Faculty & Pedagogy:
Students say that the professors are excellent, and that is probably true. At least the HR department is highly renowned, and consists of award-winning professors.
Crowd & Campus Life:
While the atmosphere it SCMHRD is no doubt really good, it doesn’t mean that the course is not gruelling. Of course, the crowd is nice and well-varied, but students don’t get a lot of free time. It is a demanding program, and sleepless nights (because of work, not love) are quite common. When students finally do get some time, though, there’s enough to do in the wonderful city of Pune.
Summer Placements:
Summer placements at SCMHRD are quite commendable, with all students securing internships at leading companies. In 2010, some of the major recruiters were Reckitt Benckiser, GSK, Coke, ITC, Godrej, Cadbury, Marico etc. Profiles ranged from Finance to Consultancy to HR.
Special Attributes:
SCMHRD, like the name suggests, is most renowned for its Human Resources program, and is amongst the best in India for the same.
Verdict:
While it isn’t the best, it’s definitely a really good B-School, especially if you’re interested in Human Resources.
