The two-year Post Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management is a full -time residential course designed with the specific objective of developing agribusiness leaders, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs with a vision, competence and appropriate attitude for promoting/ growing agribusiness and agro-based enterprises with a strong international orientation. The program has been designed to enable the learners to:

• Understand dynamics and complexities of the field of agribusiness in the emerging global context
• Acquire professional skills in using appropriate management tools and techniques in the context of agribusiness
• Strive for excellence, commitment with positive attitude to work with the farmers towards their economic upliftment

The programme follows an innovative approach in the sense that a significant number of compulsory foundation courses in the functional areas of management in the first year are blended with agricultural/ rural context specific courses in the second year.

The First Year academic work, spread over three terms, is a compulsory package of 22 foundation courses designed to provide basic knowledge of concepts, tools and techniques in various functional areas and relevant disciplines. The two-month compulsory Summer Training in industrial and business organisations follows the first year course work. The summer training is aimed at providing exposure to the real life working environment. Students are required to work on specific, time-bound organization related assignments.

The Second Year academic work, spread over three terms, comprises two compulsory courses of integrative nature along with a package of elective courses of advanced and applied nature. These provide students the opportunity to develop in depth understanding and concentration in the areas of their special interest. The students can also take up to two Courses of Independent Study (CIS) as elective, or one Dissertation Project which is equivalent to two elective courses spread over Term-V and Term-VI.
The entire package of courses is regularly reviewed, modified, updated and augmented keeping in view the industry requirements, latest developments in the specific subject areas and changes in the social and geo-political scenario that impinge on the management practices.

This institute follows a case-based teaching methodology. The basket of teaching methods employed includes lectures, case discussions, exercises, seminars, role plays, management games, assignments, term papers, project work, audio-visual aids, and computer-based learning methods. The evaluation is a continuous process based on assignments, quizzes, project work, seminar presentation, viva-voce, mid-term test and final examination. The Term Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade Point Average are computed in each term as the credit-weighted averages of individual grades in and up to each term respectively.
