

Cons

Which is better purely in terms of placement, XLRI BM or HRM?
Although choosing a course just based on placement records is not a good idea, there are some insights you must know before deciding.
- Placement is for the first job which you might do for 2–3 years while your career will span for 30–35 years. You should choose what you feel you want to be doing.
- You must have heard that HR roles offer you better work-life balance but it might not be true in every case. It depends a lot on the company, your manager, and your role. If work-life balance is your criteria, you might feel a shock when you join a company. HR might not have business targets but you may face other pressures.
- Placements in any campus depend on your luck too. HR batch strength increase in XL might make the competition for the good roles a little higher because the number of HR roles is limited. BM batch is still divided amongst Fin/Mar/Ops camps giving them specific roles but the number of opportunities might be higher.
All in all, placements won't secure your future in any way if you choose a field where you aren’t interested.

Why should anyone join IIFM Bhopal for PGDFM program?
IIFM Bhopal is an excellent institute for forest management courses, providing a degree that offers much more than knowledge of general management. You will learn to apply management practices in development sectors.
The forest management course usually deals with the application of management practices in the forest development sector, which has its unique approach. MBA pass-outs from IIFM work as managers in several sectors, taking difficult decisions like the banning and control of falling of trees, framing a criminal offense for the poaching of wildlife, etc.
Let’s consider a real-life scenario, if an old villager is accused of killing a tiger, he/she will be punished for 7 years with a monetary fine in the court of law. It will be a matter of political, ethical, legal, and economic approach for a general management student, resulting in the villager being punished. But, for an MBA in forest management, he/she will also consider the livelihood side of the villager, his conditions of living, and the circumstances that led to the crime. This is the major difference in approach.
The PGDFM program in IIFM Bhopal has its characteristics and approach of study, which is unique, and that makes it a decent choice for students interested in the field.
