What are reviews of the PGDHRM program at IIM Ranchi?
There has been a lot of talk and misconceptions about whether the PGDHRM is as good as XLRI TISS or any other 'HR institute'. The PGDHRM stands out due to its unique curriculum and ideology. It is recognized that HR is not just about soft skills, and the course has been designed to be futuristic and not obsolete like some peer institutes.
- The PGDHRM has several courses in quantitative analytics and HR analytics, taught by industrialists and professors from IIM A. These courses include lectures on IBM cognitive intelligence, tableau, statistical tool R, and SPSS.
- One of the best parts of the PGDHRM is that it has visiting professors from top institutes such as IIM A, B, C, L, I, XLRI, TISS, and GIMS, as well as senior specialists from ILO and the former Economic Times’ chief editor.
- The PGDHRM also has a special alliance with the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation, which offers a unique leadership experience. As part of this program, students had the opportunity to meet the first woman to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, Bachendri Pal.
- Placement opportunities at the PGDHRM are reportedly higher than those at other institutes and are expected to increase in the coming years. However, the institute places a greater emphasis on instilling a curiosity to learn rather than acting as a placement shop.
While the campus infrastructure may need some improvement, the hostels at the National Games Complex are reportedly very nice. Ultimately, it is students' actions and what they learn that define them, not the physical campus or facilities.
Which college would be better for a PGDM in HR, IILM Lodhi road or JIMS Rohini?

Faculty - JIMS Rohini (Winning institute-JIMS Rohini)
- Teachers are experienced and well-qualified. They eagerly train students and educate them enthusiastically.
- Human Resource is a subject wherein 90% of professors would teach theoretically and 10% would teach practically.
- My friend had personal relations with the seniors and HR faculty. S.C Kapoor was among his favorites. His way of teaching is completely different from the other teachers at the institute.
For PGDM HR, JIMS Rohini will be the better choice as compared to IILM Lodhi Road.

Which companies hire HRM people from XLRI? Is it true that HR professionals have less workload and their job is a bit relaxed than other roles?
Any professional who is from HR understands exactly what a business requires and manages the whole process from hiring an employee to their exit with talent management & development, compliance, engagement, etc.
Setting up organizational design and development for organizations are also covered by HR professionals. The employees are just a small aspect of the bigger picture.
- My friend worked at the corporate compensation team and he used to simply work on his PC all the time. Getting into HR was because of the simple fact that he was good with numbers.
- MBA programs that offer specialization in HRM, such as XLRI PGDHRM cover all the topics mentioned above in their course work. This is why people for HR roles are taken from XLRI.
- According to the recent statistics, the major companies coming to the campus for recruiting HR students are McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc.
Traveling isn't vital for HR professionals unlike what a consultant or salesman would do, the workload is, however, very similar. At the end of the day, that aspect falls on the employer culture rather than the department itself.

Although your summer placement is based upon your previous academic records, the final placement is more dependent on what you do in the B-school. Standards may be different and vary from student to student but, in terms of good opportunities at these B-schools, even an average student gets a decent internship.
If you work hard enough to be in the top half of the batch, you can definitely expect a good placement offer. Also, academics are not the only field that matters for the placement. There are other various factors at play such as academics, personality, additional skills, passion, and other interpersonal skills.
Many times it’s seen that students with decent academics record trails behind the students with average academics records. So, while getting admission in the B-school don’t overthink about the placement. B- school gives you various opportunities to cross the limits, so do your best. Hard work and dedication can surely defeat average academic records.
