knowledge and skills but also to disseminate the same to a larger fraternity. It conducts

about 12 programmes annually for the benefit of academicians, managers, and

executives. It also engages in welfare activities and action research in and around IIT

Learning about latest trends inHR through industry interactionKeeping ourselves abreast about the practical applications of the curriculum concepts we learn is an integral part of MHRM

culture. We achieve this by inviting HR professionals from various industries to discuss the HR practices and policies their

organizations have. This helps us streamline our academic curriculum with the HRM changes in the world, making our course

fresh and pro-active.

Our aim is to make such interactions more effective and mutually beneficial to HR professionals as well. We are planning for

more types of interactions such as conclaves, workshops, seminars, personal development sessions etc. The conclave will serve as

a platform for a panel of HR professionals to interact and tackle upcoming HR issues in the world.

We have had Guest Lectures from a number of companies such Dr. Reddy’s Labs, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Indian Pvt. Ltd,

Cognizant Technology Solutions, Tata Metaliks, H & M, G-Cube Solutions, Kreab Gavin Anderson, Kelsa Solutions and

Microland to name a few.

Students can attend any course of their interest in the campus in any of the departments ranging

from Vinod Gupta School of Management to Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law.

Guest Lectures organized by various departments and societies such as Entrepreneurship Cell

and Alumni Cell bridge the gap between the students and the industry. Some selectively picked

distinguished speakers come to campus to entertain as well as inspire the students through

events such as Kshitij and TED Talks.

Learning is not limited to studies. Students can learn a variety of things on the campus ranging

from squash to tennis. Events such as Shaurya provide a platform to the enthusiasts to learn rare

arts like fencing and archery. Springfest brings out the creative side of a student and this year

students learnt contemporary dancing and salsa moves from instructors coming in especially

from Shiamak Davar Academy, Mumbai.

Along with this formal learning there is a lot of informal learning going on at the campus.

Students interact with a motley crowd ranging from young technologists to determined

research scholars, management smarties to law school brainies. And this widens the horizons of

thinking and approach towards the world.

A potpourri of activitiesMHRM 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:

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.

This team is involved in improving the study content, bringing in latest trends from industries as well as facilitating student-

industry interaction

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.

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.

This team is involved in maintaining contact with the alumnus of our programme, taking their guidance, providing them

information about the recent developments in the campus and other engagement programmes.

“The People Tree”, a bi-annual e- Magazine, is an earnest initiative by the students of Master of Human Resource Management,

Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Kharagpur, to provide a platform for HR enthusiasts across B-schools and

different industries to share their ideas and perspectives on a spectrum of issues related to Human Resource Management.

Some of the other societies which are popular among MHRM students are Technology Dance Society, Hindi and English

Dramatics Societies, Eastern and Western Music Societies, Debating Society, Photography & Film making Society etc. They can

also choose to work for international & national work-groups such as AIESEC, Teach for India, Vivekanand Study Circle etc.

This sharpens their people skills, gives them a unique exposure and rejuvenates their creative faculties.
