SOP for PhD in Human Resource Management

Till date there is no greater asset to an organization than its human resources. Even at the brink of technological
advancement and automation of jobs, there is a huge vacuum that the human workforce fills. With the passing of
time, we have seen the transformation of human resources as a complex and dynamic area of study. I am an outgoing
person and was always that kid who loves interacting with crowds. I was not aware of channeling this strength until I
learned about human resources in my undergraduate years. In order to taper my focus towards my area of
interest, I am looking forward to studying the PhD in Human Resource Management offered by IIT Tirupati.

My approach towards academics was very serious and hence, I was able to seamlessly achieve top marks throughout
my educational tenure. I chose the PCM stream in my high school to set my path towards comprehending the business
world. My impeccable academic record helped me earn a seat at RGPV University(SIRT College)Bhopal for
Bachelor of Engineering(BE) and then RKDF University(RKDF CTR College)Bhopal for Master of Business
Administration(MBA). As I was diving deeper into the multidisciplinary curriculum of the Business Administration
program, I came across subjects like Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management. These courses
helped me learn the significant role of the people factor of any institution in deciding its success. For the graduation
project, I submitted a research paper on the impact of employee motivation on organizational productivity, fetching
me excellent grades and recognition.

After Engineering, I worked as a Project Engineer at Wipro company for almost 3 years. Besides my academic
experiences, I was exploring other ways like internships and volunteering opportunities to improve myself. I interned
with the HR department at Podium Systems Pvt Ltd, Pune and gained first hand experience in employee engagement,
recruitment processes, benefits administration and workforce development. On interacting with the employees, my
interest in pursuing human resources as a career intensified. These experiences helped me develop my communication
skills, leadership and decision-making abilities.

On analyzing my way forward, I realized that building a solid knowledge base is very crucial. A PhD in Human
Resource Management will help me build on my existing knowledge of business administration concepts and
principles.

various parts of the world that makes the community a multicultural team. I am certain that this opportunity to earn
my PhD will be a life-changing experience on a professional and personal level.

In the short term, I aim to complete the degree with a distinction. This will make a good impression on the
employers. Besides working on a single HR team, I want to help companies uncover the potential of their team and
unitedly achieve their organizational objectives. In the long term, I see myself starting my own HR consultancy in
my hometown and building foundations for small and medium scale local businesses.

I am excited about the boost that this PhD in Human Resource Management will give my skills and knowledge. I have
no doubt that this program will provide the impetus to achieve my career goals.
