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

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.

Should you pick PGDM-BM at MDI Gurgaon?

This course suits working people with three or more years of experience who want a manager role in consulting or IT services.

Pick it if:

You want a consulting or IT services manager role: PwC, Accenture, Infosys Consulting and TCS hired from the last batch, into consultant and manager roles.

You want to stay close to industry in the NCR: the campus is in Gurgaon, a corporate hub, and the course brings in industry leaders for guest lectures.

Your company is sponsoring you: the dissertation can be done at your workplace and is then shown to a panel of experts.

You want a safe minimum salary: the lowest offer in the last batch was INR 15.3 LPA and the median was INR 20 LPA.

Skip it if:

You want a banking or finance job: the last batch's recruiter list is mostly consulting and IT services firms, and no bank is named on it.

You expect pay to rise with every batch: the average pay fell from the batch before, while the batch size almost doubled.

You cannot take a long break from salary: the course is 18 months full time on campus, five terms and then a dissertation.

You are short of three years of work: MDI counts only paid, full-time work up to 31 Mar, so internships and part-time jobs do not add up.

Counsellor's advice

If you have three full years of paid work and a valid CAT, XAT or GMAT score, apply in Round 1. If your employer is paying the fee, get the sponsorship in writing before you pay the first part.

In short

SPJIMR costs more and reported higher pay, but its fee does not include meals. If you want a Mumbai career and can pay the extra, pick SPJIMR; if you want a lower fee with meals in, take MDI Gurgaon.

In short

IIM Lucknow's IPMX is one year, costs more and reported higher average and median pay. If you can clear its selection and pay the fee, it is the stronger pay record; if you need the lower fee, stay with MDI Gurgaon.

In short

IIM Indore's EPGP costs the most here and adds about INR 5 Lakhs for the overseas stay. If you want a one-year course and can pay that, weigh it; if the fee matters, MDI Gurgaon is the cheaper seat.

In short

IMT Ghaziabad has the same 18-month shape but costs more and reported lower pay. If both give you an offer, take MDI Gurgaon; keep IMT Ghaziabad only as a backup.

In short

Great Lakes is one year and reported a higher top offer, but a lower average pay at a higher fee. If you want the shorter break from work, weigh Great Lakes; for pay against fee, MDI Gurgaon comes out ahead.

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

MDI Gurgaon: 3 Answered Questions

Is HR at MDI better than TISS/SCMHRD? Also, does XLRI offer the best course in HR?

Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

It is hard to compare one specific major or stream but whatever is in the public domain the general ranking of these three colleges in HR domain quality-wise and RoI-wise is given below in a table.

Quality wise	RoI wise
XLRI	TISS
TISS	XLRI
SCMHRD	SCMHRD
MDI	MDI

Below is a table comparing these colleges on absolute numbers like fees, highest package, and average package.

Institution	Fees (approx.)	Highest Package	Average Salary	Median Package
XLRI	INR 26 lakhs	INR 1.1 CPA	INR 32.7 LPA	INR 30 LPA
TISS	INR 1.4 lakhs	INR 49 LPA	INR 27.22 LPA	INR 25.75 LPA
MDI	INR 23.5 lakhs	INR 60 LPA	INR 26.1 LPA	INR 26.13 LPA
SCMHRD	INR 22.1 lakhs	INR 67.60 LPA (International) INR 35.02 LPA (Domestic)	INR 23.71 LPA	INR 22 LPA

For HR domain XLRI is the best and RoI wise for HR domain TISS is the best.

What are the placement prospects for a NMP program from MDI Gurgaon?

Ashutosh AgarwalMBA from Management Development Institute, Gurgaon

The NMP program of MDI is a well-known program that was initiated in the year 1988. The program is best suitable for Young Managers. Coming to the placement part, most of the students choosing this program are sponsored by the company they were working at and hence have to join back their company once their program is completed.

The general placements are also decent with around 70% placement percentage. But placements depend mostly on the knowledge gained and implemented in your job. Your performance throughout the program determines your placement.

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.
