Is it necessary to do MBA in HR or is there any other single course for getting into HR?

k.prith
I have recently appeared for my TYBCOM Exams and I wish for a Good Career in HR field.
I wanted to know is it necessary to do MBA in HR or is there any other single course for getting into HR(which will be less expensive than MBA).
also if there is any single course then will it be of less value than MBA?
Please Help me solve my query and you can also tell me some information for a great start in HR.
Thank you

Hi. It is good to see an HR enthusiast out there. Does your college provide campus placements for BCOM students? If yes, can you find any HR openings among the companies that visit your campus?

I am sorry to bust the myth, but doing MBA HR is not the sure-shot way of getting into HR field nowadays. Remember, HR Dept in any company is a smaller one, as a results HR professionals constitute only a fraction of total workforce as opposed to sales or finance employees. In such scenario, finding HR jobs, especially in such dismal economic conditions can be difficult.

The irony here is that, companies are recruiting either complete freshers like BCOM/BSc, i.e. fresh graduates or MBA students from top most institutes only (TISS, XLRI, IIM and a couple more). Hence an MBA HR from any ABC college may not, rather will not guarantee entry into the field of HR, an entry that will be monetarily, intellectually and socially satisfying.

You are better off being a BCOM passout and looking for jobs which will widen your chances to other non HR field as well.

My motive behind this post is not to scare you off but to give the most honest and clear picture of where things stand.

Also by taking a work experience in the field of HR will help to carry on with you studies. I also have moved on in the field on HR currently by working in HR and have gathered experiences in Learning and development which will help me in my further studies.
Practical knowledge will definitely help you, By doing MBA, diploma , masters in IR any course will help you to make a career in HR. Even if you are unable to do MBA, whether you may be having financial problems go for 1yr diploma course instead.
