The objective is to provide the student of management with a basic knowledge of the American legal system, the legal process and relevant substantive law that is necessary to making informed and effective business decisions. The law develops and evolves in response to changing social, economic, political and technological forces, and business decisions often carry long-lasting, as well as delayed effects. This course emphasizes the study of the law of torts, contracts and product liability. It is hoped that consideration of a study of these legal principles will give prospective managers insight into the dynamics of the legal process to enable them to predict as soundly as possible the future legal environment in which their present decisions will bear fruit.

C580: Operations Management

May 12 – July 31, 2025

Surveys the management of operations in manufacturing and service firms. Diverse activities, such as determining the size and type of production process, purchasing the appropriate raw materials, planning, and scheduling the flow of materials and the nature and content of inventories, assuring product quality, and deciding on the production hardware and how it gets used, comprise this function of a company. Managing operations well requires both strategic and tactical skills. The topics considered include process analysis, workforce issues, materials management, quality and productivity, technology and strategic planning, with relevant analytical techniques. The course makes considerable use of business cases. Most classes will be spent discussing the cases assigned.

Aug. 3–8, 2025

Today’s business environment forces executives to use every tool at their disposal to create and maintain an effective and adaptable organization. A major source of effectiveness and adaptability is the way in which the company’s efforts are organized — its systems, structures, management process, rewards and strategies. The primary job of senior management today is to design, build and operate organizations that function effectively. What this means is that the organization is in a constant state of change. Understanding the change process is vital. Knowing the roadblocks to effective change is very important. The role of the manager as a change agent becomes critical. Often the problems arise not from the change itself, but the process of making the change. Individuals resist change. It is a natural phenomenon. How and why this change manifests itself is a central issue in this course. Developing the skills to move through the change process not knowing what roadblocks one might encounter is becoming incredibly valuable.

AGEC 685: Quantitative Managerial Decision-Making

Aug. 11 – Oct. 30, 2025

Examination of theories and methods that might allow students to establish or quantify these linkages and evaluate the consequences of alternative policies, demonstrates the usefulness of economic analysis as a tool for understanding these issues. Also explores current policy issues facing the food and agribusiness industries, including international trade agreements, farm legislation, environmental regulations, and food safety and nutrition labeling rules, among other policy topics.

Oct. 12 – 17, 2025

Purdue residency session to be held in West Lafayette, Ind. This residency is a continuation of the distance education courses above.

C550 – Operations Management

Nov. 3, 2025 – Feb. 5, 2026

Recent surveys of senior corporate leaders reveal that finding, growing and retaining top talent is among the very top challenges in leading a contemporary organization. Effective talent management is certainly strategic—how an organization invests in and allocates resources to the attraction, retention and development of its talent pipeline. But talent management is also intensely individual—how effectively members of the organization identify and pursue personal development and are coached to effectively acquire the skill-set they will need to function effectively as a senior leader.

With that in mind, this course is designed to mirror the multi-dimensional nature of talent management in organizations. The first segment of the course will focus on your course text and some of the best writing and cases associated with effective talent management practices in organizations. The second segment will ask you to specifically assess how to integrate talent management processes into an effective management structure.

C522: Information Technology for Managers

AGEC 686: Strategic Food and Agribusiness Management

This course explores integration of the functional areas of business at the corporate level. Heavy emphasis is on analysis of the business environment, setting strategic direction, assessing core competencies, choosing a market position and developing competitive advantage, and organizational implementation and control in the context of the food and agricultural markets. The course makes heavy use of case studies based on firms in the food and agricultural marketplace.

Kelley Sessions Complete

Indiana University Sessions Complete; MBA Awarded

Total Credits: 57 (Kelley: 36; Purdue: 21)

PROGRAM RESIDENCIES

Over the course of the 27-month program, there are five (5) separate one-week residencies. The first four residencies alternate between Indiana University’s Bloomington, IN campus (once each year in August) and Purdue University’s West Lafayette, IN campus (once each year in October). The fifth residency is a one-week international residency in May of the second year of the program.

