What is the placement scenario and scope of the IIM PGP Agri Business Management (ABM) program in general and with special reference to IIM Lucknow?

It depends on the other options available to you. ABM graduates are eligible for many of the marketing and operations jobs that normal PGP students are. Choosing an ABM at any of the top IIMs (including IIM Lucknow) is a better option than a general MBA from a tier 2 business school. Even if you take a drop for CAT, it will be a waste of your year. In an MBA, your college tag makes a big difference. In the long run, the IIM tag will benefit your corporate career a lot.

IIML Hel(L) that shoots you to heaven

Tution fee is around 25lacs for the whole course which includes your books and accomodation. A mess fee of Rs. 18000 per term is applicable and the miscellaneous expenditure on stationary would cost you around a 1000 per month. There are a lot of govt. Scholarships provided by state and center govts including specific caste based scholarships by the govt. The institute provides need and merit based scholarships depending upon the set down criteria changing from time to time. Monetary assistance is provided to meritorious students based upon their grades and performance in terms of book allowance (not cash) Loan at substantially low rates are also available to the students.

Pretty good

The fees structure is updated regularly, for the 2017-19 batch it was 14 LPA. There is no special financial assistance provided for students. But for the economically weaker section, there is a provision in PGP Manual for financial assistance.
