Senior management of ISAB consists of many notable personalities many of them are IIM Ahmedabad Alumnus. The institute has top-notch faculties from IITs, IIMs, and many premier central agriculture universities all of them having corporate exposure.
Now let's come to the question of whether the institute is worth joining? (Imperial School of Agri-Business | ISAB).
As the institute claims that there is an assured placement and per-student average package of a batch is INR 5-6 lakh per annum which is quite decent in the present scenario especially in Food & Agribusiness sector.
A post-graduate starting career at this package is worth going for ISAB. Since ISAB prefers those students to apply who did their bachelor's degree in agriculture and allied streams which brings like-minded together hence better peer-to-peer learning.
80% of pedagogy focused on industry visits, live projects, internships, and assignment-based learning which gives students a much-needed break from boring classroom studies and builds an ecosystem to bring out creative and innovative solutions to real-life business challenges.
ISAB offers 9 areas of specialization in Agri-input, Farm Machinery, Animal Health, Poultry, Commodity, Horticulture, Food, and Dairy Management, etc.
Having strategic tie-ups with agripositions.com, an HR recruitment firm gives the confidence to the claim of assured placement as this tie-up connects ISAB directly to over 200 companies working in Agri and allied sector which are excited to hire from ISAB.
ISAB also offers FAME SCHOLARSHIP up to INR 2.70 Lakhs to students who are meritorious or belongs to an economically weaker section.
The academic fee of ISAB is INR 6.50 lakhs, Food and Accommodation Fee is approx. INR 2 lakh which makes the total fee of the program INR 8.50 lakhs. When we compare it to other institutes offering similar post-graduate programs the fee looks slightly higher but in the long run, investing this amount to start your career with a better package is worth going for.
ISAB also facilitate Education loan from the bank to financially support students.
To improve the English communication skills, ISAB organizes English communication classes for Hindi/ regional language medium students.
