Remarks

After a thorough check and guidance from many, I came to the conclusion that TAPMI has a very good curriculum and faculty which helps us get good placements. It also has a beautiful campus surrounded by greenery. Applied to the college with CAT score. After the shortlist they called us to a hotel for the admission process in the city of choice among the provided ones. Then GD, Team building activity, PI were conducted for everyone and process was smooth.

Course Curriculum Overview

I love Sales and Marketing. So did not want to waste a chance to directly join in this specialization after hearing that TAPMI is offering it. Marketing & sales faculty are very good here. They are experienced and very knowledgeable faculty. It's mostly online mode now, so have to check offline how the teaching will vary. Term exams usually happen once in two months. Small quizzes happen every month and assignments are given every day. This is a burden. Some subjects are difficult to pass as some of the students don't have that particular background such as accounting.

Class Size: 56Course Fees: INR 8 per year

Internships Opportunities

There were many companies that visited campus for internship offer. Almost 100+ came for marketing roles. Sales and Marketing roles were the hotcakes during this pandemic. Roles like digital marketing, sales, strategy, business development intern etc were offered.

Placement Experience

2.5

From 4th semester students can sit for placement. There many major companies like JP Morgan to ITC that come and offer a good package of up to 30 lakhs and small companies like Accenture provide 10 lakhs. Before the pandemic, the placement record has been 100%.

Fees and Financial Aid

They are charging 7.5 lakhs per annum now. Since it is online they are not charging any hostel fees. But there is no program fee reduction. There are 4 different scholarship schemes and are provided to most eligible candidates. Still yet to get a job.

Campus Life

0.5

Please don't ask. It's online now. No fests yet. Online Library is provided WebEx license has been taken. No sports or extracurricular activities. There are many groups, almost 20 clubs and committees run by students.

Interview Experience

4.5

First-round GD: why India is not a manufacturing giant? This was the topic. Next team building activity: Based on team communication and time constraints. Next is Interview: Checks confidence and interest in course.

Infrastructure, facilities , diversity , good for networking and banglore is a corporate hub so it's getting easy for to experience corporate speakers.
Hostel facilities, food facilities for students for those who are living in hostels.
And how they prepare us for the corporate world .and the faculty ratio in 1 :12 over there so small batch size leads to better concentration on students .

The ecam level is less difificult if you study.

Presidency review by MBA student

Placement Experience:

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.
