Which one is a better option among the three, XLRI (HRM), IIFT Delhi or IIM Indore?

XLRI is the best option among these three colleges, undoubtedly. It is one of the top 10 Business schools in India along with a great brand reputation both inside and outside the industry. If you are planning on doing an MBA in HRM then XLRI is the best shot. Here is the list of reasons behind XLRI being the preferred choice.

Career Goals-

The choice of college depends mostly upon the choice of subject. For HRM (Human resource management) XLRI is the best fit. However, if you have an interest in trade, commerce, and foreign exchange trade then IIFT is the perfect place. 

• If you are unsure about your choice of the area then IIM is a good option. It will allow you to explore different streams and different subjects, and ultimately decide the subject in which your interest lies.
• Completing an MBA from XLRI in HRM doesn’t imply that their scope is constricted to one particular area. It is often seen that students from HRM establish a career for themselves in general management, marketing, systems or operations, etc. 

Reputation- The brand of a college does play a pivotal role in the career trajectory of a student.

• XLRI- It is the oldest management institute in the country. Its’ alumni have been placed globally at senior positions.
• IIFT- It is a top-rated institute in the foreign-trade area with a strong alumni base.
• IIM Indore- As it is a new IIM, the brand value is comparably low. 

Placement-

• Cross-functional placement opportunities are present in XLRI given that the student has an excellent track record.
• One thing should be kept in mind amidst the placement procedure, there are multiple times when top-recruiting companies hire students and assign them various functions outside the student’s area of expertise. Which makes specialization less important. 

Teaching and learning quality-

• The quality of education imparted at XLRI is extremely good, the students are from various backgrounds. Thus the interactions between students are a learning experience in itself. 
• The combination of people in the department, especially in the HRM department is diverse and good. The class entails at least 40% of engineers, and the rest of the students are from IITs, BITS, NITs, etc. 

Thus, to conclude the discussion XLRI is the best choice for a student who wants to pursue an MBA. Have a good day.
