If we have to choose between these two colleges and courses - MBA-HR from KJ Somaiya or PGDM core from BIMTECH highly depends on your interests and your career aspirations.
If you want your career in Human resources and you see yourself working as an HR professional you should choose MBA-HR from KJ Somaiya and if you don’t want to restrict yourself to one field you should go for PGDM core from BIMTECH.
However, I would recommend you to join BIMTECH’s flagship course as it will give you more opportunities and the average package at BIMTECH 2023 is INR 11.25 LPA.

Pursuing an MBA from a premier institution like XLRI Jamshedpur can be financially challenging, especially for students coming from middle-class backgrounds.
There are many scholarship programs like MAF Scholarship, IDFC First Bank MBA Scholarship, HUL T-Thomas Scholarship, Aditya Birla Scholarship, XLRI Capital First, and Mirae Asset Based Scholarship.
84% in 10th and 78% in 12th is a decent score and you can get admission to the XLRI HR program. Although there are no strict guidelines mentioned by XLRI regarding the weightage for 10th, 12th, XAT, and interview. But with the above-mentioned 10th and 12th scores, a good XAT score, and a well-delivered interview, you can get admission into the XLRI Jamshedpur HR course.

No, Amity University Noida is not that good to pursue an MBA in HR. Last year 200 companies participated in placements. The highest package offered in placements was INR 12 LPA. The average package and median package stood at INR 6.59 LPA and INR 6 LPA, respectively.
So, the average package offered for an MBA in HR at Amity University Noida is significantly lower than your expectations or industry standards, it's indeed a crucial factor to consider when deciding on pursuing the program at that institution. A low average package can have implications for your return on investment (ROI) and your overall career prospects.
I assume that you have both options IIM Ahmedabad PGP-FABM and XLRI HRM. If that is the case, then you should make a well-informed decision based on your personal inclinations.
If you had taken Agricultural Engineering because you were genuinely interested in it, then IIM Ahmedabad, PGP-FABM is the best choice for you.
However, if you had to take Agricultural Engineering because that was the last option you had, then it makes no sense to continue with it. In that case, XLRI HRM is the best option for you. This is because the job opportunities after FABM, are scarce, and you. HRM will fetch you office jobs.
Brand-wise both institutes are similar with IIMA having the upper hand. Placements-wise, HRM is better unless you have an interest in Agricultural Engineering.
