Is SCMHRD HR programme as good as XLRI HRM in terms of brand value?

No, the XLRI HRM program is one of the oldest and most respected HRM courses in Asia, which gives it a higher brand value than the SCMHRD HR program. However, going to a prestigious B-school is not the only factor that determines success as an HR professional. What matters is how good someone is at their work over the years. There are many well-respected HR heads from SCMHRD, and I've personally encountered multiple SCMHRD alumni who are brilliant.
