I got to know about this university on Youtube where I saw a promotional video advertisement while watching a random video. When I searched for the MBA program on its official website, I found the fees structure and several facilities best fit as per my expectations. I confirmed my decision over the call while contacting the admission officer in the campus. My application fees was ?â_500, and my selection process comprised of a written eligibility test, group discussion round and eventually a personal interview round. My CAT score was 65 percentile.
TS< chooses the best candidate for the college. The college accepts MAT, GMAT, CAT, XAT and TANCET exams. I applied for admission through my MAT scores and I was eligible to attend the PI and GD. I was selected in the overall process and offered a seat. IF your entrance exam scores are up to a good level then we can get into the college. If any person has prior experience in work then it would add them more points.
The college provided me with many extracurricular activities equal to academics. I came out of my comfort zone and felt very comfortable to be in college. My professors all were friendly and helped me out in all aspects of the college. I got into the college with my +2 marks.
through counselling. I have given an entrance test conducted by the government and then counselling was conducted by them to select the colleges all over Tamilnadu and I chose this college in government quota management also admit students through MAT test.
The admissions in MBA program required certain parameters to be covered. Like class 12th certificate with good percentage along with this the admission was done on the basis of CAT scores set by the college followed by group discussion and Work experience.
For the admission in the MBA program, I applied after the completion of my graduation in Business administration along with this I got good scores in the CAT exam. fortunately, I got into this college after being selected under the merit list. also, I had 2 years of work experience that added more points to it.
Thiagarajar School of Management being one of the premier institutes in South India and PGDM being its Flagship Program, I had no hesitation in choosing Tsm. The high advantage of PGDM is that you will be involved with a lot of practical sessions rather than classroom learning. Moreover, PGDM is offered only by institutes recognized by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and TSM has been also awarded NBA and NAAC Accreditation. Pgdm is where you can build your soft skills and the curriculum is flexible and does not have to follow university standards and also can be changed by the institutes according to the industry requirements. For admission, You need to take up entrance tests like MAT.CAT,XAT,CMAT and the candidate must have 3 years of bachelor's degree from a recognized university by the UGC. Candidates can apply for admission once the dates are released and the shortlisted candidates need to attend the GD followed by the PI. Candidates from Tamil Nadu can take up the state level entrance examination TANCET and students can apply for counseling and selected candidates are exempted from the GD/PI process and can directly take up admission.
In order to test student's attitude thiagarajar School management firstly conducts psychometric test, where i was given certain cases to handle with which they can easily asses one's attitude towards a particular situation. I was necessitated to undergo group discussion which's purpose was to test my interpersonal skills. Then, finally Personal interview.
