Before you make the final decision, let me state that HR professionals are born and not made. I am talking from my experience of working with multinational and top Indian corporate houses, for over 25 years as a trainer. There are of course two schools of thought on this. Moreover, I have observed students, with girls on the higher side. opting for HR, because they have this wrong notion, that HR is a cushy and comfortable job. To make your career in HR, apart from having innate skills, you need to have a very strong background in psychology or sociology. HR is the backbone of any organization and it plays a very critical role in strategic planning and giving direction to the organization. Kindly give it a thought before you take the final decision. As far as institutes are concerned, you can look at, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) at Mumbai, Xavier's at Bhubaneshwar or Symbiosis (Pune)
