At Chitkara Business School, the Human Capital Resource Centre (HCRC) is redefining HR education through a visionary mentor-mentee model that bridges the divide between academic theory and real-world business practice. Reviving the age-old guru-shishya tradition in a modern format, HCRC fosters meaningful, one-on-one industry mentorships, immersing students in the lived realities of human resource management.
By uniting aspiring HR professionals with seasoned industry mentors, HCRC ensures that learning is not confined to classrooms but deeply embedded in lived corporate experiences. This is not just training — it’s transformation, one relationship at a time.
HCRC is not a conventional HR education model – it is a lifelong professional journey shaped through experiential learning, mentorship, purpose-driven development, global perspectives, continuous skill enhancement, industry engagement, and leadership readiness.
A unique one-on-one mentor-mentee program where students are paired with leading HR professionals from industry, offering real-time guidance, insight, and career direction.
In Year 2 of the MBA, the mentorship evolves into a paid internship, offering hands-on exposure to live HR challenges, allowing students to apply their learning in real work environments.
The first year covers core and specialised HR modules, establishing a strong academic base before mentorship begins — ensuring students are ready for deeper, field-based learning.
Personalised mentorship, a rigorous selection process, and a globally aligned curriculum empower future HR professionals to drive talent excellence and enhance organisational performance through strategic thinking, industry immersion, and ethical leadership.
Structured, long-term guidance from industry experts, culminating in paid internships in Year 2.
Diverse cohort including fresh graduates and working professionals, with international representation & global exposure.
Candidates admitted via CAT/MAT/XAT followed by Group Discussions and Personal Interviews (1:10 selection ratio).
