Hrm
With ever increasing industrial impetus on People management and Human resource Strategy and Planning, we at XImb came up with a unique industry suited and tailor-made program in Human resource management christened PGdm-Hrm. The PGdm-Hrm is an AICTE approved two-year residential programme with a sharp focus on People management. The PGdm-Hrm program is envisioned to develop future ready Hr managers with excellent Hr Planning, Strategy and Leadership skills. Human resource management is a multi-faceted sector that needs exposure not only in the concepts of People management but also in other areas like Finance, marketing, operations, Strategic management and business ethics for overall development of future Hr managers. The subjects are taught by experts who are eminent personalities from industry as well as academia. The curriculum has been so designed that the student not only gains a theoretical perspective about the subjects but also a practical first hand exposure to real life issues in the form of case studies, group exercises, leadership talks, seminars and industrial visits.
