MGU M.Sc (Management and Human Resources) FAQs
Ques. Is M.Sc. Management and Human Resources offered at the MGU main campus or only in affiliated colleges?
Ans. This programme is offered exclusively through MGU-affiliated arts and science colleges and is not available at the main university campus in Priyadarsini Hills, Kottayam. Admission is through the MGU Centralised Allotment Process (PG CAP) at cap.mgu.ac.in. The main campus offers programmes like MBA (through SMBS) and MHRM (Master of Human Resource Management) as separate programmes. Students should not confuse M.Sc. Management and Human Resources with the MHRM programme offered at the main campus.
Ques. What is the difference between M.Sc. Management and Human Resources and MBA (HR) at MGU?
Ans. The M.Sc. Management and Human Resources is a science-stream PG programme offered in affiliated colleges with a total fee of around Rs. 29,600, and admission is purely merit-based without any entrance exam. The MBA (HR) at MGU's School of Management and Business Studies (SMBS) is a management programme with a total fee of approximately Rs. 1.84 lakh, and admission requires a valid KMAT/CMAT/CAT score along with a Group Discussion and Interview. The MBA carries more industry recognition for corporate HR roles, while the M.Sc. is more affordable and accessible.
Ques. What are the career options after completing M.Sc. Management and Human Resources from an MGU-affiliated college?
Ans. Graduates can pursue careers as HR Executives, Recruitment Coordinators, Training and Development Officers, Labour Relations Officers, and Administrative Managers in private companies, government organisations, and NGOs. Many graduates also appear for Kerala PSC and UPSC exams, or pursue further studies such as MBA, M.Phil., or Ph.D. in Management or HRM. The course also provides a foundation for roles in payroll management, compliance, and employee engagement.
Ques. Is there any entrance exam required for admission to M.Sc. Management and Human Resources at MGU-affiliated colleges?
Ans. No entrance examination is required. Admission is entirely merit-based, with the rank list prepared on the basis of marks obtained in the qualifying degree (Part III / Core subjects). Candidates simply need to register through the MGU PG CAP portal at cap.mgu.ac.in during the registration window and exercise their college preferences. The allotment is done centrally based on rank and availability of seats.
Ques. Can students from non-management backgrounds (e.g., B.Sc. Science graduates) apply for this programme?
Ans. Yes. The general eligibility for M.Sc. Management and Human Resources at MGU-affiliated colleges is a pass in any Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks in Part III / Core subjects. This means graduates from B.Sc. (Science), B.A. (Arts), B.Com., or BBA backgrounds are all eligible to apply, provided they meet the minimum percentage requirement. The specific eligibility may vary slightly by college, so candidates should verify with the respective affiliated college before applying.
Ques. How many seats are typically available for M.Sc. Management and Human Resources in MGU-affiliated colleges, and how competitive is the admission?
Ans. The number of seats varies by college. Typically, each affiliated college offering this programme has around 15-30 seats. Since admission is merit-based without an entrance exam, competition depends on the number of applicants and the qualifying degree marks. Students with higher aggregate marks in their undergraduate degree have a better chance of securing admission in preferred colleges. Candidates are advised to exercise multiple college options during the PG CAP registration to maximise their chances of allotment.
