Remarks

No quota availed. Applied to many colleges but the course of choice/cut-offs. Minimum marks 85 percentile CAT for the course I chose for my post-graduation at Tapmi The admission process was okay and was not too tedious although the online mode of admission is a little difficult and we often face digital glitches

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Marketing is my field of interest and hence I decided to take up this course as my major. We are a class of 40 students and around 9 of which are girls, in terms of gender ratio. The faculty is extremely educated and good at what they do. We have a lot of guest lectures too so thats nice.

Class Size: 49Course Fees: INR 750000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

We are still in the initial days of our college and do not have in-depth knowledge about what kind of companies for placements and internships. They differ every year and may not replicate the processes from last year. But firms offer job roles in all criteria - marketing, operations, finance, HR, etc

Placement Experience

We are in the first month of collrge and companies have already started showing up for internships which is a good sign. Hopefully, there are more & more and better firns coming soon. My plans after degree is to work as a marketeer

Fees and Financial Aid

The cost can be substantially reduced since the mode of education has changed to a digital setup and students are not getting physical copies of books or access to infrastructure. So to sum it up- it's a costly course. There are multiple scholarships available (but all academic-based )

Campus Life

2.5

We are studying in an online setup. We get the links on time and lectures end by 6 Maxx, we do have other lectures post that (guests). There are about 28 clubs and committees available which is awesome

Hostel Facilities

1.5

It is mandatory for us to avail hostel facilities for both years of our b-school life. We have not yet been to the campus so cannot compare it to anything . Hopefully, we don't pay full fees for the hostel considering ee sre studying from home

Hostel Fee: INR 150000 per year

Interview Experience

3.5

I don't recall but mostly current affairs on the lines of use of social media , farmers protest etc Mostly GD followed by PI where they refer to the resume and ask for my reason to do an mba, career goals etc. I prepped using sample videos & reading my CV thoroughly & being updated on current affairs
