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.
What kind of job/role does a person with 3 years of software development experience and XLRI HRM land up in?
Anyone who completes the HRM program from XLRI gets the same facilities as any other who has completed the program. Excluding the students who have taken year drop(s), many of your peers will have the same background.
- If you have scored high in your XAT/CAT nothing will stop the administration from granting admission to the candidate. The administration chooses to overlook the gaps in your applications if the scores meet the eligibility criteria.
- If you keep your grades high, you will definitely be called up for interviews. Then it is up to the interviewers if they want you to explain your year gaps.
- Students in XLRI HRM can get placed in a variety of roles. Many of these roles include maintenance, where the processes are already spelled out.
- Companies often come up with ‘leadership development programs where they make you cycle through various HR processes and profiles before assigning one that fits you.
On the other hand, there are companies that specialize in HR consulting profiles like Hay, Hewitt, EY, KPMG, etc where you will have to engage clients in more HR work related to design and less work of administration/maintenance.

It all depends on your goals and aspirations but these colleges will give you a good value for money. If you want to switch and pursue a career in management then it is a good choice to leave the job and enroll in any of these colleges or if you like government jobs and want stability in your career then continue with your current job. Even if you take a loan you don’t have to start paying it back right away, you will get at least a year of moratorium and the student or education loan has one of the least interest rates, worry not.