Although the residencies allow faculty to cover course material that is more difficult to teach in an online environment, the primary benefit of the residencies is the networking/camaraderie that takes place between the cohort.

Hotel accommodations, breakfast, lunch and some dinners are included in the tuition cost. Transportation to the residency is not provided.

INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCY

The international residency provides an opportunity for you to focus heavily on business strategy in an international setting. It is a graded activity and associated with the strategy class. Strategy, by the nature of the topic, is a culmination of the topics you will have studied throughout the program and therefore, naturally lends itself to the course that would include the international experience. Transportation to the international residency is not provided but once you are “in-country” Purdue provides all transportation until you are transported to the airport for the flight out of the country.

Capstone Project

This program requires completion of a capstone project, instead of a master’s thesis. The capstone project topic should be useful to you and your firm. It will help you better understand structured problem solving and expand your ability to use literature research, frameworks, and data in problem solving. You should include your supervisor in the topic selection process.

The capstone project is a six-credit project that unfolds in three phases. During phase one, you will select a topic and create a problem statement and development plan with proposed methods and sources of data. During phase two, you will collect and analyze the data if needed.

During phase three, you will be assigned a faculty advisor who has experience with the topic you are working with. You will hold regular meetings with your advisor as you complete your project. The faculty mentor will assign the final project grade.

Capstone projects can be kept confidential and do not become the property of Purdue University.

Message from the Chairperson

As india's only top-ranked business school program in the world, the post graduate programme in food and agri-business management (pgp-fabm) is unique in more ways than just consistently being ranked number one. starting its journey almost fifty years ago as a two year management program with a specialization package in agriculture, the programme's scope has expanded beyond agriculture to include allied areas like food processing, marketing and rural infrastructure management. with a curriculum focused on providing familiarity with india's agriculture and food policy to understanding the complexities of agriculture finance, food marketing and commodities markets, it prepares aspiring managers in skills that go beyond general management. the programme alumni occupy leadership positions in organizations ranging from development institutions to food companies to famous online ventures like bigbasket.com., vineet virmani chairperson, pgp-fabm, the iima edge.

Case study Pedagogy

Pioneered by harvard university, iima was the first institution in india to adopt the case study method- a thought-provoking, interactive process of recognising pertinent, real business issues & arriving at practical solutions to overcome organisational & leadership challenges..

A prestigious line-up of globally renowned faculty, who are celebrated leaders in their respective fields. They bring an amalgamation of theoretical pedagogy as well as contemporary and relevant experiences from real life to teaching, resulting in holistic learning.

Through research across diverse fields of study, our community (faculty, students) identifies the most important and interesting challenges facing the business world. This knowledge is then disseminated through publications, conferences and books to broaden the impact.

Is it Possible to Get My PhD After My MBA?

In academia, numerous accomplishments can be achieved. You can earn a dual degree and have expertise in multiple fields, or further your career potential by going back to school . But what about progressing from an MBA to a PhD? 

In regards to higher education, many consider earning a PhD, or doctorate degree, the pinnacle of success. Usually, due to passion for a particular industry or subject, a PhD candidate will spend years of rigorous research to unpack its intricacies and become a leading expert in the field.  At the end of their studies, they are able to finally see their work come to fruition when they receive their doctorate and join alongside other scholars. However, is it typical for an MBA graduate to move onto pursuing their PhD? And is there a specific purpose? Are there different types of PhD programs? What is the difference between a PhD and DBA?

To answer the budding question: yes, you can pursue your PhD after earning your MBA, and choosing to earn a doctorate is entirely up to you and your aspirations. To help you better understand if getting a PhD is the right choice, we look at the path an MBA graduate can take to earn their PhD, one of the higher purposes of a doctorate, and the different types of academic programs. 

What is a PhD, and What is it Used For? 

