Here are a few things to think about when you make your decision:

Which companies hire HRM people from XLRI? Is it true that HR professionals have less workload and their job is a bit relaxed than other roles?
Any professional who is from HR understands exactly what a business requires and manages the whole process from hiring an employee to their exit with talent management & development, compliance, engagement, etc.
Setting up organizational design and development for organizations are also covered by HR professionals. The employees are just a small aspect of the bigger picture.
- My friend worked at the corporate compensation team and he used to simply work on his PC all the time. Getting into HR was because of the simple fact that he was good with numbers.
- MBA programs that offer specialization in HRM, such as XLRI PGDHRM cover all the topics mentioned above in their course work. This is why people for HR roles are taken from XLRI.
- According to the recent statistics, the major companies coming to the campus for recruiting HR students are McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc.
Traveling isn't vital for HR professionals unlike what a consultant or salesman would do, the workload is, however, very similar. At the end of the day, that aspect falls on the employer culture rather than the department itself.
Is a PGCBM from XLRI worth doing?
It depends on your expectations. Doing a PGCBM will certainly be a good addition to your resume. You will get to learn from some of the leading professionals in the field of management. You will also get the opportunity to network with XLRI alumni. You can benefit a lot if you have a start-up idea and want to learn the ropes of management.
But getting better job offers based on the certification can be difficult. A PGCBM is not as valuable as the flagship programs offered by XLRI, in terms of immediate improvement in career outcomes.

Although your summer placement is based upon your previous academic records, the final placement is more dependent on what you do in the B-school. Standards may be different and vary from student to student but, in terms of good opportunities at these B-schools, even an average student gets a decent internship.
If you work hard enough to be in the top half of the batch, you can definitely expect a good placement offer. Also, academics are not the only field that matters for the placement. There are other various factors at play such as academics, personality, additional skills, passion, and other interpersonal skills.
Many times it’s seen that students with decent academics record trails behind the students with average academics records. So, while getting admission in the B-school don’t overthink about the placement. B- school gives you various opportunities to cross the limits, so do your best. Hard work and dedication can surely defeat average academic records.
