IIM-A to get 4 new subjects

In a regular course committee meeting held at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) for Post Graduate Programme for Agricultural Business Management (PGP-ABM), the members approved at least four subjects for the fifth term beginning from end of September.

Students of PGP-ABM will now get to learn subjects like negotiations in agriculture, information technology (IT) for agriculture development, inclusive agriculture business, and agriculture and rural policy design, said a senior faculty member at the institute.

"The subjects are a result of several recommendations that the institute received around the year from faculty members, subject experts and students at the institute. While the committee has approved these subjects for the fifth term, the implementation will depend upon the instructors as well as students," he said.

Implementation of the subjects approved by the committee depends upon the number of registrations received from the students.

"There is an upper and a lower limit for registration of these subjects. If the registration doesn't fall in the limit, they are taken up as projects instead of subjects," added the faculty member.
