Hi Amit,
Going for a HR Elective is a very good idea. But, you have to choose your papers while you do that. now the best in the industry is to choose something like HRM. At present the present market is good to begin, in the form of a recruiter. Many ODC's come into existence and they require MBA with HR as elective. To get a good start you can get into some HR consultancies.
They can be a good source for cognition. You can get a very good experience as a beginner. You may also get a chance in a coporate in a minimum of 6 months to one year. The fast you learn, the fast you acheive.
The best additional elective for HR will be Marketing. Marketing skill is required for any kind of job you do.
All the very best !
Regards,
Praveen.

Dear Colleague/s,
It is a nice idea to embark and eventually pick an MBA, it should be noted that this kind of qualification is expected to prepare you for executive managerial tasks and supervision be it HR, Management, Marketing even Finance.
However I would like to add quickly that the membership of relevant professional bodies would put icing on the cake for that extra lift you need and edge over others-CIPD, IPMN etal
On the whole it is okay to have HR as elective but the regular interaction with colleagues in practice would go a long way to assist in carry-out any assignments and resolving issues when they do come up.
Meanwhile consider the suggestions made.
Thanks.

if first one outdated then second oe is old, died and creameted.
'Modern management of human capital in a particular developing industry segment' seems to interesting one and hot topic.
it should cover some aspect of most of the important subject as well as get u chance to learn and give real life case studies.

MBA IN HR

My first suggestion

-contact career consultant and do an aptitude test .

get a second opinion of your interest.

WHAT IS YOUR REAL INTEREST?

Unless you have genuine interest in people / their problems/

their situations etc, it could be a dry subject.

HR covers subjects like

-human psychology

-human relations

-recruitment / selection

-induction

-orientation

-training

-management development

-compensation development

-performance appraisals

-performance management

-career planning

-coaching

-counsellinges

-staff amenities planning

-event management

-succession planning

-safety management

-staff communication

etc

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So think about HR and also other subjects like the above

list.

You need to discuss with some people and come to a

judgement, what is best for you.

The questions are centered around

-personal interest

-career interest/ why

-subject interest

-career plan

-career goal

etc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the above list of hr activities, you may be leaning towards

just 2/3 areas .

You need to determine the 2/3 subject areas and work on it

as your career plan.

Apart from career consultant, you need to take the opportunity

of discussion with some HR MANAGERS of different cos.

like IT FIELD, CONSUMER PRODUCTS, SERVICE INDUSTRY

to get a first hand view of the roles. You will find it very

different.



The prospects are very bright.

You can seek senior management position or HR DIRECTOR

OR become an independent consultant.

After that if you want to come back to me again, you are

welcome.

regards
