Rural management involves the application of management principles to the rural sector. The rural market is different from the urban market. Management strategies that work in the urban market might not work in the rural market. An MBA in rural management would prepare you to take on challenging roles in rural and developmental organizations. 

After the course, you can work for government organisations as well as NGOs in different sectors. Jobs for rural management are on a rise because the corporates have realised the potential of the rural market.

Hi XIMB is a ssiter insitute if XLRI is a renowed top b school know for it quality education as well as placement record 

However their cut off result  date has nt been announced officially till yet 

You can get into XaHR(Human Resource), Xavier School of Rural Management(RM), Xavier School of Sustainability Management(SM) only through your NMAT score. It doesn't consider NMAT score for for its flagship, Business Management(BM) course.

Although it wasn't declared officially, last year it was speculated that the cut off for the above mentioned programs were as follows:

190–200( For HRM)

150–170( For SM and RM course)

Note: 1. This cut-off is used just for shortlisting candidates. You still have to go through all other processes after shortlisting to get into respective schools.

2. It has only been one year. So do not rely completely on what happened a year back.

Hope that helps. Best Wishes!

NIRD- PGDRDM course is entirely focused on rural development and aspects related to it. Since rural development is related to government interest therfore the growth and career opportunities are multiple.

Yes it provides decent placements and one can expect a package on an average of approx 4 lakhs per year. This also depends upon your calibre and skills. There is stability in this field but yes initial struggle can be there but in long term stability terms are good.

There are internships and field visits to rural areas as well. This will enhance your skills and ultimately experience in your domain.

Good luck.
