For anyone facing similar issue, this is how i tackled it!

$my_dept = xprofile_get_field_data( $field_id, get_current_user_id(), 'array' );
if( empty( $my_dept ) ) {
 $my_dept = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( 'SELECT value FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = %d AND user_id IN ('.get_current_user_id().')', $field_id ) );
 }

Hope this helps!
