Masters in Business Administration - Agri Business [MBA-AB]

   

This is a two-year full time residential course. Agriculture has long been seen as a sector with tremendous potential in India. The sector contributed 22% to India's GDP in the year 2005-06 and is expected to grow at more than 5% each year, in real terms, over the next decade

This coupled with changing global norms such as the WTO rulings and increased global competitiveness, proves that there is a need for professional courses in Agribusiness  

Management, and makes it one of the most challenging and exciting sectors to be in, either as a professional or as an entrepreneur.

The MBA-AB course is thus a response to this growing need for professionals who can contribute to and engineer the agribusiness revolution. This course has certain modules exclusive to the course such as Agriculture and WTO, Agro Export Management, Agricultural Finance, etc. These modules prepare the students to strike the right note when they go into the demanding world of Agribusiness Management.
