My True experience at TAPMI

T.A Pai Management Institute is famous for its rigor, academics, and pedagogy in 2020, it was ranked 18th among top B-schools in India by MBAuniverse. But this is not the sole reason why I chose this college, with both AMBA and AACSB accreditation TAPMI is famous for its best placement records among tier 2 colleges. The bad aspect is TAPMI's management. You may find them stringent but once you get used to them, you will find many ways to deal with them. The admission process generally happens in the month of March. The application forms will get closed in the month of January 25-27. My mentor who taught me Verbal in CAT RCs recommended this college. One unique thing about TAPMI is, it is known for its strong alumni networks and the programs they design to elicit the maximum out of them and serve it to the students. The recent launch of the alumni mentorship program is a welcome move by the management in this pandemic crisis and trust me they are managing this online platform so well.

PGDM- Marketing and Sales. I have joined this course which is just one batch old but it doesn't seem to be. Faculties and professors have well taught about the demand for professional salespeople in the market and they have tailored this course for students. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1. The faculty at Tapmi are exceptionally good and they are known for their industry experience. The efforts taken to complete the syllabus is creative. Right now, they have even cancelled out mandatory exams and converted them into research projects with an evaluation component. It gives a wholesome practical experience about a subject and as well as theoretical knowledge. The exams are not very tough to crack unless you never touch the book or try some UG gimmicks to pass the exam.

Live project opportunities and Internship Opportunities are abundant in TAPMI even during this corona crisis. I already had two live project opportunities. Companies like Brillio, Collegedunia, ITC, Survey SParrow and so on have visited our campus for internship opportunities. Many of them came with attractive stipends.

The average placement record for Tapmi for the year 2020 is 11.50 lakhs per annum and the topmost salary was 25lpa. Companies like Capgemini, Lenskart, TATA capital and so on have already visited the campus. 102 companies have come to the campus and PGDM-BKFS program average salary was 12.75 lakhs per annum.

The fee structure is similar to all top B schools in India. 7.55 lakhs per year I the fees for a PGDM program in Tapmi. The best thing about fees handling by Tapmi is the Dr Ramdas Pai Scholarship. They give fee concession to 0 students per year based on different criteria. The Summer internships are happening now and the national scene is not good because of a pandemic. So the no of students placed is gradually increasing but I have a strong hope that I will be placed.

We are the 2020 batch and we have not visited the campus yet. Every festival was converted virtually and to be frank they were not as good as a physical experience. Soon we will go to campus and hopefully, we will enjoy the lush green campus which is known for its beauty.
