Galgotias University, Greater Noida, was established in 2011 and holds NAAC A+ accreditation and UGC-DEB approval for its online programmes. The university is WES recognised for international credential evaluation.
The Online MBA in HR Management covers core MBA subjects in Sem 1-2 and adds HR-specific depth in Sem 3-4 with Competency Mapping, Compensation and Reward Management, Learning and Development, Leadership and Team Building, and Talent Management. Common subjects like Strategic Management and Business Communication are included in Sem 3.
At Rs 86,400 all-in, Galgotias is the second-cheapest MBA on EdifyEdu after IGNOU (Rs 66,000). The trade-off: no EMI, no scholarships, no Coursera or LinkedIn Learning access, no placement support, and limited brand recognition compared to NIRF-ranked competitors.

How Galgotias University Compares for HR Management
Comparing Galgotias Online MBA HR Management against peers on EdifyEdu:
vs IGNOU MBA (Rs 66,000): IGNOU is Rs 20,400 cheaper with strong government university recognition. IGNOU lacks a modern LMS with live sessions and analytics. Galgotias offers a more structured online platform at a slightly higher fee.
vs Amity Online MBA HR (Rs 2,25,000): Amity is 2.6x the cost with NIRF #22 University ranking and a large HR alumni network across Indian corporates. Amity brand carries stronger weight in HR hiring. Galgotias wins only on cost.
vs Chandigarh University Online MBA HR (Rs 1,65,000): CU is NIRF #19 and offers PwC co-teaching modules. CU costs nearly 2x Galgotias. For HR professionals who do not need PwC certification, Galgotias is the budget alternative.
vs LPU Online MBA HR (Rs 1,61,000-2,00,000): LPU offers zero-cost EMI, Coursera access, and NIRF #31 ranking. LPU provides stronger placement support. Galgotias at Rs 86,400 is roughly half the price but offers no EMI and no perks.
vs DPU Pune Online MBA (Rs 1,89,400): DPU is NAAC A++ with NIRF #41 ranking. DPU costs over 2x Galgotias and carries stronger brand recognition in Maharashtra. For Pune/Mumbai HR careers, DPU justifies the premium.

Talk to counsellorStudent Reviews — HR Management
Three reviews from Galgotias Online MBA HR Management students. Ratings from post-completion feedback.
I had 5 years in HR operations and needed an MBA for promotion to HR Manager. Galgotias gave me the credential at a price I could manage without a loan. The Competency Mapping and Talent Management subjects added practical knowledge to my existing experience.
Liked: Compensation and Reward Management was directly relevant to my role in payroll. At Rs 86,400, this was the most affordable NAAC A+ MBA I could find.
Disliked: No placement support and no recruiter connect events. You need to drive your own career advancement.
Good value for the price. If you are in UP or Delhi-NCR and need a budget MBA for HR, Galgotias works. For pan-India HR careers at large corporates, Amity or CU will carry more weight. Be realistic about what Rs 86,400 buys you.
Liked: Learning and Development and Leadership subjects were well-structured. The LMS was functional and assignments were practical.
Disliked: Brand recognition outside UP is weak. When I mentioned Galgotias at a Bangalore recruitment event, few HR leaders recognised it. No alumni network to speak of.
For HR professionals in tier-2 cities who cannot justify spending Rs 1.5L or more on an online MBA, Galgotias is a rational choice. The degree is NAAC A+ and UGC-DEB approved. That is what matters for promotion eligibility at most organisations.
Liked: Talent Management and Compensation subjects gave me frameworks I now use in my daily work. The fee was genuinely affordable for a single-income household.
Disliked: No EMI option was a constraint. I had to pay the full semester fee upfront each time.
