Fast paced culture

The course curriculum is hectic and keeps you busy. But the faculty is amazing. Geniuses of the country surround you. 5 sections 90 students each. FABM students study with PGP students for the 1st year. Electives are chosen in the second year. All schedules are pre-decided. The whole curriculum is tough but there is relative grading and thus you can pass if you give your best.

I chose this course because of my background in agriculture. The first-year FABM courses are common with the PGP students while in 2nd year FABM students have their own courses catered to agribusiness.

IIM Ahmedabad Review

Fee Structure And Facilities:

The fee structure get changes every year but in my case, it was INR 24 lakhs including both academic and hostel fees. There are several scholarships from corporates like IDFC first bank scholarship and HEOL scholarship ranging from INR 2 to 5 lakhs. Also, IIM A offers scholarships to students who are financially poor and to reserved category students from the Govt.

The course curriculum is the same for both PGP and PGP FABM in IIM A. There are 6 terms and every term consists of 2 slots where slot 1 is pre-midterm and slot 2 is post-midterm. There are two examinations as mid-term and end-term. And also, there are surprise quizzes that are the unique elements of IIM A. As It is IIM A, so obviously faculties are highly talented, qualified, and experienced abroad like Germany, USA.
