Top recruiters
Not your typical MBA-HR
This is an MSW program with an HRM specialization. You will cover organizational behavior, talent acquisition, compensation & benefits, labor laws, and HR analytics — but through a social-work lens that emphasizes ethics, inclusivity, and people-centric policies. Perfect if you care about workplace culture as much as business outcomes.
The verdict
Good fit
If you want a credible HR career without the hefty price tag of a private MBA, this is a smart niche pick. The 90% placement rate, recruiter list spanning Big 4, IT majors, and top banks, and a total fee of just ₹3 lakhs make it a solid value option. NAAC 'A' grade and UGC recognition add legitimacy. Just be ready to explain the 'social work' angle in interviews — it is not a traditional MBA, so some pure consulting circles may weigh brand differently.
