Which is better, SCMHRD or IIM Ranchi PGDHRM?
If you are interested in pursuing a degree in human resources management from one of the top B schools in India, you may want to consider SCMHRD. This institute is known for its strong reputation in the field of HR and can provide you with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this competitive industry. On the other hand, if you are primarily interested in obtaining an IIM degree, then IIM Ranchi may be a good option for you. While IIM Ranchi is considered to be one of the best among the newer IIMs, it may not have the same level of prestige or reputation as some of the more established institutes.
If your primary goal is to increase your chances of being placed in a top company and obtaining a high salary package in the field of HR, then SCMHRD may be a more suitable choice. It is important to carefully consider your goals and priorities before making a decision on which business school to attend.
Why does everyone talk about XLRI HR and not BM? Is BM bad at XLRI?
It is not a question about whether or not BM is bad, and HR is good. XLRI is more known for HR because it has stuck with the brand. The brand XLRI primarily had an established legacy in Industrial Relations (IR). Which later converted into HR. XLRI established its reputation as an IR concentrated institution following the Independence of the country.
BM, on the other hand, was inaugurated only afterward alongside older IIMs. This has somehow resulted in leading to the XLRI brand getting generally and mostly associated with HR, and not BM. It’s rare to find any industry or top-tier companies in the country where the top HR personnel is not from XLRI.
Now when talking about BM at XLRI, there is definitely a strong and successful alumni base from BM in the industrial sector. In fact, for further recruitments, alumni of XLRI get placed in McK, BCG, and several more from the BM sector.
Does IIM Ranchi PGDHRM have a sectional cutoff?
IIM Ranchi has Sectional as well as Overall cutoff. The cutoff for 1st Stage of Shortlisting is decided by the Candidate’s Valid Scores in the CAT Examination. While for the Final Selection, CAT Percentile, Performance in Personal Interviews followed by Academic & Gender Diversity is considered.
There is a huge weightage on work experience. This is because I have seen instances where freshers were rejected despite a 99 percentile while people with experience of 2-3 years were selected despite 90-93 percentile.
Shall I go for PGDBM from NMIMS, or shall I go for PGCBM from XLRI, Jamshedpur? Please feel free to advice any other course, apart from these two related to EMBA. I have 5 plus years of experience.
XLRI has a strong reputation for Human Resource (HR) management and Industrial Relations (IR) studies. If an individual is specifically interested in HR/IR, then XLRI would be a better option compared to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies). However, if you are looking for a general management program, then NMIMS would be a better choice because of its excellent peer group and rigorous curriculum.
XLRI is still a good institute for other streams, but it is more specialized in HR and IR. Similarly, NMIMS is known for its general management program, and it may not have the same level of expertise as XLRI in HR/IR.

- MDI Gurgaon - After this, MDI Gurgaon bags the position because of its location and strong alumni base.
- SCMHRD - It is a decent college but the quality of the crowd is substandard when compared to IIMs.
