TAPMI Manipal, PGDM, General

Remarks

I applied for Tapmi, GIM, IMT among others. I was not eligible for any quota for admission. The cut-off for all entrances is different, but the range of percentile cutoff is between 80-85 for cat and xat. The admission process was very smooth and included the entrance exam, gd, pi and English tests.

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose the general MBA over the specialized branch because I wanted to explore all branches of the MBA before selecting a specific role. Each class has 60 students and we get enough opportunities to interact with faculty. The teaching method includes PPTs as well. I am yet to give end term exams.

Class Size: 500Course Fees: INR 15500000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

The companies have started recruitment for internships in September itself. Marketing, finance and IT companies are major recruiters in TAPMI. Almost all big companies like Gartner, jpmc, Deloitte, etc visit the campus for internships.

Placement Experience

Placement opportunities are provided to all the students. Around 6-10 students opt out of placement, the rest all do get placed. The average CTC for PGDM general is 11+ lakhs per annum. The highest is around 20+ lakhs per annum and the lowest is around 8 lakhs per annum.

Fees and Financial Aid

30% scholarship is given to 50 students based on various criteria. Hostel fees are quite costly but all facilities are available in the hostel. Fees are similar to other B-schools. I am yet to get an internship as I am in my first year.

Campus Life

4.5

There are many clubs and committees in TAPMI. All clubs and committees are managed by students themselves. Almost every student gets into one of the committees. Many sports facilities are available on campus, though I have not been on campus yet due to lockdown, all the facilities are available on campus.

Hostel Facilities

Two students are allotted one room. Electricity charges are paid by the students. AC is available in all the rooms, with bathrooms attached. From what I have heard from seniors, food quality is better than the general perception of mess food

Hostel Fee: INR 165000 per year

Interview Experience

There was a GDPI process conducted for admission. The GD topic was related to the share market, as this is an admission process for an MBA institute. PI questions were based on general knowledge, situation basis, previous experience.

Likes

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 .

Timings of hostels for food and go back to hostel time

Placement Experience:

So in the isme the placements are 100% there are lots of companies visited for mass hiring and the average package is about between the 8lacs and 9lacs from the 5 semester we are eligible for the campus placement

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 highest package was from Lowe's and the package was 23.7 LPA and the role was Product manager, it was offered for people from engineering background and with 2 years of experience. 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.
