HI,

Rural management is a unique specialisation that prepares aspiring professionals to plan, strategize, manage, and implement innovative ideas that will improve India's rural landscape. Because the rural hinterland is mostly untapped and considerable effort has been made to tap this untapped area, this course provides a tremendous potential for the righteous growth of aspiring professionals. Multinational corporations, government agencies, and Indian businesses are all looking to expand their horizons in the rural economy, so this is an excellent opportunity for you to advance your career.

Please Check the eligibility criteria for the same for different courses:

• Diploma in Rural Management is a foundation programme that can be taken after passing the 10+2 level with a minimum overall percentage of 50%.
• After completing 10+2 with a minimum overall percentage of 50% in any stream, you can apply for a B.A. in Rural Management/Rural Development.
• Candidates for the postgraduate degree must have a minimum overall percentage of 50% at the graduate level from a recognised institute/college.
• A candidate for a Ph.D. in rural management must hold a masters degree in rural management from an AICTE-accredited institution. Following that, you will be required to take an entrance exam as the first stage in the screening process.
