About This Specialisation
The Uttaranchal University Online MBA in HR Management is offered by Uttaranchal University (UU), a private university established in 2011 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. UU holds NAAC A+ accreditation and UGC-DEB approval for its online programmes. The degree is WES recognised.
The HR Management specialisation covers Training and Development Practices, Performance and Compensation Management, Industrial Relations and Labor Laws, and HRM Planning Bargaining and Negotiation Process across Semesters 3 and 4. The inclusion of Industrial Relations and Labor Laws is a differentiator. Many online MBA HR programmes skip IR and labour law depth, which limits graduates in manufacturing, unionised, and compliance-heavy environments.
At Rs 94,000 net (one-time), this is one of the most affordable NAAC A+ online MBAs with a dedicated HR track. The trade-off is limited brand recognition outside Uttarakhand and North India. For HR professionals who need the credential and labour law knowledge at minimum cost, UU HR Management is a practical choice.

How Uttaranchal University Compares for HR Management
Comparing Uttaranchal University Online MBA HR Management against peers:
vs IGNOU MBA HR (Rs 66,000): IGNOU is the cheapest option with government university brand. IGNOU covers HR broadly but lacks a modern LMS. UU at Rs 94,000 offers dedicated Industrial Relations and Labor Laws plus structured online delivery. For labour law depth at affordable cost, UU has an edge.
vs Galgotias Online MBA HR (Rs 86,400): Galgotias is NAAC A+ at a similar budget tier with a mandatory Master Thesis. Both are North India focused. UU offers dedicated IR and Labor Laws as a separate subject, which Galgotias may not. Fee difference is under Rs 8,000.
vs Amity Online MBA HR (Rs 2,25,000): Amity is 2.4x the cost with NIRF #22 and larger alumni network. For pan-India HR roles at mid-to-large corporates, Amity HR carries stronger recognition. UU delivers NAAC A+ at under Rs 1 lakh.
vs LPU Online MBA HR (Rs 1,61,000): LPU offers NIRF #31, Coursera Plus, and stronger placement infrastructure. At 1.7x the cost, LPU is a meaningfully stronger package for HR careers.
vs CU Online MBA HR (Rs 1,65,000): CU is NIRF #19 with PwC co-teaching. At 1.75x the cost, CU offers substantially better rankings and industry integration.

vs DPU Online MBA HR (Rs 1,89,400): DPU is NIRF #41, NAAC A++. At 2x the cost, DPU offers higher accreditation grade and Maharashtra regional strength.

Talk to counsellorStudent Reviews — HR Management
Three reviews from Uttaranchal University Online MBA HR Management students. Ratings from post-completion feedback.
I work in HR at a pharma manufacturing plant in Haridwar. The IR and labour law subjects were exactly what I needed for compliance and union management. UU brand is well-known in Uttarakhand industry circles. For manufacturing HR roles in the region, this MBA delivered what I needed at a price that made sense.
Liked: Industrial Relations and Labor Laws was the strongest subject. Directly applicable to my role at a manufacturing unit. The Rs 94,000 fee with NAAC A+ is outstanding value.
Disliked: No SHRM or HRCI certification alignment. If you need global HR certifications, you will have to pursue them separately.
If you work in North India's manufacturing or SME sector, UU HR is a solid credential. If you are targeting HR roles at IT majors or MNCs in metro cities, invest in LPU, Amity, or CU. The brand gap is real, even with NAAC A+. Good programme for the fee, but manage your brand expectations.
Liked: Performance and Compensation Management gave me frameworks I use daily in my C&B role. No-cost EMI was a genuine help.
Disliked: Brand recognition is weak in Gurgaon's IT corridor. HR managers at large IT companies did not recognise UU. I had to explain the NAAC A+ tag.
This MBA is for people who already have HR jobs and need the qualification. It is not a career-launch programme. I used it to move from HR executive to HR manager at my existing company. For that purpose, UU HR Management at Rs 94,000 was the right investment.
Liked: HRM Planning and Negotiation Process was well-taught. The semester fee of Rs 24,500 was genuinely manageable on a junior HR salary.
Disliked: Career services and placement support for online students are minimal. The university does not actively connect online MBA grads with recruiters.
