Which course is better HRM or BM from XIMB?
To begin with, let me tell you that XIMB offers MBA-BM whereas XAHR offers MBA-HRM. XAHR or Xaviers School of Human Resource Management was started after the immense success of the HRM program of XIMB.
Now coming to your question, the program you choose will be an important factor in shaping your career so it should be based on your inclinations. Get a clear idea of the various arenas and specializations of Management and the required skills. Both the courses deal with very important elements of Management but HRM specifically deals with the primary asset of any company, The employees.
BM offers an MBA in various fields like
- Finance
- Sales and Marketing
- Operations
- Consulting
- General Management
Each of these specializations have its own pros and cons. For instance, if you are into number crunching, operation management, and market mapping, then BM is a good choice for you. You can get further details of the course on the official website. Analyze what course and why attracts you the most and make an informed decision. So only you can decide which course to take as this is a subjective question based solely on your personal preference.
How is XIMB BM in comparison with NMIMS HR?
If you compare the two institutes purely based on brand value, location, batch strength, etc. then it is clear that NMIMS Mumbai is the better institute. XIMB Bhubaneswar was a much better institute before, but it has lost its old charm now and has been clearly overtaken by NMIMS Mumbai.
This could be due to the placements on which the students did not concentrate well enough or the institute did not change the course structure according to the market demand or simply that the location and other advantages got NMIMS to a better spot. This is not to say that XIMB Bhubaneswar is bad, in fact, it is better than many other private B-schools, but it has lost itself to NMIMS Mumbai.
Now comparing the two courses, the MBA in Business Management (MBA - BM) from XIMB Bhubaneswar is the core program of the institute with the option of pursuing specializations in operations, marketing, and HR after first year. The HR program in NMIMS Mumbai grooms the students to be future HRs from day one.

As it can be seen, XIMB BM does provide a better average CTC to its students than the NMIMS HR. But the difference is negligible and considering the brand reputation, location and other things such as future growth potential, NMIMS HR is a better choice of the two purely in terms of placement perspective as it is the dominant decision-maker for many students. However, if you are not interested in HR and want to go for other specializations, then XIMB BM is your only choice and is not bad either.
What should be preference order of IMT Ghaziabad courses- PGDM, PGDM marketing, PGDM finance, PGDM DCP, PGDM banking, insurance and financial services?
IMT Ghaziabad offers a variety of courses that cater to various specializations. These courses have been listed and explained in their order of preference
- PGDM Marketing/PGDM Full Time (Marketing): This is the most coveted program among IMT students mainly because today its alumni have acquired top positions in big firms. Other major reasons include top-notch faculty, great internship and placement opportunities in terms of role and CTC, IMT’s eligibility, and excellent performances in recognized marketing and strategy B Schools competitions.
- PGDM Finance/PGDM Full Time (Finance): This one is most suitable for aspirants who are interested in Finance. However, this program offers lesser opportunities than the Marketing program in terms of role and CTC.
- PGDM Full Time (Operations): This program offers opportunities similar to that of Finance. But the batch size of PGDM Operations is smaller than PGDM Finance, so it may be easier to secure an internship/final placement, but the opportunities come less compared to Finance.
- PGDM DCP: DCP or the Dual Country Program is for those who are keen to get international exposure. Compared to an MBA from a foreign university, this program is cheaper and yet offers an opportunity to explore a different culture and learn to make decisions in an international context. This is best suitable for those who are in the Marketing domain.
- PGDM Banking and Financial Services (PGDM-BFS): This program was launched in 2019 and is relatively newer. It targets the core Banking and Finance sector. While the MBA program aims to provide a holistic view of management, this program solely focuses on Banking and Finance.
- PGDM Full Time (HR): This is the least taken course and offers very less in terms of opportunities.
The courses have been arranged preference-wise so will make it easy for you to choose one.

Which is better among TISS HRM, and JBIMS MMS?
TISS offers one of the best HRM programs, rivaling that of XLRI HR, and has produced highly competent individuals in this field. If you have a strong passion for HR and are confident in your choice, TISS would be an excellent choice for you to pursue this specialization.
On the other hand, if you are uncertain about your career path, it may be advantageous to keep your options open. In this scenario, it would be best to choose a college that allows you to decide on your stream later, rather than committing to a specific specialization immediately. This approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what best suits your individual needs and goals.
Regardless of your choice, both TISS and JBIMS have top-notch individuals in all areas of management, so you can be assured that you will receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to be mentored by skilled professionals.

Is MBA in HRM a good option in terms of academics and placements from the new IIMS? I have heard that only IIM Ranchi is good for HRM.
Many of the old and new IIMs do not place as much emphasis on HR jobs or electives as XLRI and TISS. If you took a few HR electives and graduated from an old IIM, you may still be able to secure a decent HR job. However, attending XLRI or TISS would likely be a more practical choice for someone interested in a career in HR. New IIMs, including IIM Ranchi and IIM Indore, which now offer PGP HRM programs, tend to have fewer top general management or consulting roles available and almost no great HR roles.
An MBA in HRM is generally considered most useful from XLRI, TISS, SCMHRD, XIMB, and MDI. If you are considering an MBA in HR from IIM Raipur, Udaipur, Sambalpur, Jammu, Nagpur, Bodh Gaya, Trichy, or Vizag, it may not be the best decision.
How good in MBA in HRM in IIM when compared with XLRI?
Getting to know from friends studying at these colleges. It is important for you to note that all of the IIMs do not offer a specialized program in Human Resource Management. Only IIM Ranchi and IIM Indore offer a dedicated program in the field of HRM. Here are some of the facts you must keep in mind before making any decision.
Make an informed decision
- MBA in HR is way different than MBA in any other stream.
- MBA is all about being analytical and calculative.
- But if you choose to pursue HRM, you should be able to focus on human interactions and relationships.
Brand name
- You may feel that some great B-schools in India such as XLRI, MDI, and TISS are as old as the IIMs and possess the same brand value.
- If you do not get a seat in an old IIM or are not obsessed with an IIM tag then mentioned colleges will be good for you.
- They are equally good as the IIMs.
Faculty Team
- IIMs are known for some of the finest professors in all of their specializations.
- As the number of students in HRM is less, this also affects the number of faculty in that department.
- XLRI has some great professors in HRM.
Peer group
- Most of the learning outside the classroom comes from one’s friend circle.
- Your fellow students in IIMs incline towards specializations such as Finance, Marketing, Operations, or IT.
- Very few students opt for HRM.
- Therefore, it will be a better learning environment where most people are interested in the same topic.
The conclusion is, if you are interested and inclined towards HRM then they should opt for XLRI, and if there is uncertainty in choice, then go for IIMs.
Which college is better for HR, XIMB-HR or IIT KGP MHRM?
Without any second thoughts, XIMB HR is one of the best courses for HRM in the country. Its curriculum is highly rated and industry relevant. Many top companies have offered leading roles over the last few years.
Its legacy of 29 years has given birth to an elaborate alumni base which is another aspect of its excellence. Anyone interested in HR Management should definitely take this course.
