With the encouraging current growth rate and many sectors in India doing extremely well, managing the organisation’s human resources has become a critical issue. Specialists in the field of Human Resources are much in demand today for deploying their skills to hire, manage and retain talent in times of downturn and economic growth.

The World Competitiveness Report has rated India’s human resource capabilities as being comparatively weaker than most Asian nations. Companies today realize that world class human resource capability is pivotal to global success. This has changed the outlook of Indian corporate cultures towards Human Resource Management in recent years. Whether it is Indian firms with a global outlook, global firms seeking to adapt to the Indian context or the HRM practice in PSU’s, HR practices and managers are being seen as critical for a competitive edge.

In light of this, The Department of Human Resources and Behavioural Sciences is launching an MBA Program in Human Resources. The USP of the program lies in its design and delivery of core courses, sector specific inputs, skill building workshops and tie-up with professional forums.
