Is an MBA Necessary After a PG Diploma in HR? Seeking Advice on Further Studies in Delhi

I completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (specializing in HR) from Symbiosis. Do I need to pursue an MBA from another university? Please clarify. Additionally, I am interested in undertaking a regular diploma, either part-time (6 months to 1 year). Are there any institutes in Delhi that offer such HR courses? Your assistance is appreciated.

Kind regards,
Manish

Dear Manish,

A PGDBM at Symbiosis is sufficient to make a career in HR. So, why are you looking for an MBA or other diploma? If possible, go for a Ph.D.

Dear Manish,

Most companies do not recognize distance courses from institutions like Symbiosis, ICFAI, and others. Additionally, you may face difficulties during promotions later in your career if your peers hold full-time MBAs. My advice is not to take a chance. It can be very challenging once you are in your 30s and find yourself sitting with younger students in a full-time MBA program. It would be better to pursue it now.
