Human Resource Management - Career Queries

Dear aspirant, As I know MIM course is self financed programme of university. It is not well recognized programme by AICTE/UGC like MCA or B.Tech or M.Sc.IT or PGDITM. So that I suggest not to go for MIM for future career. I suggest you have to go for MCA/ B.Tech/M.Sc.IT for career in IT field. All the best.

Hello Honey,  Every professional these days opt for an MBA to achieve a higher position. But ofcourse MBA is not the ultimate.  Please note being a commerce graduate is the first step towards a finance career. Along with graduation, you could opt for certificate courses like CA or CS. After graduation and few years of work experience, you could opt for courses like ICWAI or CFA. or courses related to financial markets or trade markets.  Insurance is another field open for a finance graduate. You could opt for a course in Actuarial science. Hope this helps. Wish you good luck...

Hello Girija,  Its like too many questions together making it more and more complicated. But its better being complicated and questioning now than regreting later. If in the future you have decided to pursue MBA, then a graduation in any field is alright because anyways its just your management certificate that would matter only. But still as said one must pursue higher studies as per their basic qualification.  Hence, pursuing a undergraduate management course like BMS or BBA would be beneficial as you would get an idea about management and what you would face in the future. Incase

Hi Vidhi, Go ahead and do a MBA in tourism. If you do it from a good college; then your future is secure. Do it provided; you love meeting people, organising things and events and of course traveling. Not many persons select such a course. But, the competition will be less; and India is one of the hottest tourist destinations of the world. It is only bound to grow at a rapid pace. Your friends and family members (maybe people around you) may say that 'Do HR or Finance'. But, let me warn you that there are enough people doing the same. So, competition is tough; and growth may be slow. It's a sa

Dear Aspirant, Nice to know about your entrepreneurial stint. Commendable! How come you have realised that HR is the field for you in the future? That too suddenly? You have worked for call centres and then you were in education domain and now you are thinking of HR profession? This is weird. I feel, you should continue with your business in education coaching which has possibility of high returns and satisfaction. A job will not give you the satisfaction of having your own entity and running it. You are 32 years of age and without qualification and knowledge in Human Resource, you will not ge

Selection of the entrance test shall be dependent on your choice of a BSchool. If you are aiming for IIMs, then CAT is mandatory.

Dear Aspirant, There is definitely scope for management in agriculture, however only if you are a qualified Agriculturist and have the necessary technical knowledge and experience. Also, MBA should be opted only after some years of work experience in the relevant field. Please do not consider MBA as the technique or a ticket to jobs in the relevant field. You should definitely do MBA in AgriBusiness since it will make you learn the business aspects of agriculture. Best wishes

There are many courses for you to choose from, but your interest is of utmost importance.

CAT requires qualitative, not quantitative preparation. When it comes to CAT preparation, the teachers create the real difference. There are institutes which provide good coaching to achieve 90 percentile like iQuanta, TIME  coaching. CAT is an exam that tests your expertise in 3 basic fields:- 1.Mathematics and data interpretation. 2. English and reading comprehension. 3.logical reasoning. If you are serious for CAT, you cannot ignore any one of the sections. One has to be a jack of all the three sections to ace the test, this becomes more important since one never knows what the compos

Dear Aspirant, Labour Laws, Learning & Development, HR Strategy are some of the fields in which you can specialise in the HR domain. If you are not an HR MBA qualified, doing that is recommended. If you are already an MBA, then a short term executive development programme with one of the top BSchools is recommended. Switching jobs is also recommended if you want growth and change in work environment and culture. Alternatively, think for starting your own recruitment consultancy services which require very less capital but large number of contacts. Best wishes

Dear Aspirant, Firstly your question suggests that the Human Resource field you chose was itself a wrong career decision and therefore now after years you have realised that human resource is no more of interest to you and you now think of shifting to another field. I would have understood if you told me that you wish to diversify or change your domain from Human Resource to another related field, but when you say that you wish to go for Biology, it gives me the impression that you are still not sure what to do in career and life. Doing different things will not lead you anywhere and will comp

Dear Aspirant, Since you are already an MBA in HR and Marketing and if you have more than 55% in the MBA degree, then I would recommend you to appear for NET / SET examination conducted by UGC every year. www.cbsenet.nic.in Once you get NET / SET qualified, you will get eligible for jobs in senior commerce and management colleges in all over India. Doing MA Education will not serve any purpose since you are an MBA and you can teach HR and Marketing. Further, I wouls suggest you to aim for a PhD in your subject so that you can get higher positions in the teaching industry. Best wishes

Dear Aspirant, You have not mentioned any of your background details in terms of education, number of years of work experience, current job profile, etc. As you explain your problem to a medical doctors, you should do the same here since we are Career Doctors.

Dear Aspirant, I agree with Ms. Meghana too. I find no use of dfoing something advanced in Human Resource and that too from abroad. Please remove the apprehension that doing something as a fresher from abroad gives you some thing extra. As a fresher your priority should be to find a job. Getting work experience is a must for you now. Along side a job, you may get certified Psychometric Assessment Techniques, Psychology courses, Labour Law course, ISO Certifications, Six Sigma Certifications. These will help you in Human Resource.  Learning and Development is a very critical aspe

Dear Aspirant, To work in a corporate culture, you need to leave your job in training institute. You are a MBA HR & Marketing and you are into Admin. Hope you are interested in HR domain.

Dear Aspirant, By PG in Accountancy do you mean MCom in Accountancy? If yes, then I would recommend you to do CPA. Ofcourse this will depend on your real interest in Accountancy and Audit. If the answer is yes, then definitely CPA would add value. With CPA you have less scope for direct employment in India. Only CPA qualified professionals get jobs abroad. Ideally a Chartered Accountancy doing CPA course is seen and is beneficial. CFA is a different course altogether. This is not related to Accounting. CFA is about Financial Analysis, where your Accounting knowledge will be required but it is
