MSU MHRM Entrance
Test Syllabus.
MHRM is a PG programme — the entrance test tests HR & management concepts alongside aptitude. Only 40 seats make every mark count. HR/OB section is the unique differentiator — aspirants from non-HR backgrounds must prepare this section from scratch.
Industrial Psychology & Sociology
● Industrial Psychology
● Industrial Sociology
● Fundamentals of Management
● Labour Economics & Market
Quantitative & Logical Aptitude
● Quantitative Aptitude
● Data Interpretation
● Data Sufficiency / Decision Making
● Analytical and Logical Reasoning
General & Business Awareness
● General Knowledge & Current Affairs
● Business Awareness & Corporate News
● Economy & Industry Updates
English
● Reading Comprehension & Vocabulary
● Basic Grammar & Sentence Construction
● Verbal Ability
No negative marking in MSU MHRM entrance test — attempt all questions. With only 40 seats and multiple rounds (written + GD + PI), consistent performance across all rounds is essential. HR Concepts & OB is the section that most non-MBA background candidates find hardest — Thinkoraa builds this from scratch.
After the Written Test
GD + Personal Interview
— Don't Skip This.
Unlike BBA or BCA, MHRM has GD and PI rounds after the written test. With only 40 seats, these rounds are critical — many candidates with good written scores lose their seat here. Thinkoraa prepares you for both.
Group Discussion (GD)
Typically 8–12 students per group. Topics are HR/management-related — workplace scenarios, labour laws, industrial disputes, new age HR trends. Assessed on content relevance, structure, listening, and facilitating others.
Thinkoraa Tip: For HR-themed GDs, use real examples — cite Labour Code 2020, remote work policies, or recent industrial strikes. Specific knowledge stands out over generic points.
Personal Interview (PI)
Panel of 2–3 faculty members. Covers: why MHRM, why HR as a career, your graduation background, current HR news, Labour Code 2020, your understanding of Industrial Relations, and career goals. Duration: 15–25 minutes.
Thinkoraa Tip: Prepare strong answers for "Why HR?" and "Why MSU MHRM specifically?" — mention the 40-seat cohort, faculty expertise, and IR specialisation. Show you know what you're getting into.
Career Scope After MHRM
MHRM from MSU Baroda opens doors to HR Executive, HR Business Partner, IR Manager, Talent Acquisition, L&D Specialist, and HR Consultant roles. Starting packages in Gujarat industry: ₹3.5–₹6 LPA. MSU's strong Industry-Academia linkage in Vadodara's industrial belt is a key advantage.
Key sectors hiring MSU MHRM graduates: Manufacturing (GSFC, ONGC, L&T Vadodara), BFSI, IT/ITeS, Pharma, and consulting firms.
