Indian Institute of Management IIM Ahmedabad Post-graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management (PGP-ABM)

Post-graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management (PGP-ABM)
The Two-Year Post-Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management (PGP-ABM) is designed
to prepare students for careers in management related to food & agribusiness and allied sectors in
an international environment. What makes this sector-specific programme special compared to
many other agribusiness programmes is that the programme curriculum has a leading-edge
managerial foundation firmly rooted in IIMA's "management" culture and proficiency with a
focus on food and agribusiness. PGP-ABM has been consistently ranked Number 1 in the World
in Agribusiness and Food Industry Management programs by Eduniversal, Paris, France.
1. Eligibility
Candidates must satisfy requirements as given in either section 1.1 or 1.2 below:
1.1 The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in agricultural sciences or
agriculture-related disciplines, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [in case of the
candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled
(DA) category, this is relaxed to 45%], of any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the
central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of
Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or
possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.
The Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a
minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or
equivalent.
OR
1.2 The candidate must hold at least a Bachelor’s/Master’s degree or equivalent qualification in
any non-agricultural discipline from a University or Institution as defined in the above
paragraph and have a strong interest in agriculture, food, rural and allied sectors. Such
candidates will be required to submit a special form as described in section 2.1 under
admission procedure. Failure to submit the form will disqualify the candidate from
being considered further for admission to the programme. The Bachelor’s Degree or
equivalent qualification obtained by the candidates must entail a minimum of three years of
education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent.
The percentage obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s/master’s degree would be based on
the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the
degree. In case of the candidates being awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the equivalence
would be based on the equivalence certified by the university/ institution from where they have
obtained the degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting
CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by IIM Ahmedabad by
dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with
100.Candidates appearing for the final year bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification
examination and those who have completed degree requirement and are awaiting results can
also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the
Department/ Registrar/ Director of the university/ institution certifying that the candidate is
currently in the final year/is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or
equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category) based on latest
available grades/marks. Such candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme
provisionally only if they submit a certificate latest by June 30, 2014 from the
Principal/Registrar of their college/institute (issued on or before June 30, 2014) stating that
they have completed all the requirements (the results may, however, be awaited) for
obtaining the bachelor's degree/ equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the
certificate. Their admission will be confirmed only when they submit the mark sheet and a
certificate of having passed the bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification referred to in the
certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar with at least 50% marks (45% in case of
candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category). It is mandatory for the final year students, who
are provisionally admitted, to submit the mark-sheet and degree certificate of the final year
Bachelor’s degree examination (including supplementaries, if any) held on or before June
30, 2014, to be eligible for admission to the Post Graduate Programme in Agribusiness
Management (PGP-ABM) batch 2014-16. The deadline for submission of the mark sheet and
the certificate is December 31, 2014. Non-fulfilment of this condition will automatically
result in the cancellation of the provisional admission. IIM Ahmedabad would not allow any
candidate to join the programme in case the candidate is unable to complete all the
requirements for a bachelor degree on or before June 30, 2014. The IIM Ahmedabad would
also not offer admission to any candidate after June 30, 2014.

