How good is IMT Ghaziabad's PGDM(DCP) program? How are the placements? Do they provide degree certificate for PGDM or will it be written as PGDM (DCP)? How good is the internship opportunity?
The DCP program still has not reached its true potential and is still under experimentation. The students who have joined the program get an opportunity to take part in a short-term project in Dubai.
The project is a mini internship that gives you a chance to enter the corporate world of the Middle East. The short-term projects are a little difficult to come by but they are great for improving the profile. Some of the noteworthy names that offer STPs are Jumeirah, Jumbo Electronics, Al Tayer, etc.
The GITEX experience is an added boost for the students who are in marketing where one has to be in touch with their skills in negotiation, sales, and perseverance. In my friend’s opinion, they had a better time with the Indian faculty than they had with the international faculty but they were not bad either.
A number of the students were successful in converting their STPs into internships. The openings and the performance of the students determine the conversion. It is the same for converting the internship into a final placement offer. Some of the big names are Al Tayer, Flydubai, Apparel Group, Landmark, etc. The Indian internships offer better chances of full conversion than the foreign faculty.
The DCP and Full Time offer final placements in the Ghaziabad campus. If the campus is visited by companies from Dubai, the DCP is at an advantage and generally ends up getting shortlisted. In my friend’s opinion, DCP is a better option for students who are interested in pursuing marketing.
Which one should I prefer between IMT Dual Country program and Great Lakes Chennai PGDM?
Before choosing between IMT Dual Country Programme and Great Lakes Chennai PGDM, consider these factors.
First, both programs have different goals, curricula, and opportunities, so you must decide which one fits your career and personal goals. The groundbreaking IMT Dual Country Programme lets students spend their first year in India and their second year at one of IMT's partner institutions overseas. In today's globalized corporate climate, this program provides a great opportunity to learn about diverse cultures and business practices.
Great Lakes Chennai PGDM is a two-year, full-time program that teaches management and business. The program emphasizes industry contact with guest lecturers, company visits, and actual projects in marketing, finance, operations, and analytics. Students interested in business and management should enroll in this program.
Choosing between the two programs relies on your career goals and interests. The IMT Dual Country Programme may be ideal for you if you wish to work in an international company and learn about diverse cultures and practices. Great Lakes Chennai PGDM is a more thorough management program that develops business acumen and managerial skills.
Will people be eligible to apply for PGDM BM at XLRI, Jamshedpur if one has secured less than 50% in their graduation?
Having friends at XLRI, I can only suggest you keep in mind these few facts if you're passionate about getting into any high-quality B-School.
- Understand that people at B-Schools care about your marks very seriously.
- The competition level at any B-School would be so intense that the panel would not just consider people with a great academic background. They would take a month/year's work experience into consideration, too.
The status that XLRI or any great B-School carries would not be put at risk by admitting candidates who do not have a quality academic background. You have to at least maintain a minimum of the criteria that these institutes demand.
- Recruiters that approach these reputed B-Schools for placements belong to different firms. For instance- Finance (Citibank, SoftBank, Goldman Sachs Group); Consulting (PWC, BCG, McKenzie); Marketing (P&G, Nestlé, HUL), and others.
- These companies check the candidate's academic background.
- The minimum percentage level they take into consideration for shortlisting is 60% at the graduation level. If your score is beyond that and you have been a university topper, it would be a plus.
Because of the reputation factor, FMS/XLRI/SPJIMR, etc. would not put their reputation at stake by admitting students with a poor academic background. Therefore, instead of focusing on that, it will be wise to focus and perform well in other exams like - MICAT, NMAT, SNAP, IIFT, CAT, XAT so that you can get a call from any one of the top 20 B-Schools of India.
Despite a 50% score in your graduation, you still think about getting into a reputed institute like XLRI. This shows how much faith you carry in yourself.
Which companies hire HRM people from XLRI? Is it true that HR professionals have less workload and their job is a bit relaxed than other roles?
Any professional who is from HR understands exactly what a business requires and manages the whole process from hiring an employee to their exit with talent management & development, compliance, engagement, etc.
Setting up organizational design and development for organizations are also covered by HR professionals. The employees are just a small aspect of the bigger picture.
- My friend worked at the corporate compensation team and he used to simply work on his PC all the time. Getting into HR was because of the simple fact that he was good with numbers.
- MBA programs that offer specialization in HRM, such as XLRI PGDHRM cover all the topics mentioned above in their course work. This is why people for HR roles are taken from XLRI.
- According to the recent statistics, the major companies coming to the campus for recruiting HR students are McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc.
Traveling isn't vital for HR professionals unlike what a consultant or salesman would do, the workload is, however, very similar. At the end of the day, that aspect falls on the employer culture rather than the department itself.
What are the best colleges in India for MBA in HR? I have heard about XLRI. How's this college? And also how's the professional life of an HR ? Any other suggestions or any information about HR are mo
Although your summer placement is based upon your previous academic records, the final placement is more dependent on what you do in the B-school. Standards may be different and vary from student to student but, in terms of good opportunities at these B-schools, even an average student gets a decent internship.
If you work hard enough to be in the top half of the batch, you can definitely expect a good placement offer. Also, academics are not the only field that matters for the placement. There are other various factors at play such as academics, personality, additional skills, passion, and other interpersonal skills.
Many times it’s seen that students with decent academics record trails behind the students with average academics records. So, while getting admission in the B-school don’t overthink about the placement. B- school gives you various opportunities to cross the limits, so do your best. Hard work and dedication can surely defeat average academic records.
