Hi Anil,
I have read your reply, wherein you have clarified that a PhD is possible in HR itself, but I have a few doubts in my mind.
1) I have done an MBA in Marketing (major) & HR (minor) in the year 2009. Since then, I have been pursuing my career in HR, and now I want to do a PhD in HR itself. Now, my confusion is whether I should do my specialization once again or if it won't affect my further education.
2) Another confusion I have is that I want to do a PhD from Punjab itself, but I am not able to finalize the university. I aim to pursue it with the intention that my education should carry weight in my career. Please let me know from which university I can do the same and what the criteria will be.
Kindly help me solve my queries.
Regards,

Hi Neha, well as you have done your Masters, you are eligible for Phd but with refer to your second question about the university for Phd, I don’t think there is any option for PhD in Human Resouce Management from Punjab University, but yes, you can go for PhD –distance by IMT Ghaziabad, (UP), Pune University (Maharashtra) and IGNOU which are the best options for you according to me.
Second, the question about specialization, yes it is really important and generally the student who acquired specialised degree in any field, go for Phd bcz it requires great and a strong base of knowledge of a field, skills and understanding of a subject. And as you are specialised (Major) with Marketing and HR (Minor), you acquire a lot to do if you really wanna go for PhD in HRM.
You can start your Phd while pursuing crash/short terms course in HRM which will enhance your knowledge, skills and understanding of HR and their elements and fullfil the required knowledge to go for it but need not to go for full terms specialization course as you already have done your Masters.
According to your current status, it is totally depend on your learning skills and hard work and determination.
PhD (Ph.D.) stands for Doctor of Philosophy and it is an advanced degree requiring usually three to eight years of depending on the field, research topic, and the student's skills. Most PhD degrees require the completion of coursework, comprehensive exams, and a dissertation. PhD work in any field is quite challenging and as I said above it requires great knowledge, understanding, hard work and the most important thing which comes first in it, DERTERMINATION to do something because it is a completely research.
You just need to start and will be guided by University Panal and the under guidline to do Phd with complete details, where to go, how to go and everything..
Also you can get help of your friends, seniors, and colleagues and from this place as there are number of Students available who are doing their PhD in HRM
You said you are pursing your career in HR, I would like to know more about your job and experience if you have

Dear Mr. AK Arora,
I have gone through all of your replies. Thanks for helping with your in-depth knowledge in the domain. I have done my MBA in Material Management and BTech in Chemical Engg. I am also thinking of pursuing a PhD to enhance my knowledge in the Material Management field. I need clarification on the following points and am currently working with an MNC in Material Management.
1. After a PhD in Management, which career avenues do you think one should focus on?
2. Will research work be useful in corporate life, or should one go for academics?
3. In India, do you think the top firms require a PhD holder?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and warm regards,
Nilesh Patil

Hi Friends,
I have completed B.Tech (CSE) and have 7 years of work experience in the IT sector. Currently, I am pursuing an MBA (HRM) through distance learning and I am on track to complete it by the end of this year. After that, I plan to pursue a PhD in HRM.
I would appreciate it if you could suggest the best institutes in India where I can pursue a PhD. Additionally, I would like guidance on the career path after completing a PhD, as well as the job opportunities available for PhD holders in HRM in India and abroad.
Please send your suggestions to my email:

Thank you.

B.Tech with 7 years of good experience and trying to switch careers by pursuing HRM (MBA) and further planning to go for a PhD, why?
Well Mr. Jagan, I am really keen to know why you want to go for a PhD or what actually made you feel to change your career path?
And I hope you know that by choosing HRM, your present experience, knowledge, and IT skills won't benefit you anyhow but certainly can bother you in your concentration and motivation regarding your future career life. Your long, precious 7 years of experience after relevant education have brought you here and have made you what you are today. I believe your current career path can offer you better career opportunities, therefore, you must think again about your career path and decisions.
For a PhD, one of the best skills that PhD aspirants/students require is a strong educational and knowledge base which comes with long-term study and related subject experience. If you don't have these things, I believe you can imagine how difficult it will be for you.
"Strong interest" is the second most important element required for research study, therefore, it is really important for you to know yourself and why you want to pursue a PhD in HRM and leave your current career path.
Lastly, I'd request you to go through the PhD forum for related discussions to learn more about it, the required skills, and to think about your decision and options.
