All four are the best, most renowned, highly established business schools in the country. Though to be a part of one of them will be dependent on various factors
Order of choice (highest to lowest)
- Peer group: All of them give you a network of the sharpest and brightest minds, so all in the same boat.
- Culture: IIM C, XLRI, IIM B & A tie at the same spot (personal opinion completely).
- Location: Depends from person to person, so this is a ranking you'll have to do for yourself.
- Specialization: Depends on what specialization you're looking for. IIM Ahmedabad gives you the best for Consulting, IIM Calcutta for finance.
- Gut feeling: This is again, very personal, depending on what your dream college was when you started out.
- Other criteria like packages, internships, fees, etc. won't be a differentiation in these because all of them would give you very similar job profiles, and CTC and have marginally different fees.
Ultimately, the institution that you choose should align with your career goals and aspirations. It's important to research and compare each institution carefully before making a decision.

PGCHRM is an abbreviation for Postgraduate Certificate in Human Resource Management. For an HR practitioner who has not received much official schooling in the HR area, this will provide some formal knowledge of HR.
PGCHRM from XLRI Jamshedpur may help you get promoted because some organisations require it. XLRI Jamshedpur is considered one of the best college for Human resources that can give you an edge but it may not bring a big change in your career because it is not as valued as a full-time MBA.
XLRI Jamshedpur does not offer MPOD program directly but XLRI Jamshedpur offers this course in association with Weatherhead School of Management USA. XLRI Jamshedpur and US-based Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University have tied to offer an innovative program on Positive Organization Development and Change (MPOD) in India.
According to the two institutes, the new program commencing in November 2013 has been designed specifically for mid-level executives with a passion for leading change initiatives. It will aim at enhancing their leadership and change management skills, building sustainable institutions, and shaping vibrant communities.
The program which targets experienced professionals from all functional areas will cost around $35000 (or its equivalent in Rupees).
According to XLRI, the program will be facilitated jointly by an XLRI-Weatherhead faculty team which will include internationally acclaimed scholars, authors, thought leaders and intellectuals who have had a pioneering impact on organization development and change.
The interview process at XLRI covers a wide range of topics and is designed to give the interviewers a comprehensive understanding of the candidate. During the interview, you may be asked questions about yourself, your past education, any work experience you may have, your family, hobbies, current affairs, and your views on various global issues.
It is important to prepare for the classic interview questions, but it is equally important not to memorize them verbatim. Instead, be prepared for any variations of the questions that may be asked. Some commonly asked questions include:
- Can you tell me something about yourself?
- Why do you want to pursue an MBA, and why have you chosen XLRI? Why have you chosen a particular stream such as marketing or finance?
- Can you tell me about a specific incident in your past and what you learned from it?
It is essential to be familiar with every point on your CV. It is perfectly acceptable to say "I don't know" to a technical question during an interview, but it is not ideal to not be able to answer a question about yourself or your CV.
During the interview, the panelists may ask you to speak about yourself and provide arguments for and against any current government scheme. They may also ask you to design an E-R diagram for an IT system for managing the admissions process of XLRI, and can also inquire about your hobbies and passion. It is crucial to be prepared for a wide range of questions and be able to express oneself effectively.
The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.
- Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
- Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.
Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.
So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.
