Hi SRKULKARNI

MHRM , IIT KGP admissions are profile based besides the cat scores. As it is a well known fact that IITs turn to CAT for the first time this year & it is really hard to predict the cutoffs now.MHRM do not solely depend on cat scores as weightage is given to profile too which include your extra and co curricular activities and prior job experience .

And your Second Question . Regarding the placement . IIT used to offer M.Tech in HRM from 1982 but coined as MHRM from 2010 with JMET intake . The first MHRM batch is yet to be placed . The placement season begins from MID-December . I can only comment on the Internship Placements of 2010-12 MHRM batch which ranged from 15000-35000 per month .

All the Best
DOUBT :-(


Do we have to fill the two forms (General MBA and HR ) seperate ??


Hi DEEPAKPHALSWAL

Genenral MBA with Specializations Finance,Marketing , Operations,SCM is offered by the VGSOM,IIT Kharagpur an autonomous body . MHRM- Specialization in HR is offered by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Kharagpur. Both of them are taking in CAT scores for their admission process, they do have a separate application and admission process.

My profile is
B.E 68.2
X 82.24
XII 53.50

CAT QA/DI - around 15-17 (85% acc)
VA/LR - around 22 ( 90 % acc)

Do i stand a chance???

As per the eligibility criteria you are in . But regarding the CAT score and profile it is again dependent. And CAT scores are always miracles and surprises . So i would suggest wait till the results of CAT were out.

Hi

As you said the course is not new , only its name has been changed from 2010 ..


what was the placement scenario till last year ???

Also what is the average work ex of the batch you are in ?

Thank you

Hi

As mentioned earlier its an M.Tech course in HRM taken through GATE score. PSUs Used to visit the campus as the final placement is taken care by Placement Cell IIT Kharagpur students used to land themselves in the pay scale of 6.5-8 L CTC per year . But most of the students used to opt for Ph.Ds in foreign universities. So I would not ask you to rely on the placement figures of M.Tech programme which is a free course with stipend.

And regarding the Average work experience

00 - 11 months 56%
12 - 24 months 22%
24 - 36 months 22%

All the best
