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

Great blend of academics and real industry exposure.

Placement Experience:

Since we are going into our 2nd year, our batch hasn't been through campus placement yet. Based on previous batch records, though, students are typically eligible for placements from the 4th trimester onwards, once internships are completed. GIBS had a strong track record, with over 200+ companies visiting campus, including names like Amazon, Accenture, Wipro, Mahindra Finance, etc. The highest package offered was around 20 LPA, and average package was around 8.3 LPA

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

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.

Review: Analyze & Accept

Placement Experience:

College provides a proper assistance for placements, all students gets placed, exception of 2-3 students are there, placements starts for summer internship one two months after entering the college, the procee is on till maximum of students gets placed. In and arround 50-80 companies visit campus for hiring and offers is made to every possible students eligible. Highest package stands at 18 lakhs and is between 10 to 11 lakhs. Nearly every students gets placed, exception of 2-3 students are there. Ambition and aspiration in my views changes as time proceeds, so I believe in short term goal making, though my plans post degree is to get placed in an MNC to kickstart my career from good position, where learning graph is very high.

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.
