Remarks

I had applied for all the IIMs but was not eligible for the interview due to my low percentile. The admission criteria for TAPMI were CAT score and work ex. The admission process was smooth, all the steps were clearly informed and sufficient time was provided for uploading the document and proper information was provided for the next rounds. The admission committee was reachable and was quite helpful in clarifying the doubts.

The curriculum is well structured with the student to faculty ratio of 4:1. The faculties are industry experts with a teaching experience of 15 + years . The course is designed using case method pedagogy, students get hands on experience of the concepts taught in the classroom as well.

Class Size: 63Course Fees: INR 1510000 per year

Placement Experience

Apart from the hostel expenses, the student has to pay the electricity bill as per their usage. There's no mess, but the campus has a huge cafeteria with enough options.

Campus Life

4.5

The campus has everything that one expects from a B - School. You name the club and it's there. Atharva is the annual fest of TAPMI with a legacy of 34 years. Samnidhy is TAPMI Student Managed Investment Fund(SMIF) registered with government of Karnataka. There's a book club where all the bookworms get together to review a book and share their experiences.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

PGDM program at TAPMI is fully residential and it is compulsory for the students to stay on campus. Before covid, the rooms provided were on a twin-sharing basis. However, during COVID strict SOP is in place and the rooms are individually occupied. All the rooms are air-conditioned keeping in mind the extreme weather conditions of Manipal. The vendors at the cafeteria are great and the food served is delicious.

Hostel Fee: INR 155000 per year

Interview Experience

The interview process consisted of two rounds : R1: GD and PI, R2: English proficiency test, GD topics were based on the industry trends and current affairs. For the GD, being aware of the current news is enough. Be thorough with your SOP and make sure it matches what you had submitted while filling the form. English Proficiency test consisted of questions on grammar and an article to be written.

Infrastructure, facilities , diversity , good for networking and banglore is a corporate hub so it's getting easy for to experience corporate speakers.

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

Likes

The college is usually focused on creating a transformative experience for the students. The students here get exposed to practical knowledge more than just theoretical knowledge in classes.
All the subjects include projects which is mandatory which makes the students to get real time experiences outside the college by meeting people outside college.
The students also get to work on a tight schedule throughout their MBA which is a great thing, there will always be something to keep us occupied like events, competitions and sessions which gives real world exposure to students

Dislikes

The college is strict in most of the aspects as they maintain high discipline all the time
Hostel closing time is at 9PM, so it's more restriction on students to go out and order food

Placement Experience:

The placements are good. The college has totally 6 semesters and after the 4th semester the students are eligible to attend the placements. The students need a minimum of 4.8/8.00 CGGA to sit in the placements The companies which visit here are - EY, KPMG, Mindsprint, Lowe's, Accenture, Tata Power, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Sabre, Oxane, Well's Fargo.

The average package here is 10.5LPA and most of the companies come for this range. The percentage of students getting placed is close to 95% as some of them don't clear the eligibility and some don't get placement event with good CGPA. Plans after getting degree is to join work and continue to learn

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.
