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

Hi Gandhi,
Yes, It all depends upon the company.
An MBA regular is always having a preference over MBA correspondence.
But in contrast, in the corporate world, an experince of 10 yrs, ads on a degree.
HR policies always decide the priorities.

Dear Mr. Gandhi,
I personally feel there is no substitute for Experience, MBAs really matters in the initial years of your Career after that it is all experience.
Now, the main reason Companies especially IT Companies go in for MBA or other professionally recognised degrees is that they show it as their Qualified Manpower Resource which is required while getting an overseas project. An overseas client neither have the time or nor is in a position to evalute the experiences of every employee of his outsource partner. So, as an yard stick for quality MBA definitely is recognised as a professional qualification hence having an edge. This is more important because MBA is an essentially American Concept and the world economics is rule by US. A very good example can be seen in small Export or IT firms where they appoint HR but in reality the necessity of HR is not there. There are lot of Industrialists like Late Dhirubhai Ambani, L.N Mittal, Russy Modi who were not MBAs.
So, the answer to your question on an absolute angle will be a resounding No, but since the number of MBAs or for that case professional degrees in an Organisation helpsto increase it's status and recognisability in the eye of the Western World it is becoming an essential qualification.

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

hi all,
Experience is everything but exp. in any thing does not make u sense for work in anywhere. And first u relaise that how your study in particular field works. it is just like ur training that after studying u realize that what u were and after getting knowledge what u are.
So theory is important, but however, experience in the particular field is rather more important.. in practical u see that what u read is now implementing.. more suggestions are welcomed.

Hi Manish,
Its not that way,
If you are a PGDBA(HR) correspondence with equivalent experinve in the same industry your experince matters and this gives you an added advantage over MBA regular fresher.
But if you are not having the relevant experince that you are passing the ball in other course.
