Questions Asked On TAPMI, Manipal

How much percentile do you need for tapmi?

Studied PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2011)

To get shortlisted and get a call from Tapmi, you would need to score anything above the 85 percentile on either the CAT or XAT. If you have substantial work experience, you also might get a call at 80+ percentile. However, getting an interview call does not ensure a seat in Tapmi. You would need to perform equally well in the PI, and GD processes too.

Everyone says K J Somaiya is better than TAPMI in all terms. Still, TAPMI is ahead of K J in rankings by almost every magazine or site. Why?

DK
Divya Kaur Posted On : July 8th, 2021
Studied PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2011)

TAPMI is considered to be much better than K J Somaiya. I can say this because my brother has completed his education from TAPMI and I have some friends who have studied in K J Somaiya.

  • TAPMI has been AACSB accredited for the past few years now. It's not that simple for colleges to attain and maintain that accreditation. TAPMI is ahead in rankings because it deserves to be ranked above K J Somaiya.
  • K J Somaiya provides courses for a lesser amount of money as compared to TAPMI and this is one of the major reasons why people tend to get confused between TAPMI and K J Somaiya.
  • Both K J Somaiya and TAPMI are considered to be Tier 2 colleges in India. TAPMI has been able to make students good leaders.
  • The only advantage that K J Somaiya has over TAPMI is the location. K J Somaiya is situated In Mumbai which can be of great benefit for many students.
  • TAPMI has helped over 400 students to get placed every year. The average package offered by companies to students of TAPMI comes around to be INR 10.6 Lakhs per annum. Some top recruiters of TAPMI include Deloitte, Microsoft, and Salesforce.
  • The campus and infrastructure of TAPMI are also a lot better than K J Somaiya.

Hence, TAPMI is better than K J Somaiya and deserves a better ranking in magazines and websites.

Which B-school should I choose amongst TAPMI PGDM, Great Lakes PGDM and KJ Somaiya PGDM?

AS
Aditi Sinha Posted On : May 26th, 2022
PGDM Finance & Analytics, T. A. Pai Management Institute (2018)

TAPMI PGDM is the best option among these. It is a premier B-School. It has AMBA accreditation for all three of the PGDM programs, i.e. PGDM, PGDM-HR, and PGDM-BKFS. 

TAPMI placements are excellent. According to 2022 highlights, the average CTC for the institute is INR 12 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 32 LPA.

The one drawback of TAPMI is the huge student intake. Each batch has over 400 students. The huge batch size often causes a dip in placements.

What is the typical life of a student at TAPMI, Manipal?

DP
Daksh Prajapati Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Studied at TAPMI, Manipal

The curriculum at TAPMI is extremely busy. The number of quizzes, projects, assignments, and committee work is enormous. Additionally, due dates are sacred. If you are a fresher, you go through a lot of change in terms of the development of corporate culture, and it's a pretty important lesson for an MBA graduate to learn. It can be challenging at times, but it is extremely vital. Even if you have worked, you put in more effort than usual (or you're forced to) and work to advance your management and technical skills. 

You are given a lot of rigour, prepared to accept responsibility, and work in teams to complete some extraordinarily difficult jobs. A normal day begins at 8 am with classes that may begin at 8:30 am and end as late as 8:15 pm, with significant breaks in between; tests, assignments, and projects take up your afternoon. It would be a lot busier if you were on a committee or if it was placement season.

The good news is that Manipal is a great place to live and that's where you spend your evenings (at least some of them). In the midst of rural Udupi, it is a metropolitan metropolis with everything from 5-star hotels and bars to beaches and shopping centers. People party hard because alcohol is inexpensive, and those who work the hardest are also the hardest party animals!

Motor vehicles are allowed for both juniors and seniors and you must be on campus by 11:30 p.m. If you work till two or three in the morning to finish any unfinished business, the Night Canteen will save the day. However, at the end of the day, you know that you are preparing yourself for the corporate world (the placements are excellent), and that motivates you.

What are the TAPMI PGDM interview experiences like?

