National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE)

If you want to prepare for UPSC CSE exam along with engineering, then you can choose the departments which can be chosen as an optional subject in exam such as mechanical, civil or electrical engineering.

Hi,
The institute offers Post Graduate (PG) Diploma having a duration of one year. To lighten the area of Horticulture, Veterinary, Fisheries etc., the institute offers two specializations - Agri Business Management and Agricultural Extension Management.
The willing candidates must need to attend Common Admission Test (CAT), which is administered by Indian Institutes of Management. The institute commits their selection, by judging the candidates as per the secured marks in CAT.

Yes Pavithra, you are eligible for the course. PGDM in ABM is just like any other MBA/PGDM program. We take in students of any stream from any college/university.
For this year, admissions are over. If you want to try for next year, then start preparing for CAT. Give the exam in the month of November. Fill MANAGE application form that will be available till December 31, 2019. Appear for essay & GD/PI in the month of April 2020, if you are successful, then you will be the part of 24th batch of MANAGE, PGDM-ABM Program.
Keep striving for excellence!

Hello Yakub,
Recently, just a few weeks back, UGC has announced that all distance education courses in professional subjects are banned. Diploma in agricultural engineering is also a professional course and I would not like to advise you to go for Diploma via distance education mode, even if some institutions are offering this.
Best wishes to you.

Give your best efforts to crack CAT, then you will surely land up in the desired college that you want. Coming to your profile, yes it will be considered and since your profile is strong it will have a good weightage in the selection process. Good luck.

Questions in PI could be personalized (about family, about where you come from), general knowledge, recent issues and a couple of technical questions from your educational background etc. GD topics can be general - previous year topics included topics like
- Declining child sex ratio - who are the culprits?
- Demonetization
- Love marriage vs arranged marriage
etc.

Hi Aayush,
You have a good chance for GDPI shortlist, which will be announced in a week. Do keep in mind there are many other factors too that'll affect the selection process. Prepare well and all the best.

It is very difficult. Lot of factors matters for the final selection. Only CAT percentile does not matter.

There is a less chance with this percentile. Good luck to you.