By definition, a PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy in a particular discipline, which is why it's also referred to as a doctorate. This focus is typically for individuals highly passionate about a specific subject matter, driven by the pursuit to understand it better through rigorous research. A majority of students seeking their PhD are eager researchers, although there are always exceptions, and each carries out years of highly intensive research to conclude their original thesis and earn their doctorate. 

In terms of translating your education into a career, a doctorate can be used in a plethora of fields, especially if one’s thesis is around a wider subject matter and can be a discipline applied to various industries (take organizational development, for example). For those who are passionate about a career in research, a doctoral degree is a perfect fit. Possibly the most popular field for those with a doctorate is a fruitful career in academia, teaching their subject matter to others interested in the same area. Many graduates become faculty members at business schools upon completing their PhD and provide their expertise to their students. Regardless of which industry you choose, you can be assured that a PhD will provide you with numerous opportunities. 

How Long Does it Take to Progress from an MBA to PhD?

The timeframe for earning your PhD can vary depending on program and location. Many countries have varying timelines of how long the completion of a doctoral program will take. In the United States, the average is around 4-5 years of completion after receiving your Master of Business Administration. 

Do You Need an MBA to Get a PhD?

To be accepted into a doctoral program, you must have a master’s degree. It does not have to be a Master of Business Administration, but it does need to be a master’s of some form. Depending on your area of specialization, it could be advantageous to earn your MBA in pursuit of a PhD if you are planning to embark on a career in business upon completion of your doctorate. Additionally, one important aspect to consider is the program itself. It is important to look into a program’s requirements before applying to meet the eligibility criteria. 

The Difference Between a DBA and a PhD 

For those specifically interested in a career in business, a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a highly beneficial doctoral program. A DBA focuses on a broader spectrum of business disciplines, dedicating research toward multiple corporate facets, and practical implementation. On the contrary, a PhD narrows into a specific area of discipline and research, emphasizing theory, and it’s potential implications. While both are heavily centered around research and implementation, a DBA sets business executives and leaders on a path to discover new possibilities for their organizations and businesses. In a way, it allows established business professionals to “trailblaze” the way for new and innovative ideas that can disrupt the market and set a precedent for the future of business.

Campus Life

The range and accessibility of books and journals available in the library is huge. A student can access to any books or journals related to projects or study related issue. Many facilities such as AIR CONDITIONED Classrooms are there. Most of the senior students run many social groups and clubs which created a good impact on our life

College review from the depth of my heart.

There is no such festival celebrtions but the freshers and farewell and and some other days which are celebrated here. There is a library which is very large have almost all the books and study material which you will need during your course. Extra curricular activities are there including competetions sports inter college and intra college or intra unviversity games.

Placement Experience

You will get placement only after completing your course. There are several companies like Garda Chemicals, crystal crop protection, bayer, PI industries. They have placed average of 3-4 students. Highesht package was of one student about 8 lakh per annum in LDC company. Only 30%student got placed. You have to search at your own the companies.

College's review

Teachers are good they are very cooperative...but there are teachers who does not co-operate at all.. they think that students are nothing to them and students does not matter to them. I interact with teachers daily and then they help us.....but then they think that we don't know anything

Course Curriculum Overview

Timings of exams were good But the teachers doesmot complete the syllabus on time and when the exams come then they say that you need to complete the syllabus by your own...they provide only the presentation in the classroom that's it.....rest we have to complete the syllabus by our own.

RPCAU at a glance

Good campus life while learning different different cultures and languages. University is having a central library for all the students and faculties where we can access to all types of books and journals. The university is also having different different units such as mushroom unit, honey processing unit, sugarcane unit etc.

CCSHAU, HISAR : A Review of Campus Life

It's includes all the different type of courses in agriculture stream with different topics like agronomy , horticulture , soil science , plant pathology , computer science. Wide range of scope is there but teacher is not much knowledgeable they only copy from notes and then delivered lectures to the students. It's very poor for teacher

Yes, participate in blood donation camp , Also training for one week in village under Nss Volunteer , horticulture training in different university , polio camp , awareness rally for cleanliness ... Also great opportunity for mountain climbing students in university

Cheap and excellent education for MBA AGRIBUSINESS

Specially is management course in agribusiness and qualification of the faculty is PhD and have 10 to 20 years teaching experience well qualified professors. 1:4 is the ratio of faculty and students . Every faculty member have specific knowledge on their subject.

