Hi Mayank,
Interesting question.
I am sure, if you go through the job role of an HR person, it involves
Recruitment and maintaining and creating a database
Performance Appraisal
Payroll and compensation management
Training and development
Now a days, HR is not only involved in recruiting and training a candidate, but is also responsible for choosing the right candidate through a database, also before hiring making sure its the right candidate. They are also involved in Psychometric testing or personality and aptitude testing so that the right candidate is hired. Its not just an interview any
Hi Harini,
Appreciate your keeness to know more and learn more. There are scores of certification programs in HR that can quench your thirst for knowledge.
However, i would suggest you first get onto a job (If not working now) and continue your certifications. When it comes to HR and allied verticals, experience matters the most than certifications.
Theory will just get us minimal knowledge and exposure is sure an edge. HRM is a vast umbrella with various sub segments like:
job design and analysis,
workforce planning,
recruitment and selection,
training and development,
performance management
Dear Aspirant,
Why do you wish to enter into a very specialised field right after 12th?
Human Resources is a good career option however, there are no good courses in HR after 12th and if available they are not at all joining due to absence of employability and knowledge.
I would suggest that you complete your graduation first in the stream you are currently in and then opt for MBA HR from a reputed and top BSchool in India.
Start preparing for the MBA entrance tests like CAT, MAT, CMAT, CET, XAT, SNAP when you enter into your last year of graduation.
Best wishes
Dear Aspirant,
Learning a foreign language as per my experience is a supplement and complement to a basic graduation and post graduation course.
However if you wish to make careers in translation, languages, then pursuing a full course in foreign languages is recommended. If not, you can do diploma / certificate courses in foreign languages.
Choosing a strong graduate and post graduate course in either commerce/arts/science/engineering/medicine is highly recommended.

Hello There,
Firstly why do you wish to make this drastic change. Secondly, think twice, because you have a degree in one field and you wish to move into another field.
Though difficult, but never-the-less, if you are keen you will land in an HR job.

Dear Aspirant,
Generally, HR round is non-technical round. The questions asked are listed by Ms. Deepti.
Technical round is always separately conducted by a member of the exact process / department in which the company is recruiting for. Here no HR questions are asked or may be asked just to make the candidate talk or express.
I would always recommend that preparing for the interview should not be done keeping in mind the rounds. You have to prepare for the interview as a whole and then you can answer any question irrespective in which round it is asked by the employer.

Dear Aspirant,
ISBF is a good Institute and they offer Diploma of LSE and University of London.
However ISBF is best known and recognised for Finance / Economics courses. if you are interested in Human Resource Management, I would recommend MBA in HR from a recognised University and Institute of high ranking.
PGDM in HR is also good if it is from Top 15 BSchool.

Hi There,
Passion towards helping humans is a big thing.
Please note that Counseling is more of empowering the individual than helping them. You are just a mediator.
As dr. rightly said, counseling is a field open to you after you pursue Psychology.
Its now upto you, how you can expand your therapeutic knowledge to different sectors of the society.
Wish you good luck...
Dear Aspirant,
I agree with Meghna.
If you could not score 50% in graduation, I am sorry to say but you may be a bad MBA too later.
Why so low marks in graduation? Why you didnt study well?
MBA through distance learning cannot save you. You need not appear for graduation again as suggested by Meghana, however, I would suggest that take admission to Masters degree and ensure that you get atleast 55% in Masters degree. This is the only option.
Best wishes

Hello Amin,
Good question asked.
Though I know BBA is a practical as well as theory course. But mind you it is at the end of the day, just a Graduate program. Please note, one is not allowed any specialization at this level. The curriculum focuses on general management studies.
Thus you would be treated as any other Graduate. You could get jobs in the starting level like data entry jobs, back office, receptionists, assistant to the manager etc.
Wish you good luck.......
