Which is the best college in Bangalore for an MBA/PGDM, TAPMI, SIBM-B, or IIM B?

BG

All three institutes you mentioned - TAPMI, SIBM-B, and IIM B are highly reputed for their MBA/PGDM programs in Bangalore. TAPMI and IIM-B are legacy institutions as they were established in 1980 and 1973 respectively while SIBM-B was established in 2008. 

Seems like you are looking for Bangalore colleges only, so I assume you have some constraints regarding shifting to any other city than Bangalore. But if not then you can try and go for some other B-schools in the country. It depends on if you have got calls from all three, in that case go for IIM-B, as it is among the top two or three B-schools in India. 

For further assistance below is a table comparing the three colleges on different aspects;

No, TAPMI doesn’t discriminate against its students on the basis of whether they have any work experience or not. But if a company visits the college with a specific requirement, the CV Shortlisting is done accordingly and there are companies that don’t want candidates with more than 3 years of work experience.

In the industry, which colleges are considered to be premium B-schools in India? Is TAPMI one of them?

SA
Sridhar Anand Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
MBA from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2018)

Firstly, you need to know that TAPMI is not a B school in the industry, and students usually opt for it as their last option. It is mainly due to the recruiting companies who come for placements.

However, TAPMI is the first MBA college in India to get an AACSB accreditation, and recently they've also acquired the AMBA accreditation- which works as a brand name for employers when recruiting candidates. The Institute is also working to get the triple crown and Equis accreditation as well. This will greatly enhance its reputation, placing it with the international elite club which will bring in foreign exchange programs and placements abroad.

TAPMI also has an expansive alumni base employed in top-notch organizations at top positions. The institute is constantly working towards its enhancement and growth in academics, extracurricular activities, placements, industrial training, infrastructure, etc.

Lastly, they have significantly reduced the intake of students. Now they are planning to reduce it even more to enhance the quality of education provided.