After 3rd semester students are eligible for campus placement in general and department. ICICI, HDFC, fertilizer companies visited. Offers made by these 4lpa to 5 lpa. So it is right place for your professional education .

SHUATS- The heritage of Naini, Prayagraj.

The SHUATS annual fest is held at their huge campus and the students enjoy a lot during the fest. There is also a huge Central Library which has a plethora of books for all departments present in SHUATS. The Classrooms had ACs, a Stage with a mic, and projectors that made the classes more modern. SHUATS holds various sports including Cricket, Football, etc and there are many other extra curricular activities on the campus like NCC, etc. SHUATS also various groups for people from different states which provided the students a great opportunuty to connect and network with the other studnets on campus.

The students in ABM start searching for Internships in the second semester. During our time several companies visited the college for Internships like Bayer, Indofil, VNR, Yara, etc. The highest package grabbed by the students was 6 LPA. Almost about 85% of the students had got a placement and the rest of the students didn't either sit for the campusing or had other plans in the future. I started an IT company along with my friends and did not take part in the campusing drive arranged by the college.

100% Placements, Effective Curriculum, Four Internships, Great Faculty

I graduated as an agriculture student and was interested in working in companies that are related to the course so I think Agri-Business Management was the best fit. One of the standout features is the commitment of out faculty to offer guidance on academic matters, internships, and beyond. The professors are not only highly knowledgeable but also stay up-to-date of the industry trends. What sets our faculty apart is their distinguished academic background, with many being alumni of prestigious instituitions such as IIMs, IRMA, IIT. There are 4 semester exam which are scheduled every six or four month gap depending on the internship period and mid sem for every semester. The curriculum has general MBA subjects and agri business subjects like supply chain, agri input marketing, agri finance etc and it prepares and helps the student to identify there areas of interest

100% Placements and every student gets internship opportunities. Till now, in our 2022-24 batch the highest package is 8.8 LPA, with an impressive average package of 5.5LPA. Companies: FMCG (Adani Wilmar, NDDB, Reliance Retail, ITC, Nestle, Amul, Bisk Farm); Agri Input (Bayer, Adam, UPL, Seed Works, VNR, Pan Seeds, Zydex); Banking and Microfinance (BFIL, HDFC, ICICI Securities, Bandhan, Avanti Finance, Annarpurna); Agritech and supply chain (Big Basket, Dehaat, Vegrow, Mahindra) etc. The emphasis is evident from the very first semester, where the students receive guidance for GD and Mock PI sessions. But formally the placement training starts from second year by KIIT Kareer School having aptitude and psychometric tests and expert guidance on resume and interview etc.

Review about the MBA Agribusiness Mangement Program

In terms of placements, students undergo extensive training to hone ktheir skills in Group Disscusions (GD), Personal Interview (PI) and aptitude tests, ensuring their readiness for the recruitment process. The average placement package for graduates is commendable, standing at 5.5 Lakhs per annum (LPA), while the highest recorded package reaches an impressive 9.5 LPA. The placements is charaterized by various renowned companies accoss various sectors. For agri input - UPL, Bayer, U.S Agri , VNR, Crystal, PAN, Nuziveedu etc. Banking intitues such as - ICICI , HDFC, Avanti finance, Bandhan Bank,etc. Fmcg companies - Adani, Emami , Bisk Farm , Nestle, Amul etc. Supply chain and Procurement companies - Vegrow, NDDB, etc.

