Scope of Rural Management from IRMA

The Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA), is a renowned institution, known for its Rural Management programs and for offering great career opportunities to its graduates in the same field. IRMA 2017 test scores are used for admission to Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management (PRM) and Fellowship Programmes in Rural Management (FPRM), offered by the institute. These courses have a prosperous career scope and offer lucrative opportunities to students.

IRMA is high in demand as state administrations, educational institutions, and micro-finance institutions realize that the developmental process in India is just short of capable people that can manage it; the range of career options being offered to those studying at IRMA are wider than anyone might have thought.

IRMA 2017 saw a high rise in the number of applications, as today, it is not just the vast green fields that beckon students to finish a course in Rural Management; it is the amazing job offers that come their way as well. Global opportunities, from being a farm produce supplier or a cola major in some country to an offer to run a metal and mining company, are common for IRMAns.

Those holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management (PRM) from IRMA are valued by cooperatives, government development agencies, NGOs, and national and international donors, engaged in rural development. Good IRMA 2017 results could therefore, mean lucrative campus placements, during the 5th term in the second year of PRM.

The kind of jobs offered to Rural Management graduates vary widely. They have prospects in areas such as planning, information systems, marketing, production management, finance, human resource development, accounts, and rural development, as well as natural resource management. Moreover, IRMA ensures a handsome salary package to its grad students.

Appearing for IRMA 2017 can help you make your career in one of the 650 plus organizations that take up candidates from the institute. There is also an IRMA fellowship program offered for the students who wish to join highly relevant jobs in the rural development sector.

There is a scope of tremendous growth and innovation in the rural sector of our country, and as pioneer business models like eChoupal come up, people make a greater difference to the disadvantaged sections of the society, gaining enormous satisfaction.

The specially developed ‘rural oriented’ case studies taught in class, and the field work stint help create an acknowledgement for the rural realities among students at IRMA. Moreover, there are both entrepreneurial and managerial opportunities for students, in an evolving space like the Indian rural services.

Those who wish to be a part of the evolving Rural Management sector must appear for the IRMA Entrance Test. Candidates holding a graduate degree in any discipline from a government recognized university, with at least 50% qualifying marks can apply. The IRMA 2017 exam and interviews have concluded. Those who have successfully appeared for the entrance are waiting for the announcement of their final results, to be declared on 31st March 2017.

Those, who were unable to appear for IRMA 2017 can prepare for next year. However, remember that the first shortlisting for admission to IRMA takes place on the basis of CAT/ XAT scores. Candidates who hold a valid and appropriate CAT/ XAT score only are called for the IRMA written test on “Issues of Social Concern”. After this, the best performing candidates have to appear for a group activity and finally present a presentation on allotted topics.
