The table needs a graduation score of 60% and a valid test score. You can apply in the final year too. TAPMI reads CAT, XAT, GMAT and NMAT scores for shortlisting. Candidates with work experience can get a profile call at a lower test score.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Graduation marks | Minimum 60% from a recognized university |
| Final-year student | Allowed, but the final degree must meet 60% |
| Exam | CAT, XAT, GMAT or NMAT score |
| Work experience | Profile call possible with 24 months or more |
The process has an online form, test-score shortlist, GD, WAT and PI, then the final list. You first choose the program and pay the application fee. TAPMI then checks your test score and profile. If you miss the fee date after selection, you lose the offer.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Write the test | Use CAT, XAT, GMAT or NMAT |
| 2. Apply online | Choose MBA HRM and pay the application fee |
| 3. Wait for shortlist | TAPMI checks test score, marks, work and profile |
| 4. Attend selection round | Take GD, WAT and PI at the assigned centre |
| 5. Pay the first fee | Accept the offer before the last date |
Above 90 percentile is the call mark for fresh applicants and above 80 percentile is the work-ex route mark. GD, WAT and PI carry 45% weight in the final list. These are TAPMI shortlist rules, not a final admission promise.
| Applicant type | Cutoff score | Round and year |
|---|---|---|
| Work experience below 11 months | Above 90 percentile | Shortlist rule, 2026 cycle |
| Work experience 12 to 23 months | Above 80 percentile | Shortlist rule, 2026 cycle |
| Work experience 24 months plus | Profile based | Shortlist rule, 2026 cycle |
| Final selection round | 45% weight | GD, WAT and PI |
