Hi guys and girls,
What do you feel if a situation arises with a fresh MBA or someone with less experience (maybe 2 or 3 years) and a graduate (without MBA or PGDBM) with 10 years of experience in administration for recruitment as an HR Manager? Whom do you think the management will give preference for the said appointment? Do you feel an MBA/PGDBM is mandatory in practice?
Appreciate your inputs.

Hi Gandhi,
Good you have put up this query in our citeHR forum.
I used to have some similar queries about practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge. After a lot of struggle and patience, I have reached the stage where I am an HR Manager in the IT industry right now, with a minimum number of employees.
I am not a graduate (just finished my Diploma and waiting for results). But my Employers wanted someone with practical knowledge, where an individual has gone through barriers and knows some individuals in any industry who can guide us whenever required, if we maintain a good rapport in this field.
But Gandhi, I think it totally depends on the company (private or corporate).
But of course, now I have realized that Education also means a lot. It clears your path to success and reduces struggle (which is actually good, I believe).
Now I am planning to complete my graduation, which is a difficult task, but I will keep trying until I succeed.
Do let us know about Gandhi and my inputs.

Hi Gandhi,
Yes, it all depends upon the company. An MBA regular always has a preference over MBA correspondence. However, in contrast, in the corporate world, an experience of 10 years adds on to a degree. HR policies always determine the priorities.

Dear Mr. Gandhi,
I personally feel there is no substitute for experience; MBAs really matter in the initial years of your career, after which it is all about experience.
The main reason companies, especially IT companies, opt for MBAs or other professionally recognized degrees is that they present them as their qualified manpower resource, which is necessary when securing overseas projects. An overseas client neither has the time nor is in a position to evaluate the experiences of every employee of their outsourcing partner. Therefore, as a yardstick for quality, an MBA is certainly recognized as a professional qualification, giving a competitive edge. This is more crucial because the MBA is essentially an American concept, and the world's economics are dominated by the US. A prime example can be observed in small export or IT firms that appoint HR personnel when the need for HR might not actually exist. There are many industrialists like Late Dhirubhai Ambani, L.N. Mittal, and Russy Modi who were not MBAs.
So, the answer to your question from an absolute standpoint would be a resounding no. However, since the number of MBAs or other professional degrees in an organization helps enhance its status and recognizability in the eyes of the Western world, it is becoming an essential qualification.

Hi Gandhi,
This is a good question. It depends on the skills, exposure, and mindset of the individual. Qualification stands next. It's very important that the individual should have a flavor of HR - a service mindset, with skills to implement what he feels that as an HR you can do. Skills help you in formulating strategies, exposure gives you confidence in handling issues, a service mindset keeps your employees happy, and knowledge tells you what all an HR can do.
So, if you are hiring an HR professional, to me, you should look at these factors during the interview. Trust you appreciate my thoughts.

Hi all,
Experience is everything, but expertise in anything does not necessarily qualify you for work anywhere. First, you need to realize how your study in a particular field operates. It is akin to your training; after studying, you understand who you were, and after gaining knowledge, you become aware of who you are.
So, theory is important, but experience in the specific field holds even greater importance. In practice, you witness how what you've read is now being implemented. More suggestions are welcomed.

Hi Gandhi and all,
Is an MBA (HR) equal to a PGDBA (HR) or not? Are the IIMs the number 1 business schools in India that offer PGDBA, while IGNOU or any other university offers an MBA? Additionally, is it true that an MBA is equivalent to 3 years of study and a PGDBA is equivalent to 2 years? If someone chooses an MBA, is it considered equivalent to a PGDBA?
Correspondence courses are often not preferred over regular MBAs. What about experience? Why do people say there is no substitute for experience? Does this imply that your experience is insignificant before completing a regular MBA? Does this mean we are disregarding our own beliefs about the value of experience?
Please respond.

Hi Manish,
It's not that way. If you have a PGDBA (HR) qualification through correspondence along with equivalent experience in the same industry, your experience matters, and this gives you an added advantage over an MBA regular fresher. However, if you do not have the relevant experience, then you are passing the ball to the other course.
