Whats The Difference Between MPM(Masters In Personnel Management) And MBA(HR)???????

Hi All,
I would like to know is there any difference between MBA(HR) and MPM. As far as I know,in MPM we study only HR from the day one as I have done MPM and in MBA(HR) we study all the papers in the 1st yr and specialises in HR in the 2nd year. When I got married my parents told my in-laws that I did MBA(HR), but I have done MPM. Now they say that we have cheated them. So, I want to tell them it's all the same.
Please reply?????

Hi Sweta,
If one has done MBA he has a chance to change his line.where as if
you have done MPM you have to go for HR/personnel only. This is the
only difference.nothing else.
Still people are not well versed with the management courses and they
take MBA certification as status symbol .thats all.
I have already done my two year full time PG dip in mngt(equal to MBA) but still few people ask is it MBA or just diploma.cant help.
I am in search of institutes providing MPM through distance learning
please if you know mail me the institute addresses

There is difference between MPM and MBA (HR), The focus area of HR is Training & Development. induction program, recruitment, Performance Apprasal, retention strategies, HR policies while MPM deals with PF ESIC labour walfare, some legal compliancesetc..
