I am working in a small-scale company as an HR with 5 years of prior experience in the Operations field. My qualification is M.Com. I want to know if I switch to a big company, can I apply for an HR position, or should a candidate hold an MBA-HR degree to apply for the same? I believe I can perform all HR-related tasks with the same efficiency as an MBA graduate. However, I question whether an MBA degree is the sole criterion to assess someone's capability and knowledge. Your valuable inputs on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

The Importance of a Degree in HR

Good question raised by you. Nowadays, the HR field is very vast, and the persons handling that job must be familiar with local and central laws. It is true that, over time, you will surely gain thorough knowledge of the HR field. However, it is necessary to have the "Visa" to enter the field, and that "Visa" means the degree. Here, I am not saying that without a degree you can't do HR work, but it is necessary to compete in today's scenario of globalization. You must have various aspects of your job profiles.

Secondly, I advise you to gain more and more knowledge of the HR field by reading and implementing what you learn.

Regards.
