Should you pick MHRM at Andhra University?
This course suits working people who want an HR degree without leaving their job.
Pick it if:
You work near the Visakhapatnam steel plant, port or pharma city: these big employers keep HR and labour welfare teams, and an HR master's fits those roles.
You cannot leave your job for two years: there are no daily classes, so you study from the portal books and write exams at a CDOE centre.
You want a degree that counts for government jobs: UGC-DEB entitles this course, so it is on par with a regular degree for jobs and higher study.
You want a known university name on your degree: Andhra University is #23 in the NIRF University ranking 2025, and employers in the state know the name.
Skip it if:
You are counting on campus placements: the CDOE shares no placement record for this course, so you find the HR job yourself.
You may want to switch to another course midway: the CDOE does not allow a change of course in the middle of the programme.
You plan to skip the assignments: assignments carry 30% of your marks, so skipping them pulls down the result even with good exam marks.
You want a private company HR job straight after the course: many private firms ask for an MBA in HR, which the same CDOE offers separately.
Counsellor's advice
If you already work and want an HR degree for a promotion, take this seat and submit every assignment on time. If you want a private HR job straight away, ask two employers which degree they want before you pay.

Andhra University Visakhapatnam: Students' Opinion
Admission to Andhra University is through the AUCET entrance exam, with successful candidates participating in a counseling process to select their preferred college. The university features a department with around 10 faculty members, including 8 experienced lecturers holding PhDs and MPhils, known for their supportive and effective teaching. The fee structure is affordable and transparent, with options for merit-based free seats and scholarships aiding those with financial constraints. Fees are paid in four installments per semester, reducing financial stress.
Study materials are provided without hidden costs. The university conducts numerous campus placement drives, offering students opportunities to intern and work with reputable organizations like Coromandel and HSL.
