Following are some of the questions, which are normally asked by students getting ABM calls. We, therefore, are trying to address some of your queries below: Informative Questions regarding what is ABM:1. What is Agri-business management? What is its scope? Agribusiness Management is not just about agriculture. Its a management course where you learn how to manage a firm, which is related to agriculture/livestock/ food processing and other similar domain. It does not require too much technical knowledge,though; there is a foundation course in agriculture to familiarize you with the basic concepts. So even, if one does not have agriculture background but is interested in being associated with agri-based industry, this course would provide the requisite learning. Secondly, if you are not interested in agri-domain then you may still have an opportunity to get placed in a different sector as we, till now, have common placements for both ABM and PGPM students.But, this is not a standard norm, thus, this criteria of common placements of PGPM and ABMbatch may change in future. 2. Does ABM include various perspectives of marketing, finance, operations etc.? ABM has scope in all sectors including marketing, finance, etc. related to agri-domain. In other words, you will get immense opportunities in the fields of pharmacy, fertilizers or other agribased products or services which would be related to profiles almost same as marketing, finance, etc. 3. Should I try for ABM even though I dont have Agriculture background? / Can you tell the profile/background of current ABM batch? Most of the students in the current ABM batch are engineers. But they have diverse work experience. Some are from consulting field, others from IT industry, Auto Industry etc. Considerable numbers of freshers are also a part of the batch. 4. Is there an edge for ABM students anywhere over PGPM students? There may be some agri-based companies that allow only ABM students to sit for the process. These companies offer very good profiles.