DK
Divya Kaur Posted On : April 28th, 2023
Studied PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2011)

My experience for the TAPMI PGDM interview was excellent, there were two people during the interview panel, one male and one female. As I had some work experience they directly started me asking the company valuations and how can we decide how valuable a company is, they asked me about the CEO and recent news related to the company, they asked me about my hobbies and a few questions related to that. They also asked me questions about my undergraduate, like Fourier transform and Laplace transform, as it has been too long since I did engineering I told them I am not able to answer these questions. The overall experience was great.

How is KIIT better than VIT, SRM and Manipal?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 26th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I would place these institutions in this rank-

  1. MIT (Main Campus- Manipal) 
  2. VIT
  3. SRM
  4. KIIT

However, KIIT will overtake VIT and SRM because the academics and placements at this institution are getting better over the years.

As an alumnus of MIT, here are a few reasons why I have placed MIT in the top:

  1. Top Engineering streams like CSE, IT, Mech, ECE, and EEE at MIT are as good as the NITs.
  2. It has only merit-based seats and no management quota. On the other hand, in KIIT and other institutions, the majority of intake is from management quota.
  3. The All India MU-OET exam brings in a good crowd at MIT. The campus life, faculty, and alumni are also great.
  4. MIT has a decent placement record and a great campus life. During placements at MIT, I sat for 50 companies and by the end received 3 placement offers. Currently, I am working at TATA Motors.
  5. If the high fee is not an issue for you, MIT is the best option after IITs, BITS, and top NITs.
  6. People tolerate opposing views and the approach is more egalitarian at MIT.
  7. MIT student has the distinction of being an undergraduate with the highest number of research papers in the country to his credit (22 research papers in 4 years).

Though KIIT is a good institution with improving academics and placements, I would say that MIT ranks the highest among the four.

What are the rules of TAPMI regarding visiting home during the weekend? Does TAPMI allow parents to stay in the ward inside the campus guest house?

HT
Hitesh Takran Posted On : May 27th, 2023
Studied at T. A. Pai Management Institute

In TAPMI, the students are not allowed to stay overnight outside the campus during their course, and 100% attendance is expected. The students are allowed to leave the campus only during their term breaks. 

TAPMI has a guest that provides accommodations to official guests, visiting faculty, and corporate executives. TAPMI does not allow parents to stay with their wards in the guest house.

However, TAPMI has tie-ups with hotels and lodges nearby that offer accommodations to parents and guardians of the students.

How strict is TAPMI?

SG
Sanjeev Ghosh Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied Post Graduate Diploma in Management at T. A. Pai Management Institute

 If you're considering attending TAPMI, there are some rules and regulations you should be aware of. Here's what you need to know:

  • In the past, a 100% attendance record was required, and you couldn't take night-outs or skip classes without a medical certificate from KMC, Manipal. However, the attendance rule has been relaxed, and you can take night outs if you get permission from the warden. If you need to miss class due to illness, you can submit a medical certificate from the in-house nurse.
  • There are still some strict rules that you need to follow. You must be inside the campus by 11.30 PM every day unless you have taken a night out. Smoking and drinking on campus are not allowed, and you must be on time for your classes.
  • To be promoted to the second year, you must maintain a minimum of 4.4 CGPA.
  • While all this might seem intimidating, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun. The campus celebrates all major Indian festivals, and there are lots of DJ nights, sports competitions, committee parties, class parties, and FAS group parties to enjoy. Plus, there are section wars and a great friend circle to help you get through the two years.

How good is the TAPMI MBA? How are the placements there?

HT
Hitesh Takran Posted On : May 1st, 2023
Studied at T. A. Pai Management Institute

In my opinion, University of Dubai is recognized by the AASCB, but it doesn't have a campus because it's still being built (Dubai Academic City), and there's no clear information about its placement rates.

Aside from this, another important thing to think about is ROI. According to what I know, if someone gets a job that pays AED8,000 but doesn't cover housing and food, it will take at least three years for the money to pay off. 

Another factor is Dubai Visa Regulations. If you can stay there for a long time, I think it all depends on the company that pays for your visa. I asked a few of my friends who work in Dubai, and they said it's good if the job comes with housing and food. Lastly, I would suggest that you think about the things I've described above before signing up for the course.
