Impressive numbers! Average package of 22.21 LPA in the agri-business sector shows how valuable specialized management education has become. Great to see Indian institutes leading globally in niche sectors.

While the numbers look good, I wish they would disclose CTC instead of MEP. Maximum Earning Potential can be misleading as it includes variable components that may not materialize. Still, IIM A's transparency through third-party audit is commendable.
