Of course, in MBA, you will get detailed knowledge about complete HR. If it's not possible to go for regular, at least you can go for part-time or through distance learning. Otherwise, it will be like working without any knowledge. Even though if you have experience, if you have some knowledge, at least you can do your best in your career. All the best...

Hi Ashwini,

I have completed MBA in HR through IGNOU (Open University). I have 2.5 years of experience in HR, particularly in the manufacturing industry (Generalist Profile). However, I believe that most IT companies may not consider this experience due to their different recruitment policies.

Could you suggest what steps I can take to support my career growth?

Regards,
Rahul

Hi,

I have completed PGDHRM from IGNOU along with MPA. I am still facing difficulties in securing a better position in the corporate world, even though I am presently working as a Manager-HR in the ancillary Automobile sector of Tata Motors Ltd. (PCBU). I am considering pursuing a PG course in Management (HR) or MBA (HR) from a reputable institute through distance learning. Can anybody help me find a suitable way forward that will aid in my career growth?

Please assist. Thank you! :)

Pathan, you need to pursue an MBA with HRM specialization for two important reasons.

First, an MBA will give you an overall idea of the business environment and how business organizations work. Second, you will also learn about other functional areas of management such as Marketing, Finance, Operations, etc. These two aspects would be missing if you are not an MBA student.

All the best,
Chandra

Hi,

I have been a practicing HR professional in the Hospitality Industry with no formal MBA in HRM. My qualification is a Hotel Management Degree and I started my career as a Chef. For the past 15 years, I have been holding the numero uno post in HR in various Hospitality companies. The fact that one understands the Operations and working of the industry helps in deeper involvement of the HR processes as a department and as an individual.

It is true that larger corporates and BPOs ask for XLRIs or TISS graduates. This, I feel, is because there has to be some filtration standards, or else they would have to go through a large number of candidates for those juicy high-paying jobs. But believe me, there are jobs that seek professionals with an understanding of their business operations. If qualifications were the only secret to success, then you should pursue a Ph.D. in HRM and not stop at an MBA degree!!!!

Customize your education to augment your experience. Good Luck To YOU!!!!

For an HR job, although an MBA is not compulsory, it is always desirable to have either an MBA with an HR specialization or an LLB. ICFAI's campus programs are well on par with Symbiosis and other B-schools.

Hi,

No, an MBA is not compulsory for you. For knowledge upgrading, you can take courses in HR from ICFAI; that would be better for you. If you are interested in pursuing an MBA, it would be better to do it in a technical field like IT. This choice would provide more career opportunities for you.