The MBA Agribusiness Management program is a residential program which spans four semsters and including various components such as Field segment, Live Projects, Summer Trainings etc. Completing the course requires earning 84 credits. Teacher : Ratio 1 :8 The faculty members at the institute hailing from premier institutions such as IIT,s , IIM's, IRMA etc. They have a remarkable commitment to fostering an open and supportive learning environment. They devote attention to each student, fostering overall development through academic journey. This is facilitated through mentor meeting, regular check -ins and counseling sessions. The term exam happens every 6 months of tenure.

Here students can live a good university life and the package rate is also 98%. Whatever specialty a university should have, the campus is amazing.The university is excellent in terms of fees.

Fests are organized here, attention is given to all the extracurricular activities of the students, other parties are organized here from time to time, there is a very good advanced library facility here. There is also a big computer lab for students to study. There is also an AC classroom with projector and advanced classroom. There is a separate block for sports activities, very good sports activities are provided, national international state sports programs are organized. If the rest of the students want to do anything extra from their side, the university provides full support.

Because my basic graduation in agriculture field that's why I take admission in this course.The faculty of ITM is dedicated to the future of the students and keeps conducting tests and some new activities on a daily basis.and overall maximum students support their facilities and learn new things and extraordinary.well educated faculty in this university and teaching methods is professional. Overall 2 midterm and semesterwise exam conduct in this university. Depend on students basic education qualification to pass this university exams.

Good infrastructure

I have chosen this course because it has more scope than any other course. 1:10. All facilities are highly qualified and most of them have done a PhD. Term exams are very scheduled and the difficulty level of the paper is not that much because all teachers teach very nicely.

Fees have to be submitted 50% before mid-term and 50% before main terms. Yes, there is a scholarship for girls they have to fill out the form. Also, there is a scholarship for the lower category. Fees must be taken without any late fees from the student.

SILVER OAK UNIVERSITY:- THINKS ABOUT THE FUTURE.

From the 2nd semester onwards the students are getting trained in the placement and training cell as after the completion of the semester the campus placement is started. Silver Oak has a recruiters pool that contains more than 900 companies. The main tie-up is with TATA, RELIANCE, COCA-COLA, MEDKART, and AMAZON. The student is trained in such a way that he is able to crack the best of the deal. The package offered here is from 5LPA to 10LPA.

Other than academics, silver Oak organizes an annual fest which is also known as JUNOON which is held for 3 days and the students can show their hidden talents. Even they conduct events based on the fields every month and also plan the sports event between the staff members and students. There are numerous facilities provided in the classrooms such as smart class(projectors), Wi-Fi, and Air Conditioned classrooms.

AMU MBA agribusiness

The annual fee is 15355 for an academic year. There is always a fest going on on campus as they have a separate department for it. It has the largest library in the Asia Maulana Azad library so all the Books are easily available. the classroom is well-furnished and it is funded by ICAR. As there is a Separate department for sports too and they have a separate field for each game football cricket hockey swimming horse riding and many more. A wing of desire and thousands of groups and students association work here on campus to help society.

Their fee is very less as poor people can easily effort as I already mentioned for the master they cost 15 thousand for a whole academic year and it includes a hostel facility also. some of the universities are raising their fee so poor students can't afford the quality of education. There is a lot of scholarship available in the university NSP. state scholarship. sir Syed fellowship. Bharat Sewa trust scholarship and many more

MBA Agri business:Fee, Scope and Future Opportunity

I choose the course of agribusiness because like after BSc in agriculture you can go for MSc in agriculture or MBA in agribusiness. I don't want to prepare for Ph.D. in the government sector so there is a better scope of an MBA in the private sector rather than an MSc in agriculture. Another reason for doing MBA is placement. The placement ratio of MBA students is better than m.sc students and salaries are also good. Another reason is in the private sector and MBA degree holders will get better promotions than average MSc degree holders. On my campus, there are 46 students in MBA agribusiness and 7 to 80% of them will surely get a minimum package of 350000 and a maximum package of 8 lacs. The guest faculty of MBA agribusiness is quite good. There are some teachers who are not as good as others but there is a 100% guarantee of course completion. Semester exams are not quite easy or too difficult if you will focus a little bit on your studies you will easily get pass. Semester exams are delayed.

