A potpourri of activities MHRM students are not like typical MBA students who are always busy with presentations and case studies. With equal importance being given to co-curricular activities, holistic development is the motto of MHRM. Each and every student is a member of a MHRM committee. Students choose their field of interest and a committee according to it. Moreover they can choose from a wide spectrum of clubs and societies operating in the campus. These societies are extremely diverse and are independently run by the student community. Some MHRM committees are:
Placement Committee This committee manages industry interaction with our present and future recruiters. All industry projects and internships being taken up by students are co-ordinated by this team. They make the placement process smooth, for the students as well as the recruiters.
Corporate Relations & Academic Committee This team is involved in improving the study content, bringing in latest trends from industries as well as facilitating studentindustry interaction
Admissions & Media PR Committee They are involved in handling the course website as well as making the course more visible in academic and industry circles. They also facilitate the process of new admissions.
Cultural Committee After all case-studies and presentations, it is the time to unwind and Cultcom is the committee that provides a stage to MHRM students to showcase their talent. They are involved in celebrating festivals and organising parties.
