Course Curriculum Overview :
I graduated as an agriculture student and was interested in working in companies that are related to the course so I think Agri-Business Management was the best fit. One of the standout features is the commitment of out faculty to offer guidance on academic matters, internships, and beyond. The professors are not only highly knowledgeable but also stay up-to-date of the industry trends. What sets our faculty apart is their distinguished academic background, with many being alumni of prestigious instituitions such as IIMs, IRMA, IIT. There are 4 semester exam which are scheduled every six or four month gap depending on the internship period and mid sem for every semester. The curriculum has general MBA subjects and agri business subjects like supply chain, agri input marketing, agri finance etc and it prepares and helps the student to identify there areas of interest

Despite its relatively modest size, the room has essential amenities like study table and cupboard. The common washrooms are conveniently located. Wi-fi access on each floor. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the four daily meals, surpassing the standards of any other hostels I have experienced. Menu alternated every one to two months.

But it can happen both offline and online depending on your location. The form fee was Rs 1000. You can apply for both MBA(ABM) and MBA(RM), if you want.