There are two fests conducted each year one freshers' party and another a convocation. Apart from this seminars and webinars are conducted from time to time on campus. The central library of the University is very big and has a large number of books but they are not useful for MBA students. There is a separate library for MBA students in the MBA department. In the MBA department, there are two clubs run by the department and the joining fee is rs 1000.

All Info About MBA-ABM From Integral University Lucknow.

The scholarship is there from the government side you have to apply for that sometimes students get scholarships and sometimes don't. there are no scholarship arrangements from the university side. in a branch of MBA-ABM, there is very difficult that you will get a campus placement.

Internships Opportunities

internship opportunities are very low many students have to arrange their internships on their own. if you go for an internship on the university side then you will face many issues. related with locations, time, etc. better if you find an internship on your own.

Software development & solar energy improvements

First off all this university well organized & impressive infrastructure, and provides better placement this reason you choose. All teachers are well qualified & 98% of teachers have Dr degrees so you are the best option. Teachers are friendly behavior & good teaching skill. Yes, this is a very difficult exam of midterm and final exam but you are daily attending lectures so there is very easy exams.

This university provides sports, education, medical, everything. Available central library and variety of book around 1.5 lakh books available there are 2 libraries one main campus and sub-campus. Well organized classroom wifi & ac/nonac classrooms with lab, all of the lab provide project room.

Journey at CAM

One best part of CAM is the placements Its legacy in corporate is since 2006 and now all alumni are well settled in Head position so they come for the campus. Students eligible after 2nd semester, MNC companies such as Bayer, Corteva, FMC, and Axis bank many companies come for a campus visit 98% of students get placement After a degree join any company for the job

An annual function name Panthan mostly organised in January Then food fest also in January There is a big library where all books are given to students for studying as per the syllabus and need Social clubs are 4 always active

OUAT Review

The total cost will be 2 lakhs over the course of two years. Hostels are inexpensive. Around 15,000 will cover the entire semester's expenses, including food and lodging. In comparison to other universities, it is quite cost effective. Some government-funded scholarships are available to students. Because it is a government institution, any government-provided facility is applicable. I have not yet applied for any scholarships. I'm a first-year student, so I don't know anything about it.

MBA - ABM is an emerging area in today's world that offers excellent employment opportunities. You can work in the financial sector or apply for off-campus or on-campus placements. Exams are held at the end of each semester. The midterm will be worth 30 points, the semester will be worth 55 points, and the assignment will be worth 15 points.

SHUATS Reviews

The campus life of the college is good. the cultural fest and the college also celebrate the festivals which is the main attraction point for students. Sports activities and competitions are also held in the college. Xpression is a 3-day cultural fest which is organized by the college. The library is full of books the only drawback of the books in the library is that most of the books in the library are outdated.

The placement of the college is okay. The placement committee of the college is supportive and hardworking and they will guide you throughout the placement. The college is able to achieve a 100% placement record. Companies like Nestle, UNR, UPL, Pepsico, visit the campus during the placement drive. The highest package for our batch was 7 LPA and the average package was 4 LPA.

If we are not fight then how can we win.

I choose this course because after the MBA the job opportunity is good and this course related to business management and in our country the business increase day by day in different field/sector. And the faculty in this campus is also good they treat the student like as a friend in learning time and some time strictly when student not doing the work properly. And the ratio of student and faculty is 29:1 it's also too good.but faculty change the period wise or subject wise . And the faculty is available PhD Level. They have good information for providing the students related to study and news. And the teaching method is good with the help of projects, blackboards and communication. The timely was a term of the exam is morning or afternoon base and it's completely in Dec/Jan and second is June/July. And no difficulty for a pass and if the study is good performance in class because the paper come under the syllabus.

The campus is affiliation icar, UGC, aicte, BCI, naac b+. On this campus the life is good. Because time to time on this campus doing different activities like games or programs.
