University of Mysore, Institute of Development Studies, Masters in Food and Agricultural Management

Reviewed on Sep 16, 2015

Entrance Preview

Had taken the Mysore University entrance exams. Was selected for M.Com too, but opted for Masters in Food and Agricultural Management as my father was working for NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) and also I was sure that processed food would be the new in thing in the future.

Course Curriculum Overview

It was a two year masters degree. The course was divided into four semesters. In the third semester we had various filed visits - visit to the various APMCs (Agriculture Produce and Marketing Committee), Various Processed food manufacturing centres. Final semester we had to prepare a dissertation of our choice. My Dissertation was on GROWING / CULTIVATION TIGER PRAWNS ON LAND - its pros and cons.

Internships Opportunities

There wasn't any sort of internship in my department. But because the course was all about processed foods we did have opportunities in this field, but we had to hunt that for ourselves.

College Events

2.5

We had a lot of cultural festivals organised in the department. Firstly we had a Miss and Mr IDS competition. I had won the Miss IDS title in the first year. Then we had a Annual get togethers. And many more.

Campus Life

Manasagongotri is the hugest I have seen till date. Amazing collection of books. The hostel had a little space where kabbadi tournaments were held. But there was any sports ground as such.

Hostel Facilities

We very provided accommodation in the PG women's hostel. Every room was shared by 2 girls. The hostel rooms were good but common bathrooms/toilets were very dirty. Food used to have a lot of soda in it. But over all the accommodation with the food was very cheap. The top floor of our hostel used to be used by ladies who pursued their Doctorate studies.

Alumni/Alumna

Though I don't stay in Mysore any more, I have moved to Pune, I got connected to many of my friends at the University through FACEBOOK. I don't know many Seniors.

Exam Structure

Exams were divided into 4 semesters. Third semester we had to present a brief of our dissertation. And in the Final semester the Dissertation. Final semester was very hectic, I had to visit more than 15 Prawn farms for my dissertation.

Faculty

My course was under the department of -INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES in Manasagangotri, Mysore. This University is one of the oldest universities in India. We had a fabulous, huge campus (which can be compared to any IIT/ IIM campus). My department had some excellent lecturers - each one of them was a Doctorate in their field. I would like to mention that here they also offer a course on Women Development Studies.

Nice MBA experience with an aesthetic campus and good placements.

Placement Experience:

Placements in the college are good for marketing specialization. Compared to other specializations, from semester 2 itself, students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Deloitte, KPMG, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank visit the campus. The highest package this year was 40 LPA, and the average package is around 6.5 LPA. The percentage of students getting placed is 70% for now. After getting the degree, selection in a good company is my plan.

Bridging the gap

Placement Experience:

The average package offered is moderate and there are limited opportunities for high paying roles compared to top tier colleges. Companies that visit the campus are mostly small to mid sized organizations. The placement cell is very supportive and conduct training sessions such as aptitude tests, mock interviews and soft skills development to prepare students for placements.

Good learning experience with Decent Internships opportunities

Placement Experience:

Placement in my college is decent, wiyh around 90% of students are getting placed. Students usually become eligible for placement in their final year and the college provides internships opportunities before that, which helps in gaining experience. Many companies visit to campus mainly from marketing and sales, along with some roles in HR and operations. The number of offer is good but option for finance and analytic are comparatively limited.

I choose this course because to get good knowledge like finance and accounts marketing and sales in two years of my masters .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would like to rate the course 7 out of 10. Because as these is a distance learning many difficulties occur. I am doing a MBA in ksou after my graduation in b. Com. As ksou comes under UGT it is more helpful for the job seeker. As per my knowledge the faculty should conduct a more classes may be through online so that the working people can attend the classes from wherever they want. There are many distance learning courses in ksou academic platform but they are not handling in a accuracy. They take a lot of time to announce a results, even to conduct a exams they take a lot of time. The question paper are sometimes difficult and the question will be from out of syllabus which will be difficult to attend. Distance learning course is difficult to manage

Placement Experience:

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.
