Should you pick MBA at SCMHRD?

This course suits students who want a marketing, HR or finance job from a Pune campus and can pay a private B-school fee.

Pick it if:
You want a sales and marketing job: that stream takes the biggest share of every batch, and the same FMCG firms come back each year.
You want a campus with industry next door: SCMHRD sits in the Hinjewadi park in Pune, so live projects and guest sessions come through the year.
You want to pay the fee in parts: the academic fee is taken in four parts, one before each semester, not in one go.
You want the fee back fast: the full fee is close to one year of the average pay, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a top offer: the median sits well below the highest offer, so most of the batch lands near the average.
You want a small batch: this MBA takes 180 students in one batch, so the placement queue is long and the last offers come late.
You are counting on a 90 percentile score: the General call has stayed near 97, so a lower score rarely gets the GEPI slot.
You want a single room: the hostel is three sharing and the hostel fee is charged on top of the academic fee.
Counsellor's advice
If your SNAP percentile is near 97 and you want a marketing or HR job, take this seat. If you are short of that, keep a college with a lower call in your list as a backup.

SIBM Pune pays about INR 6.9 LPA more, but its call is a point higher and its fee a little bigger. If your percentile clears both, take SIBM Pune; if it clears only this seat, take this one.
In short
SIIB Pune costs less and calls at a lower percentile, but it pays less and has fewer seats. If you want an international business role, take SIIB Pune; if you want marketing or HR, stay here.
In short
SIBM Bengaluru asks the same kind of fee and calls at a lower percentile, but its average pay is far below this page's. If your score misses this seat, keep SIBM Bengaluru as a backup, not a first pick.
In short
SCIT Pune costs about half and is far easier to get into, but it is an IT management course and pays less. If you want a general MBA, take this seat; if you want an IT role, SCIT Pune fits.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?

Apoorv AshutoshFormer PhD Candidate at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2017–2020)

The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.

  • Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
  • Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.

Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.

So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.