3 Preparatory Programme
Students who are identified by the Interview Committee for attending the Preparatory
Programme are expected to attend the programme which will start by end May/ early June
2014. The preparatory programme provides special inputs in mathematics, communication and
computers/information technology, and is designed to enable the students to prepare themselves
for the first year of the PGP-ABM programme. (Students who are in the final year of their
bachelor’s degree education and need to go back to complete their examination formalities
during June will be granted special leave from the preparatory programme).
4 Curriculum
The programme curriculum has a solid managerial foundation, a focus on food and agribusiness
marketplace, and is designed to build and enhance a global perspective among participants. The
course comprises three components: the core management courses, compulsory food and
agribusiness related courses and electives courses. The core programme consists of 33 core
management courses encompassing 25.50 credits in the first year and is common with the PGP to
enhance learning due to multiple perspectives and competitiveness. The first year is spread over
six slots, each of which is of five to six weeks’ duration. The compulsory package in the
programme is designed to: provide basic conceptual and analytical knowledge and inculcate attitudes and skills
necessary for managerial effectiveness in different functional areas of agri-business
management.
 develop an integrated view of organizational and managerial functioning and an
understanding of the interdependencies of subsystems; and
 create awareness and understanding of environmental forces impinging on managerial
behaviour.
Following the first year programme, students undergo Rural Immersion in two phases for a
period of about four weeks and summer internship for a period of eight weeks with the institute’s
corporate partners, which provide students field and organizational experience.
The second year of the programme consists of compulsory as well as elective courses and is
designed to impart specialized multi-functional knowledge and skills required by food and agribusiness sector managers for excellence in planning, decision-making, organization and
implementation in different sub-sectors and activities in the sector including agriculture, food,
agribusiness, rural and allied sectors. The elective courses allow students to exercise complete
freedom in the selection of courses and help the students in developing an integrated
understanding and approach on agri-business management issues and problems. In the second
year, students can do project course that involves research in the practice of management in
particular organizations or sectors. The project course helps students in gaining first-hand
experience in current management practices and philosophy.

6 Pedagogy
The cornerstone of the pedagogy used in the academic programmes at IIMA is the case method
of learning. Other methods such as lectures, seminars, group exercises, independent projects,
games, role plays, and industry/field visits are also used. Cases are descriptions of actual
management situations based on the experience of organizations in a wide range of settings.
They present facts known to executives responsible for dealing with the situations presented, and
through discussion of these situations, students learn how to solve different kinds of managerial
problems. Both Indian and international cases are used. Cases are reviewed every year to reflect
current managerial practices and trends.
7 Rural Immersion Module
After the end of the first year, students undergo the Rural Immersion in two inter-woven phases:
Phase I is conducted after the completion of first year in April and Phase II is organized during
December. The principal objective of the Rural Immersion is to give students an exposure to
rural economy, learning from interaction with the rural people, and becoming familiar with the
rural environment, society, institutions and economy. The first phase of Rural Immersion
Module is to understand the rural set up and Rural Immersion Module II known as
implementation phase is to undertake a live project dealing with managerial issues related to
agri-food and rural issues. Through Rural Immersion the students get a unique opportunity to
stay in rural India, which exposes them to rural set-up for a better understanding of rural mind
set, customs and behaviour of the rural folk. The exercise not only brings the students closer to
the ground realities and constraints in vast rural market, but also gives them a firm base on which
they could base their future decisions.
8 Summer Placements
IIMA considers that the education of a future manager is incomplete without exposure to
working in an organization. Summer placement, therefore, is an essential academic requirement
for students of the Post-Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management. After the end of the
first year, students work in an organization engaged in food and agri-business on a summer
assignment lasting about eight weeks. The summer assignment provides the student opportunities
to have a first-hand exposure to the functioning of an organization and appreciate the links across
different functions; relate classroom learning of concepts and skills in the first year to real life
management situations, and make an informed choice of specialization and career.
The second year of the programme is designed to impart specialized multi-functional knowledge
and innovative skills required by agri-business managers for excellence in planning, decisionmaking, organization and implementation in the sector and in its sub-sectors. The second year
courses also provide the students with an opportunity to pursue areas of special interest to them.
The second year includes compulsory courses in agri-business management and elective courses
from general management programme as well as from this sector.
9 Diploma
The graduates of PGP-ABM are awarded the ‘Post-Graduate Diploma in Agri-Business
Management’.
10 Placement
PGP-ABM graduates will be assisted in finding suitable placements in organizations engaged in
agri-business, food, agriculture and allied sectors. Excellent opportunities are available for
careers in upcoming agribusiness sectors like retail management, micro finance, agricultural
input companies, food processing industries, rural marketing, international agricultural trade,
global supply chain, marketing and sales forecasting for agri-business related industries, commodity exchanges, rural financial institutions, market research in agribusiness and NGOs
engaged in rural development. Students also join the companies that are engaged in procurement
business in African sub-continent.
