IIM A, B, and C has better brand recognition than XLRI. However, XLRI HRM is better than all the IIM. In fact, it is among the best HRM programs across India and Asia Pac region. If you are interested in HR, XLRI should be your first choice. For other specializations, you can choose IIM A, B, and C over XLRI.

There are many IIMs, so it depends on the particular IIM you are considering.

IIM A/B/C are better than XLRI.
IIM L/K/I and XLRI are at par with each other.
XLRI is better than the rest of IIMs.

But if you want to pursue HR specialization, then XLRI is the best option. XLRI is widely recognized for its HR program across the country. It offers decent placement opportunities in the field with a high ROI.
