IIM Ahmedabad: 3 Answered Questions

Is it worth joining the IIM Ahmedabad FABM programme after spending Rs. 21 lakhs?

Debolina BhattacharyaStudied at Delhi University (2019)

IIM-A's PGP-FABM is a two-year full-time program that covers allied areas such as agriculture, food processing, commodities and rural development sector, and rural infrastructure. The fees for the batch 2021-2023 are 28 lakhs.

  • One of my friends studying at IIM Ahmedabad said that a certificate doesn’t mean you will get a good placement offer.
  • If you are taking a loan then be careful as your placement is not certain. Getting a collateral-free loan would be easy but paying it off will be a real task.
  • The most important thing here is your financial goals and if getting a certificate from the IIMA PGP-FABM program fits into it then go ahead.
  • As the fees for this program are too high, I’d say think about it and only go for it if you are highly interested in this field of study.

However, if you are still dicey about whether to opt for this program or not I would suggest you to invest in attending a course conducted by Pavan Bhattad’s Brainival. It is a 2-day workshop in which he discusses speed reading, mind mapping, memory techniques, and ideas generation which was initially conducted in Pune.

The PGP-FABM program does not have any marks limit in its eligibility criteria. Rather it requires you to hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in agricultural sciences or agriculture-related disciplines with at least 50% marks ( or equivalent CGPA).

The specific stream clause was added last year only. Make sure your stream does not pose any problem and you are fit to apply. Your chances depend on two factors/

  • CAT score

There is no specific age limit for this program.

Is there a separate shortlist for PGP fabm at IIM Ahmedabad?

Aparna Das
Abhijeet GoyalStudied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

Yes, there is a separate shortlist for PGP FABM (Post Graduate Programme in Food and Agribusiness Management) at IIM Ahmedabad. The course primarily prefers students from agriculture, food, and allied courses. However, if a student is from a diverse background and has opted for the course while filling out the CAT form, they may also get shortlisted. There is no surety that all backgrounds will get shortlisted. For instance, it's rare to find a lawyer getting shortlisted for FABM.
